THQ, makers of Saints Row, Metro, and Darksiders, has finally shut down after a year of large financial problems and bankruptcy.

They were the makers of classic Nickelodeon video games for the GBA, and a ton of awesome games.

They were working on a new Metro game, and a South Park action/adventure game.

Rights to all of the games have been sold to other companies.

THQ is no more.

I'm quite serious, it's really sad because I actually loved that company, they were really good.

Some games were pretty cheap, but overall they were excellent.

No, not THQ! Sad to see such a good company go. They made such fun and silly games back in the day, I played a lot of their games.

alexanyways : No. I really liked THQ. I did not play Tony Hawk games that much, but it was  great game to spend a few hours to kill some time and hang out with friends. Didn't they make a few racing games?

This sucks.

I already knew this was happening because I heard they filled for bankruptcy a while back. They managed to publish an interesting game here and there... but at least the original developers of those games are still in-tact.

Honestly, I'm more bummed about Atari going down than THQ. Yes, Atari... who seemingly doesn't even DO anything significant in the modern era (there have been jokes that they haven't made games since they made game systems... but I know at the very least they had an involvement in the Neverwinter Nights series which was semi-recent).

Yes, GameFAQs.com did a poll about THQ and Atari's bankruptcy.

And now, only a skeleton crew remains on THQ H.Q, if they aren't fired.

It is sad to see such a great company disappear because THQ published some great games especially the WWE/Smackdown Games.

That sucks, THQ made some really good games. Why are video game companies going away. Maybe were going through the same crap that happened with the video game crash of 1983. Except this would be the video game crash of 2013.

THQ was a good company what got them into bankruptcy. I will find out.

Crazy Li : Atari went under? First twinkies and now Atari; there goes my childhood.

It really is too bad that they couldn't find a way to stay afloat, but at least the licences are being bought by other companies. The games will go on, even if the company changes, I suppose.

Hot Wheels Velocity X is my favorite THQ game. Some of their earlier ones were pretty difficult (Super Empire Strikes Back comes to mind). Too bad they're going under.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

THQ really has helped produce most of the games from my childhood. One of the first complex games that I got 100% in was Battle for Bikini Bottom (guess), which was helped by THQ in its production (like Alex basically said already). There were a lot of other games they made that I liked, but that one is really the most symbolic, Nya~.

While the only game made by them recently that I've had an interest in is Darksiders (2, more so), I still have to say that I will miss seeing them around.

yeh afew have gone under since the recession. People wont buy as m uch, and more damaging, people buy preowned and they get no money.
I didnt know they were making a southpark game, I hope thats continued.
legacyme3 : saints row 3 was downhill from 2 anyway, maybe a 4th will be back down to grass roots.
Intergold :
Id be surprised, they make some of the most popular games. E.A are absolute A' holes though so I would shed no tears.
