Adidas Sues THQ

[Fappy]

What'd they do to them?

Online pass, especially since Co-Op is one of the heaviest advertised features of the game. Smaller city, fewer events, shorter story (which implemented mini-games to fill out a full third of the game, where they were optional before), a perk system which broke the game fast (if the upgrades didn't do it first).

Oh, and over 40 dollars of on-disc DLC. And that's JUST the on-disc DLC.

In short:

Made Saints Row 3

That does sound pretty criminal. Didn't much care for THQ before... certainty don't now.

Bankrupcy plea, case solved.

I would like to side with THQ on this one as they publish many games that I love but from the source article it was technically a breach in contract and they refused to relinquish the IP to another developer. Adidas had every right to sue them. Cruel yes but in the business world this may just be a warm up, who know how many other contracts they can no longer fulfill.

I like a lot of games they publish, but hate THQ with a passion. I hope they sink and sell the ip's, to games I love that they seem to be continually screwing up, to a better publisher.

I just hope Relic and Vigil Games are not bought by a bunch of cunts. I needs me some more WH40K stuff but don't want it ruined by the sucky publishers.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Sad, but that's business baby.

I just hope Saints Row doesn't end up in EAs grubby little mitts, or Activision, or Ubisoft.

Actually the only Publisher I'd like to see it end up with is maybe Take 2. They don't often let me down.[sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub](Bioshock 2 doesn't exist remember)[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

RELIC DON'T DIE WITH THEM! I LOVE-ED YOU, I LOVE-ED YOU!

But but but but Darksiders 2 and Dawn of War 3 Nooooooooooooooooo!

I'm so tempted to go and blow a hundred bucks on THQ stock, just in case they make a spectacular comeback.

...Then my boring and sensible side slaps me for being dumb.

50% happy to hear this and 50% sad. Their work with 40k vs saints row 3 anger... so confused. I hope this works out, but a fitness game is not a good way to go for them. If they are to die they must die in war, for in the future there is only war.

The point is: Do i trust anyone else to do DoW Right? I don't think i do.

Flame at will.
