The THQ fallout is over: 澳洲幸运5开ꦑ奖号码历史查询: everything that could be auctioned off was, and everything else has either been downsized or left to mire inꦆ bankruptcy proceedings. Former president Jason Rubin told that THQ was largely responsible for its own undoing.

“I think it is incorrect to attribute THQ's predicament with overall changes in the industry,” Rubin said. “To be sure, all triple-A publishers have been under pressure, but THQ had ev൲ery chance to survive had it not made massive mis🍰takes.

“Unfortunately, the mistakes that were made long before I joined, like the incredible losses attached to uDraw, massive wasted capital in the unpublished MMO [likely 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Warhammer 40,000: Dark🌌 Millenium On💙line] that was cancelled, sticking with children's and casual titles far after mobile and tablets had killed the business, bad, late, or otherwi🎶se inferior titles like Homefront, and a generally haphazard and inefficient approach to deal making, left the company with too much negative hanging on its books."

Rubin said he had hoped to preserve THQ with a planned bankruptcy leading to a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sale to Clearlake Capital Group. This would have wiped away the company's debts and left it largely in one piece. However, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:publisher's debtholders objected that the de🎶al would not produce nearly as much cash as a piecemeal sale of its assets, and they were right.

Many of THQ's franchises and studios went to eager new homes, but Rubin considers it a "failure on his part" that he was not able to save the whole Vigil team. He is pleased, however, that Crytek scooped up Vigil's core developers to form 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:its new Austin studio.

“I made many calls to potential buyers, effectively begging them to take a look at Vigil during the process, but there were no takers. As I have also said before, I think that is a result of timing, and confusion over 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Darksiders’ quality and sales rather than an indication of the valu🎶e of the team. When Crytek asked casually about Vigil after the auction I was incredibly happy to be able to put them in contact with Vigil. I am꧒ very happy for [studio boss] Dave Adams and the team and wish them the best.”
