From Kotaku: 

Today, THQ was officially sold and auctioned off. Within the next few weeks, the company will be no more.

The company’s assets have been divided, pending final court approval: Sega agreed to purchase Relic (Company of Heroes), Koch Media has agreed to purchase Volition (Saint’s Row) and the Metro property, Crytek has agreed to buy Homefront, Take-Two will purchase the unannounced game Evolve, and Ubisoft will buy THQ Montreal and the South Park game.

It’s always a shame when a game company with such a long history goes down.  I had a friend or two that worked there, but in honesty I’m not surprised.

I’m trying to recall for the life of me the last time I enjoyed a THQ game and I’m drawing a blank.  Maybe in the n64 era?  

I know I definitely worked on a couple, but they were really shitty titles.

I’m not getting into the Saints Row debate again, I hated it.

The only thing I really mourn is when they shut down Kaos, it was one of the very few full on game studios in NYC.  Something this city is severely lacking.

That’s Saints Row The Third I believe, not GTA.  GTA is too classy for that shit.

It proves my point, when you need to oversell a generic, buggy, LOL version of GTA: get plastic tits.
