They've cancelled all their 2014 games and have shown interest in selling their company to Asian developers. Dawn of War II started the fall, and Homefront completed it.

But DOW2 - Retribution is one of the best strategy games outside now.

The Warhammer games were the only thing keeping me in the RTS genre.

I don't think so, and it appears the majority didn't either. DoW2 just was not as strategy game, it was a numbers game.

It has nothing to do with DoW. Fact of the matter is for every good game they make (Just about anything Warhammer), they make a couple that never comes close to recouping the cost of creating them.

The article says Rumor, and yet you made it sound like a statement.

Mkilbride, you need to get your facts straight, that's 2 links in a row.

To be fair, THQ is trading at .66 cents a share.

Have you even played it?

Its a tactical strategy game based on soft counters. Numbers dont mean a thing if you have the correct strategy.

Example would be setting your general into melee, while the assault squad shoots from a distance. This way you force the enemy assault who are weaker in melee to get into melee while getting pounded from afar. There are also units that specialize in melee, but are weaker at range. Giving your troops the correct weapon upgrades (that you can switch out later might i add) is what gives you an edge in the game. Not numbers.

This rumor has been claimed as false. THQ will continue making games.

Have a good day.
