Is there a man who bought a THQ title at full price?Their games are discounted everywhere XD

Not to mention they will probably be in a Humble Bundle as well.

Well, they desperately need money. I don't understand why they are not on GOG yet. Nice, thanks again.

What?OMG :l

Btw, it's fantastic to see that huge publisher comes to DRM free only guys for a help, in the time of need.

HOLY SHIT. +1 to you.

If THQ has the good sense to bring DRM-free AND Linux versions of Metro 2033, Darksiders, Red Faction Armageddon and CoH including all expansions, I'll without a doubt chuck in $50.

I bought SUMMONER on release at full price! Never regretted it for a moment :)

Course this was back in what kids these days call the "Street Ages" of computer gaming; when you had to dress up, put your shoes on and head out into the big wide scary world and head to the "high street" to get the games. Before downloading games or STEAM or anything like that. Yep there wasn't even a GoG around in them days!

If you wanted to do it from home you could try mailorder or sending dots and dashes over the phone to use the stoneage internet (that's if you were lucky enough to have internet ;)).

THQ are circling the financial drain... supposedly

Well,on Ps2 era I bought The Suffering 1 and 2 to full price.
I'd love to see them on GOG or similar site :(

From all that I've read over on the Relic news forums THQ are very much in the drain! Sadly they branched out and the hit bad sales plus all the economic woes; as result they've already cut some development options.

THQ has a bonus in that they do have some solid assets to sell off - however they can only sell so many before the core of their company would be lost. That said they are also big enough that, with the right moves now and with a few solid titles released they could dig at least their core franchises out.

Sadly this has always been teh case for the gaming world - even the big names are on very risky ground all the time it seems. Heck it seems the only way to survive these days is to either marry yourself to a major online distribution network or pray that you can make a massively multiplayer game/free to play game go mental to the point where its a major cash cow that keeps giving.

I dunno, it's quite possible that they've been working on this for a while now. If indie devs can muster up the resources to develop Linux and Mac versions specially to appear in the HIB, I'm sure THQ could manage it. The only problem I could foresee would be Red Faction Armageddon, which is tightly bound with GFWL.

Such a bundle would have the potential to shake up the PC gaming industry. It would almost certainly be more popular than the indie bundles, and if it nets them $5-10 million - which I don't think is unrealistic given the mainstrream nature of such a (theoretical) bundle - then it may get other mainstream publishers thinking about whether DRM is really an effective tool.

Red Faction: Guerrilla was the one with GFWL. After complaints about that, and the fact that they outsourced the PC port, they did Armageddon in-house and released it with Steamworks.

THQ are good guys in my book. i've bought most of their games at full price, and i've bought the rest during sales and promos. i'd hate to see them close down.

why did nobody buy Darksiders 2?!? it got fantastic ratings.

I highly doubt the DRM-free part is what would drive such a bundle's sales. Steam Keys push sales of bundles more than DRM-free does as far as I can tell. (probably because of all the trading, sadly)
