THQ memo asks employees to pack up today

4.8
Employees of THQ's corporate HQ and Vigil studio will stop working for the bankrupt publisher today. In a memo obtained by sources, employees received a "frequently asked questions" memo about the end of their employment.

The memo states that employees should remove all of their personal items by the end of the day, as access to the building will no longer be available. Employees will be paid through today, have health insurance until January 31, with severance and leftover vacation pay yet to be announced. All THQ stock is now worthless.

I hate to see the company go like this. They made some really good games on the PS2! And for the employees, that sucks. Seems like such a sudden end to such a great publisher. I guess they just couldn't compete anymore with the other publishers.

This one of those things you were expecting but when it does happen your still surprised. THQ probably would of made it if they stopped publishing Disney and Pixars games. Either way whats done is done. The only games that they did that were good was Saints Row and Homefront which have both been picked up now. Saints Row was picked up by Koch Media and Homefront by Crytek. Crytek will hopefully develop an amazing Homefront as they did with the Crysis series.
