Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft interested in buying THQ

Ubisoft is a well managed company. One thing i absolutely hate about them is their love for drm and whatever nonsense that Uplay thing is on the consoles. They only make things hard for people who them money. It doesn't stop piracy at all and pirates don't have to deal with this nonsense.

Of all the people who could buy THQ, Ubisoft would definitely be high up my list. I really quite like them these days. Sure they've had dodgy DRM's in the past, but they make some top-quality products and support pretty much every console they can.

Like Green_Sky says, they seem quite well managed as well.

So yeah, hope this succeeds actually, I'd like to see Ubisoft buy THQ.



I hope they but them, it would be nice to see again good Red Faction game - though vastly different than original, I equally enjoyed Guerrilla.



that would be a lot better then being bought by Activision



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

As long as Relic goes on making amazing games...

Everything that´s not cancer would be better then being bought by Activision.



I would rather they took THQ's studios than EA or Activision, as long as Saints row and the South park game are left in tack. It will be a great potential buy for Ubisoft if true. It wouldn't bother me if square enix had any interests either, as long as it's under the western wing of the company that make games like Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I also could see Ubisoft buying THQ. Of all the big publishers they seem to care most about the quality of their games.

Compared to the shit EA pushes out sometimes it really is. Also I have to admit my formulation is a bit off, "survival of the developers" or "survival of the franchise" seem to deliver my point better^^
