I admire their goal to make great games, but seeing as how they're nearly bankrupt, it would be in their best interest to shift development to systems with cheaper costs (e.g. 3DS, iPhone, PC). It's a particularly difficult period because publishers can't fall back as much on the withering Wii/DS, but they need to get money somewhere. THQ can't be Naughty Dog either. Don't think I really need to reiterate this, but a company with a situation as tenuous as THQ's should be making very low risk investments. Not niche titles with high budgets. |
But focusing on Wii/DS/Low budget PC/licensed games/UDraw is what got them into this mess, and Saint's Row and Darksiders is basically the only thing that is keeping them going at this point. Focusing one the games that actually sell makes sense for them, tho it is risky.
Personally I think they should be doing some more low budget smaller games as well but they don't want to spread the resources to thin so I understand the reasoning for not doing that. Small games on mobile/nintendo platforms doesn't gurentee success ether.
