This is what happens to a great company that started to release casual games...

Query: What does "THQ" stand for?

 

So? How many lakes are there in Lakerland?

 

So it shows that you're theory is completely backwards.

Also, there are a thousand lakes in Lakerland.

It shows nothing, it's just a name. And it's not a theory, I stated the facts. THQ was a huge company, making great core games, including GotY candidates, that were giving profits. Then they decided to release a casual game and went bust because of that single stupid casual game. That's a fact, not a theory.

I mean lakes, not big puddles.

Your argument would hold more weight it 1.) THQ hadn't built itself up to be the company that it was off of "casual" liscensed games (Disney and Nick for example.) and 2.) The fact that companies like Microsoft and Ubisoft still make great core games, but have had massive success in the casual market which actually allows them to fund more "core" experiences.

1) That's ancient history though, so doesn't matter in todays world. They haven't been making such games for years, until they decided to make uDraw...

2) What does MS or Ubi have to do with it? THQ went bust because they released a casual piece of crap called the uDraw. It's a fact nobody can argue with, THQ stated it themselves, so I have no idea what you are guys trying to argue about here. That game singlehandedly caused the company to go under, made so many people unemployed and most probably caused many franchises to die forever. They would have been fine had they continued doing what they were doing good - releasing great core games.
