THQN. They aren't owned by one of the big 3, so no exclusivity bullshit, and they have been hitting some good notes over the past couple of years. They also aren't like EA, Activision and Ubisoft.

Too bad their quality of the games are less than desirable ...  

I'm conflicted if we should either have a morally consumer unfriendly Star Wars game or a plain bad Star Wars game ... (in as much as the critics somewhat panned the Battlefront series I don't doubt that THQN could bring in something far more atrocious)

Jesus they are the last people I'd want making it. They'd come nowhere near bf2. I'm playing it a lot. Campaign was good. Multiplaye superb. Currently rank 36. Only paid 30 euro on psn in December. Absolute bargain for such a high quality and fun game

Funny thing is that this was a home run for EA.
A new Kotor, new Battlefront, a new 3rd person action game such as Force Unleashed etc... it was all 100% success guaranteed... but they somehow screwed up...

The biggest fuck up was visceral. Things must have been bad if they shut them down. At least the assets will be reused.
