oh please don't let EA get any of them... I don't want to see some of my favorite franchises getting fucked in the ass by EA.
oh no
Or Activision/Ubisoft for that matter. The last thing we need is $15 Metro DLC or more retarded DRM issues.
I wouldn't mind Ubisoft getting hold of Metro, because they announced MONTHS ago that they were getting rid of their retarded DRM, and they've released some good titles in the past and haven't fucked up any major titles that I know of. EA is VERY questionable, because they almost always fuck developers in the ass and force them to make major (bad) changes to games, which kills off the series. Also DLC. Activision...I don't even know if they make any games other than COD and football at this point. They might manage not to fuck up the next metro game, but if it has any success at all they'll just rehash it over and over with fucktons of useless DLC. I don't really know much about Warner Bros' antics, they haven't made any drastic fuck ups that I've heard of. Then again, I haven't heard of any major titles from them, so IDK. So at the moment, Ubisoft would be the only one that I would be okay with getting the rights to some of the titles. Lesser of three evils, you know? EDIT: Woah, Warner bros made the Arkham series? Here's hoping.
So long as they keep the same devs for working titles and are left alone to do their thing, I guess it won't be too bad... Eh.
Valve?
Quick, somebody decent get a hold of Dawn of War.
It'd be cool as fuck to buy the rights to a lesser-known franchise.
I'll take one Company of Heros franchise, please.
I just don't want EA or Activision to get a hold of anything.
[QUOTE=Silent-Bob;39137061]Or Activision/Ubisoft for that matter. The last thing we need is $15 Metro DLC or more retarded DRM issues.[/QUOTE] you mean like paying for hardcore mode?
There is a hope for Dawn of War since Games Workshop won't allow products of their universes be horrendeus... right guys?
Wait, I'm confused. What happened to the Clearlake situation?
THQ should stop making licensed games. And get rid of uDraw.
EA should get Saint's Row. Didn't they want to buy Rockstar? Now they can get their own version for peanuts.
And some of that Homeworld, please.
[QUOTE=zugu;39139798]And some of that Homeworld, please.[/QUOTE] What will happen to Homeworld? God, I hope a decent company gets a hold of that.
Fuck
rockstar grab Saints Row plz.
I just hope Titan Quest makes it out ok.
Saints Row and Metro are really the only THQ franchises I care about, but I hope nothing is taken by shitty companies.
Ubisoft take everything please, You know what the fuck you're doing when it comes to games.
[QUOTE=DaMastez;39137607]Valve?[/QUOTE] If I wanted to never see another one of THQ's franchises release a sequel, it's a lot less costly to just let them die with the company.
