"The recent death of THQ..."

People seem to be misusing THQ's demise. [I]It was their own fault.[/I] We, as consumers, didn't do anything to kill THQ. They over-invested in something and it failed.

Namely the UDraw and Homefront ad campaign which didn't deliver enough sales. You can see a gigantic drop in their stocks at around those points.

If you read the article then you will see the mention of the UDraw that lost them 80$ and was the start of their death.

Nowhere in here were we ever mentioned as the reason for THQ's death.
