There are a few entities looking to get their hands on THQ and its assets, Ubisoft is one of them. Ubisoft is eager to take control over the studios and brands the publisher currently owns and I don't blame them.
THQ filed for bankrupcy a few days ago and handed over everything to an investment firm in the U.S. Ubisoft however, is looking for a bargain and are willing to wait out for THQ to arrange its current financial problems.
The titles and studios that belong to THQ, are pretty diverse. They could potentially fill in the gaps Ubisoft needs for complete dominance.Company of Heroes is a classic RTS and would definitely fill that gap up for the publishers.
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
I'd take Ubisoft over EA buying THQ assets anyday
Yeah thats whats happening, Its a business war between these developers. Watch Activision stick it's nose into all of this. Publishers want a monopoly on the market. I mean we cant really tell but they might disregard some promising titles if this purchase happens. The the bidding wars begin. ;p
They'd be better than EA AND Activision. Valve would be a good choice too.
id love this, my only concern would be if they turned darksiders and saints row into assassians creed.
