EA bought UFC franchise from THQ

[Primate]

As long as Company of Heroes 2 gets released before they go under I don't care.

Probably...but they have HUGE franchise on the Warhammer 40K (either RTS or Action) and they are fuckin great...

plus for RTS THQ is the shit man...blizzard suck compared to them...

Compagny of heroes is prolly better then anything SC related( I know SC is more popular....but it's a more arcadish RTS...and let's be frank...SCII was complete shit...just SC1 with updated graphicx, nothing new under the sun !)

There last chance is Darksiders 2. If that game does not sell, the company is done. I am guessing that THQ got a cash infusion by selling the UFC franchise to EA to help them stay afloat through the summer.

I hope they survive enough to make another Darksiders with the final two Horsemen.

Nobody buys UFC games anymore. THQ were correct to drop it.

The reason they dropped it was because they failed to break even. You're completely right, the first game was something most hadnt experienced before, but its not like FIFA where people will buy the same game every year. Games like Fight Night are at least re-invented somewhat in each iteration... I would assume Smackdown is still a bigger moneymaker for them.
