Hire some people to "steal" your 1.4M units. Claim it was the biggest video game heist in history. That should top burying them in a landfill.

For obvious gamer reasons...I do hope THQ burns and that it is painful. The studios not so much but, THQ....*sizzle*.

Second that burning comment, I got burnt by them not disclosing SC 2 is a Steam game when I look for a moderately good today's RTS for a machine that has no online connection.

i want a udraw.
i love tablets, and would be interesting to play with one, but im also cheap as all hell, so i would only pay for one at a sub 20$ price point.

Every botched business decision is criminal. I don't think the udraw tablet mistake is going to bankrupt the company. That was a $10 million loss at most at a company that burns through hundreds of millions a year. They're $100 loss projection is based on wholesale sales of both the tablet and games. Still I can't think of a publisher that has bankrupted or closed more development studios. If they could have priced the udraw < $50 it would have sold better. A $70-$80 accessory is a bit much for the average family these days.
