damn, i guess that means death to any hopes for a rise of nations expansion. i was always thinking it would come one day...but the ah heck issue is...what studio is next? this is turning sour.

Thats a BIG shame for this is a very good game company. I still play RON and E3 (ROL was terrible.) to this day. Hopefully good vibes will be the order of the day and will help them.

Hard to believe that THQ would close them down totally they are such a prominent name in the PC gaming world. I have loved all of the games that I have played that they worked on. hopefully someone will buy them because it would be a shame for such a great company to go away

Why do good developers get "restructured" while crappy ones stick around? Damn recession.

Darn, I played and liked all BHG releases on PC; even ROL is acceptable as far as the story mode.

Shame. All companies are concerned with short term profits only, and it saddens me to see that these fine programmers who produced awesome games will soon be going home empty handed. When the recession is over, THQ will have to start again with poorly-trained programmers.

Where's the long-term solution in this?
