At todays MIT Business in Gaming conference, Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, spoke about what he sees for the future of THQ.

“The most important difference is quality. Take-Two has the highest quality ratings among third-party publishers, according to Metacritic and most people in the industry. Quality really, really, really matters. THQ has had some good game, but their quality levels aren’t even remotely … the quality hasn’t measured up,” Zelnick stated, according to Joystiq, before ending his statement, claiming, “Strategy didn’t work and the execution was bad. To put it another way: the food was no good and the portions were small. THQ won’t be around in six months.”

Admittedly, THQ has been going through some tough times, however none of us expected their future outlook to be quite as bleak. Our wishes go out to all of the employees that might be affected by what lies ahead for the company.
