Kompiuterinių žaidimų leidėjas THQ paskelbė apie bankrotą

"Kaip oficialiai pranešė žaidimų leidėjas THQ, jis skelbia bankrotą. Visgi šios kompanijos leidžiamų žaidėjų mėgėjams labai nusiminti nereikėtų, nes leidėjo pirkėjas jau yra rastas, o kompanijos bankroto paskelbimas tėra įprastinė procedūra, kurią reikia atlikti.

Kaip nurodė THQ prezidentas Jasonas Rubinas, „Clearlake Capital Group“ nori nusipirkti praktiškai viską, kas priklauso THQ. Į tai įeina intelektualinė nuosavybė, darbuotojai bei kontaktai su žaidimų kūrėjais. „Clearlake“ netgi nusprendė finansuoti kompanijos veiklą per visą bankroto procedūrą.

Paskelbtas THQ bankrotas visgi nebūtinai reiškia, jog „Clearlake“ iš tiesų gaus kompaniją. Tai reiškia, jog ir kitos kompanijos gali siūlyti savo kainą, o laimės daugiausiai pasiūlęs pirkėjas, tačiau THQ bent jau vieną pasiūlymą tikrai turi. O pirkėjų per kitas 30 dienų atsirasti turėtų, nes kitais metais THQ planavo išleisti tokius žaidimus, kaip kad „Metro: Last Light“, „Company of Heroes 2” bei „Homefront 2”, kurių visų trijų kūrimas iš esmės jau yra paskutinėje stadijoje."

O tu bent lošei WCW Mayhem ar WVW Backstage Assault ant PSX, kas buvo EA gamyba? Tikrai nevykę geimai buvo. Tikėčiau, 2kgames gal ir nepavestų, bet EA - nepasitikiu.

Tik, kad ne EA nupirktų, nes jie jau pradeda sušikti tokias serijas kaip Battlefield, o MOH iš vis sugadino (nors Warfighter'is man vis vien labai patinka).

Gal galite argumentuoti, per kurią vietą sušiktas yra Battlefield?

Kad 'Sega' nupirko 'Relic' tai čia puiku, pakliuvo tikrai į geras rankas..

Crytek ir Homefront čia kaip ir viskas aišku, jie jau kūrė tai ir pasiėmė..

Dėl kitų net nežinau..su Volition čia įdomiai šiek tiek

Gaila tik, kad Vigil taip ir liko su Darksiders. Bet gal kas nors paims Darksiders bent kaip IP

O dėl WWE yra gandų, kad licenzija bus parduota Take Two

Vieno iš 'Vigil' games darbuotojų pasisakymas apie darbą kompanijoje ir ten praleistus metus, gražiai parašė žmogelis

My name is Ben Cureton, and I was the Lead Combat Designer at Vigil Games. I'm sitting at my desk among... what appears to be a warzone. The walls look bare. It's quiet.

 

The seats are empty.

 

We've all been on edge for the past couple months... and more so, the last couple weeks. I mean, I'm sure you can imagine what it's like to wonder if you will have a job tomorrow. Most of us here joked about it just to keep the mood light, but we all knew what could happen. Now I look around and I realize... it did happen.

 

Am I sad? Well yea. I've been in this industry for 20 years. Seriously. Two decades. I've been laid off more than once. It sucks every time. But am I sad I don't have a job? Not really... I'm sure I'll get another one eventually. I'm sad because it won't be THIS job. It won't be at Vigil. That's why I'm sad. The people I waged war with are no longer together. The people that I bled with, vented with, argued with (often times LOUDLY), and kicked back with... these people will never be together again in the same combination.

 

Not that it was perfect. But what is perfect? Did I like coming to work? Yes. Was I proud of the work that I did? Yes. More importantly, was I proud of the work that WE did? Absolutely. I knew, without a shadow of the doubt, that the project we were working on (Codenamed: Crawler) was going to blow people away. In fact, it DID blow people away. We did, in TWO months, what many companies haven't done in a year. The pride of knowing that no one was doing anything like us was so satisfying, it kept us coming to work and giving 100% every single day, even through the dark times.

 

... so maybe you can imagine what it feels like when you read the list of who bought what only to discover your name is not on the list. Why? Did we do something wrong? Were we not good enough? Were we not worth 'anything?' Imagine that.

 

Vigil was filled with people that I would put up against the best in the industry. People that made my work better, people that made me a better designer, and people that made me a better person. And now they are gone.

 

Their seats are empty.

 

It's OK, though. I guess this post makes it sound a bit melodramatic. Seriously... if you work in the video game industry you have to be resilient. Doing what you love often comes with a price - anyone who has been around for a while can tell you that. Today, that price has been paid. That being said, I'd still never dissuade anyone from following their dreams if their dream is to make video games. While it's not as romantic as it sounds, it's sure a hell of a lot of fun.

 

So don't cry for the people at Vigil. We made games for game players. I have no Horror stories from working here... only Honor stories. Through both praise and critiques alike, our goal was always to make a product as if we, ourselves, were the end-user. We may have gotten pushed and pulled in certain directions by forces out of our control, we were always in it to make games for game players. And that's what we did.

 

I can only hope that those spared from the other companies remain employed long into the future. There is not much worse than false hope, and these people deserve to continue making great games. You may not know their names, but they exist, and they bleed, sweat, and cry for your entertainment. I mean that honestly, with no negativity. They do it... no, WE do it... because we want you to have a good time.

 

In closing, I can only say thank you to the fans of Vigil games. Your support means more than you can imagine. Your feedback (both positive and negative) gave us long-lasting insight that we will all take with us, wherever we may go. You are the reason we made Darksiders 1 &2... and you are the reason we will continue to make games.

 

And with that... my seat is empty.
