Goes bankrupt...
Call of Duty is to blame.

I like their games they have some relatively original games like Metro, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, and Saints Row, but what is this? Who was the company that published Homefront just year ago? And how did it turn out? You say Call of Duty is unoriginal and stamps out creativeness in the industry, but make a Call of Duty clone which fails absolutely.

Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

Homefront was awesome.

And I can kind of see how they went bankrupt from CoD.

I too quite liked a few of their games, shame that they're gone now then.

Did you even read the article? Firstly, the first thing you linked has NOTHING to due with the second link. Secondly, the man being interviewed never "blames" Call of Duty for anything.

THQ is standing on the edge of a knife because of some product they made for Nintendo that never sold. They made way too many of these things and it bled them dry.

There just aren't enough moments in the day to rectify the wrongs of the past.

Sorry gonna have to disagree with that opinion, THQ can be a pretty great developer, but Homefront was one of the most terrible flops i've ever seen. After playing the god-awful demo, the game itself was just nearly as bad.

I'd agree but its more the casual gamer's fault.

Homefront was awesome.

I liked it....dunno why it got so much hate.

The campaign was fairly good...but very short, and the multiplayer was fairly good as well.

Who knows. The campaign felt too short like really that was it? Multiplayer was good but with games like cod who imposes no online pass making it easy for people to buy used and easy pick up and go its no surprise how home front might have Been interpreted. It was a great idea but maybe at the wrong time. An over flooded market of fps makes making a game like this a gamble.

Casual gamers, everything wrong with the gaming industry can be placed upon casuals siding with COD and only COD.

Atleast its a theory of mine anyways.
