I'm worried for Nintendo lmaoMicrosoft reading this thread and thinking about all of their distribution deals with THQ Nordic right now:
Well I really wanted to buy Ori and Cuphead on Switch and was really onboard with THQ, but fuck all of that I guess.
ARE THEY HIGH?!
ARE THEY HIGH?!
I
I mean, there is a reason to be offended.
You could still buy it digital
I keep telling people, this is not a mistake, this is the PlayAsia pivot.
THQ went through bankruptcy not too long ago, right?
Fucking amazing they would do this on a site that is on the fringe of the dark web.

Agree.
Hopefully their response to this will be good... if not... well...
They have reworked into Destroy All Jews to appeal to their new found audience.
I mean, Coffe Stain was bought by them and following them on twitter and the likes, i'm sure they're 100% against this. But yeah, the people on PR that were responsible for this need to be immediately fired and they need to make a statement about this shit
THQ Nordic is an entirely different company then THQ. They just bought the name
Welp.
Is it just me who have always felt like THQ is that big publisher that you know is big but keeps low profile? This might be one of the most surprising events in a long time, and we've had some big negative surprises lasf few years.
1. The move was approved by the head of PR.
2. THE SITE IS BLACKLISTED BY GOOGLE AND MOST ISPs!
Surely someone who frequents the place would know better than anybody how it could backfire? That's the part that impresses me, that they didn't consider that it wasn't worth the risk, not that they're ok with hosting an AMA there. They could still frequent the place and be ok with it, but think it's a better idea from a PR perspective to just have it on Reddit.
It's not that the site is gross and nsfw (although that's bad too of course), it's that it was the base HQ of Gamergate its harassment campaigns.
This is THQ Nordic very clearly showing colors.
Oh god I forgot about that
Yeah, this seems like a move that should lose you that license
He is talking about what a couple of people are doing... Let us see management response to this, after that, we will see if it is justifiable.
Fucking HELL dude. I was looking forward to playing Darksiders on Switch, but now I don't know if I can support this publisher.
They have 24 hours to convince me that this in no way represents the brand, and to fire the dumbasses responsible for this. If they don't, then I guess I just ignore THQN forever, as well as any North American subsidiary who assists them in promoting their games. This is really sad.

That worked out terribly for PlayAsia tho
and THQ's whole game is sell their games to everybody on every platform as much as possible, not 'cater to 8chan'
I think showing colors is a stretch, this might just be bad PR after all. If not then you have a point.
This is a leap in logic. I show no support, hell never even heard of the site up until now. This just might be a case of bad PR, most people here are reactionary and piggyback off other opinions. We can have civil discussions without being accused of supporting child predators, come on now.
imagine rationalizing the support of child predator safehavens
You would THINK that, it is a common mentality to have amongst people to not do that but Era once again surprises me
