Pretty much. Over the last few years, they built up a nice portfolio of diverse games, with most of them hitting my kind of games. For me, the are on a roll with games I'm really looking forward to
Can't wait for Desperados 3 :D
It's more a real time tactics game like Commandos or Shadow Blades.
Winner for best strategy game is a bit weird imo.

Sad world we live in but not surprising that they were voted for that. I'm more surprised of the snarky trollish "dis gun be good" comments filling up the thread.
Did the CEO's apology that Polygon posted not count?
To be fair, that's exactly what I'm asking for: that they fire the asshole who chose to go on a white suprematist pedophile board to promote his games. Rather than, you know, have him sit on the board and act like it was an accident.
It's wild that a major publisher interacted with 8chan and came out unscathed. Had this been Disney you know there would be an entire company clean up inspection from top to bottom.
I'm yet to hear of anyone who wouldn't have seen that guys firing as an acceptable outcome. Why do you think otherwise?
Seems like the rest of the world has moved on from the THQ controversy
This is annoying me on ways I can't describe, honestly lol

Yup, they have a neat list of upcoming titles, but the 8chan stuff is putting me off from supporting them.
Well they did seem to have a good showcase. I suppose the days of having a AMA on 8chan is ancient history for most.
Unscathed implies they got no backlash whatsoever. The backlash was strong enough for them to apologize multiple times and they haven't indulged in that behavior since. For me personally, I think they responded accordingly, though the removal of the guy who pulled that stunt should have been applied as well. However, I do not know what the corporate policy is at THQN.
I have opinions I wish I could say, but I'm scared of mass reportings leading to a ban. I think they should get the award solely based on their games portfolio.
Which is why it's a shame the media (as far as I can tell) didn't make more of this.
And tbf only ERA had a long discussion about the 8chan thing, the press and other social media forgot about the first week of news.
A lot of the things on Era that get blown up to be the worst thing ever are for the most part entirely unknown to most of the gaming audience.
look at the replies here, a ton don't give a fuck either, they just want to see drama on the board. disgusting as shit.
This makes sense. Before the 8chan incident they were a feelgood company that was bringing back beloved classics and I don`t think they have been using microtransactions, lootboxes or similar frowned upon practices that other publishers use and since the majority of the general public probably either does not know about or care about the 8chan stuff it makes sense that they are still a fan favorite.
Next to nobody outside of the few thousand or so people on this forum probably even know. Even if they did, news blows over pretty quick pretty much everywhere. This forum will be the only place that this stuff keeps being mentioned. Most people will have moved onto whatever the next story is.
So like I was saying earlier, someone would have to lose their job in order for some people here to loosen their grudge
There's a subset of gamers on this forum who actually seem to be very happy that people at large have forgotten about the 8chan thing or didn't care about it in the first place and it's weird as hell.
I mean they stepped up to those filthy sjw/s
Those GG must feel really happy to be represented.

Same. Lmfao. I know its going to loop but that doesn't lessen my anticipation every time I see it.
It's a shame the idiots who did the stupid 8chan thing work for THQ but their developers, who had nothing to do with that, still deserve credit for the great games they are putting out, the reason why I'm still buying their games.
I'm pretty sure the only people who care about the 8chan shit are people on this forum and people on 8chan. People who voted for THQ Nordic to win this award are probably just excited for their varied lineup of upcoming games which includes remasters of fan-favorite games and entries in long-dormant IPs.
An apology is one thing but actions so far have been too quiet. How are we to be assured that this won't happen again? Are there more individuals who share the same sentiment as the guy who started it? They have a lot of trust that needs to be rebuild.
No, they must support Nazism. That's the only possible reason some random voters endorsed THQN. /s

makes sense, they had a lot of exciting games and showed up at gamescom in a big way. also an indicator that the AMA controversy is pretty much dead and done everywhere else.
