THQ Officially Lets Go Of Its President And CEO

THQ has officially notified the SEC that CEO Brian J. Farrell and president Jason Rubin have officially been terminated. What did this mean exactly? It means that THQ is that much closer to no longer existing. No one was holding out hope that THQ would be able to recuperate after its closure and the selling off of its owned properties, but it has not completely dissolved just yet.

We spoke with the now former president Jason Rubin shortly after THQ sold off most of its assets. You can check out the interview here.

  • Good luck good sir. I'm sure he won't have too much trouble trying to find a new job.

    I'll never beat someone to death again with a giant purple *** sword without seeing your face.
  • Sad day. I hope they can find jobs in the industry, which I'm almost certain they will.

  • This is all so sad. I'll mis you THQ!
  • Talented man like that, I'm sure he'll find a home somewhere. GI sure is getting a lot of mileage out of that feature pic though!
  • This slow death is kind of sad and depressing. Just watching it happen and knowing that there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. Then every time you think you've heard the last of the news, there's another story about the dead horse getting beaten again.
  • Goodbye THQ. Good luck Rubin.

  • I read a cracked article about how THQ fell under and it totally reminded me that THQ made some HORRIBLE decisions in the past and it should have came as no surprise. I only feel truly sorry for Vigil but THQ itself kinda had it coming.
  • RIP THQ.  And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

  • Very sad. Wish them the best of luck. I will really miss THQ.

  • They should be find, they got the horsemen of apocalypse to care for them.
  • Same pic from the magazine interview back when he came aboard. Must have been lots of fun, being the captain of a sinking ship.

  • I wanna see where Rubin goes next...

  • Hopefully we'll find out soon where THQ's remaining franchises end up. Best of luck to Brian and Jason...it's a tough job market :(

  • Feel sorry for the the people who lost their jobs, not the bigwigs.  The CEOs of corporations are far more likely to be well off than the ”little people” in the companies that go under.  Don't let this artucke make you forget about the people who made these games and how they are now screwed.

  • everytime i see THQ stuff i'm gonna be sad :/

  • now they see the power of my spells. im like freddy kruger to THQ... one down more to go.

  • Guess the captain goes down with the ship. . .

  • Good bye THQ.  They made some of the best games I've played.  I hope all these people can find new jobs.

  • Well, they had a good, strong year till now.

  • I had wished that THQ would some how impossibly survive, but I guess it's true, "All good things come to an end."
