I realize this is not even interesting to most people but I think it's worth noting when talking about the future of THQ and just how dire their situation is.
First off what led me to look up information on THQ's stock price was this article which seemed to claim that the humble bundle had boosted the stock price of the company.
But what people seem to miss is the extent of THQ's fall from grace. People may not realize this but at one point the market capitalization for THQ was just over 2 billion dollars. That was pre recession, it has since fallen to just under 10 million. So for a company that's supposed to be a major publisher it's valued closer to a single studio. You can see this for yourself on this graph
Anyways I thought that was a useful point to consider when talking about the future of the company because regardless of how their games do in the future at least the public investor market has totally abandoned them virtually.
