How much the company has put together for all developers is not clear. The company says in their announcement that quality comes first. We can therefore expect a lot in the coming years. The company hopes to earn $ 80 million in five years with this purchase of 4A Games alone.
In 2013 we wrote a three-part series about the origin of THQ and its decline from one of the larger publishers in the game industry at the time.
