THQ to sack 170 employees

Posted By | On 01st, Feb. 2012

We know THQ is in deep trouble, and after a report which originated last week regarding them getting possibly delisted from NASDAQ, we have another piece of information now which says that THQ will be sacking 170 employees soon.

THQ has denied that there is nothing wrong with the company right now, but even Iraq’s information minister did that; we all know how that turned out.

Kevin Dent, who was behind the original rumour tweeted that, “This is probably going to break in the morning, I have sat on it for a week or so. The culling at THQ was 170+ souls including [THQ’s vice president of technology Mark DeLoura].”

Mark responded to that tweet in a cheeky fashion, which pretty much confirms it.

Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Thanks, Eurogamer.
