Letter from Alleged THQ Staffer Calls Out Management, CEO

Posted Jan 25, 2012 at 3:30PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: saints row the third, THQ

THQ hasn’t been doing great over the last few months, and this nasty letter from a former employee doesn’t make things look any better.

THQ, the company behind Saints Row: The Third, had a tough 2011. The company was in such dire straits that rumors floated around about it canceling its entire 2014 lineup, rumors the company vehemently denied. This morning we received word that THQ was shifting its strategies yet again, this time focusing more on its core franchises over third party licensing.

It’s hard to get a bead on exactly what’s happening with THQ. Rumors and sales indicate the company is in serious trouble despite the success of Saints Row, but the company refuses to admit that they have any sort of problem. Only one person seems to be willing to comment on the state of the company – an alleged former employee with an obvious bone to pick.

In a letter written to THQ’s Board of Directors, CEO Brian Farrell as well as the general public and a collection of gaming news sites, this “Formerly Mismanaged” employee rattles off a laundry lists of complaints about the company.

The letter essentially claims that THQ’s problems stem from mismanagement and a Board of Directors that has no clue how to strategically run a gaming company. It gives examples like acquiring game studios with no plan on how to utilize their talents (then later shutting them down), investing money into shrinking niche markets, the company’s refusal to dump a CEO that has tanked its stock price and high-paid executives making enormous mistakes that call their competency into question. The disastrous uDraw tablet also makes an appearance.

These allegations of management incompetency surface just a few days before THQ announces its current financial standing on February 2, and things certainly don’t look good. One analyst has gone on the record by stating that THQ, without some sort of financial windfall, with run out of cash near the middle of this year.

You can read the letter in its (extremely long) entirety below:

[JoyStiq]

"To:

THQ Board of Directors

Lawrence Burstein

James Whims, Gigex, Inc.

Henry DeNero, Arcturus Capital

Brian Dougherty, AirSet, Inc.

Jeffrey Griffiths , Lumber Liquidators

From:

Current and Ex-Employees, Shareholders, and The Public

Dear THQ Board,

I am an ex-employee at THQ. I saw the tweet-started headlines over the past week from an "industry expert." This expert is one who I and my friends and co-workers in the industry have never heard of after a long time in the field. I had been reading the various following articles and accounts and it generated sympathy for friends both recently laid off and currently still there. I thought it would be a good idea to send a note with their input. This note has honest facts and thoughts about THQ and the current problems there. Most of these facts are public knowledge and they have been confirmed by public records or can be confirmed by current and former THQ staff there both before and after my and their time.

I have long felt the need to explain to outsiders how this beaten-down company has wound up in this position. It is to the point where having it on your resume is not a point in your favor. And that shouldn't be the case. I'm/We're sending this note anonymously because some of us are still awaiting final checks and others know how little corporations like employees who air their dirty laundry. We feel the need to say something to combat the partial misinformation being written.

THQ had been known through the years for having a formula. They find a hot license, make a cheap game, barely advertise it, and make money. This formula worked during the Playstation and Xbox and Gameboy days and made the company a lot of cash. Unfortunately, THQ's old guard executives seem to be stuck trying to manage the company the same way they did back then and haven't realized the industry has changed.

The beginning of the end came years ago as Brian Farrell lead an executive team to acquire a large number of studios. A large amount of cash was used in the acquisition or setup of game developers with different degrees of talent. The problem was they were bought without strategic reasoning or specific plan on to use them. So after awhile another large amount of money was spent as those studios failed and were sold off and shut down. The executive team at the time were an entirely different group of people with one key exception in the CEO. The CEO/the then executive team wasted the cash that the company had built up with these massive investments and selloffs.

The studio purchase errors were not helped by the mistakes in the licensing deals that were signed by the same CEO. Millions and millions of dollars were wasted on acquiring licenses at the same time the kids, family, casual business was declining at a rapid rate. Instead of slowing those acquisitions he overpaid for more of them until again cash was wasted in paying for brands that didn't sell well anymore.

The mistakes in decisions and cash losses triggered wave after wave of layoffs. In the most recent wave, about 40 people lost their jobs this past December through no fault of their own. The reason why is the chronic and constant mismanagement of their company. The fact is that the CEO and executive committee were so focused on trying to hit an unrealistic financial goal that they bet everything on an extremely risky proposition in the uDraw tablet. When they lost, they further displayed their lack of management skills by not having a contingency plan. Three weeks after the game launched, an entire business unit was wiped out when it didn't meet its goal due to relying on that one product to hit an unrealistic target.

After the layoffs many ex-employees walked around shell-shocked and trying to figure out who was responsible. They came to the understanding that most of us do after leaving the company. The issue with THQ has never been one of lack of staff creativity, intellect or business intelligence. It all rests of the failure of its management team and you the Board of Directors.

This Board has allowed the Brian Farrell, the CEO, the ongoing ability to take a cash-rich profitable company and drive it from a $30 share price down to around $.70 without acting despite numerous mistakes that even for those lacking business training, could see were errors. Even without glaring mistakes how can the same CEO stay in charge after a 99% share price loss? Aside from the board, who is responsible for the current situation and who is accountable for the current and future job losses at the company? When you ask the recently departed who are a good source of information, you get the same answers. This uDraw failure is the largest and most recent one in a string of them that were hushed over and hidden. The answer aside from the Board is the current executive team that allowed this uDraw implosion to happen.

Brian Farrell, CEO with a 2011 salary of $1,289,558, for a lack of business intelligence or fiscal accountability. A vocal inside group pointed out the mistake of trying to launch a year-old product that received almost no software support in the last 12 months. Instead of listening and having a back-up plan, he went ahead and invested a ridiculous amount of money in the manufacturing and advertising of the product and failed miserably. It is passed time for him to go. We are wondering what is taking so long for you to act. We have been wondering this same question for a long time.

Martin Good, EVP and head of Kids, Family, Casual with a 2011 salary of $1,198,023, for bringing no strategic thought or business sense to the role. He was brought out from Australia sales to replace an outgoing head of the business unit and rapidly displayed a complete lack of leadership skills, vision, and any sort of analytical sense. Looking at his compensation package, he is an excellent negotiator as his salary is higher than anyone's except for the CEO. On the plus side he lost his job with the rest of those laid off. On the minus side, he will be floating down on a golden parachute while the rest of the former employees scramble to look for jobs in this challenging environment. Most of those jobs will be at studios in other parts of the country, so they will be forced to relocate their families in the middle of their childrens school years. It is incredible that he made this level of income while doing such a poor job, but it serves as a reflection of the lack of Brian Farrell's ability to staff well and manage.

Paul Pucino, CFO with a 2011 salary of $674,855, for not planning for this possibility and having a safety net or a plan to cover THQ just in case of failure. We have a line of credit that we likely used to buy the plastic that is not selling to customers. It is like taking a cash advance to buy THQ stock and just as worthless of an investment. Paul is known as an absentee executive who is missing when business situations gets complicated. While he was in the loop at the point of the risk, with the following failure he has been clearly unavailable. It is another example of Brian Farrell's inability to staff.

Ian Curran, EVP and head of global publishing with a 2011 salary of $1,037,047, for not flagging an unrealistic sales goal to the CEO or the Board when a big part of the corporation felt the numbers were unrealistic. He blindly held up an unachievable target and didn't act when multiple people told him he was aiming to high and out of step with the marketplace. If a sales executive's job is to anticipate the market, he has done a poor job of it. Another example of Brian Farrell not being able to find the right people for the right job.

Ed Kauffman, EVP of Legal and Business Affairs who clearly was signing bad deals on licensed products, not factoring in the changes in the business and being more critical with financial terms with partners. uDraw by itself cannot possibly explain the companies poor financial health. It is a combination of that product and a string of bad licensed deals that the company took on against better judgement. While Brain Farrell would logically be the final decisionmaker for deals, Kauffman is either unpersuasive in his arguments to not do them or supported them. Either situation equates to another example of poor staffing choices by the CEO.

uDraw was failure and the only people to blame are the people listed above. THQ and its current financial situation is also their responsibility. And they were paid around $4.5 million dollars for their poor decisions. If there is any doubt we would recommend talking to current and former staff to get the straight story. Don't read this note as bitterness on their part, but more as long overdue truth.

So, Board, it is time. Passed time for you to act and passed time for you to do something about the mismanagement that has gone on for too many years. We've watched the stock from the outside and read the comments and the reason why the company is valued so low despite its sales is because of this underqualified management team.

Board it is time for you to act before your names are added to the list above of things that must change.

Sincerely,

The Formerly Mismanaged"

THQ hasn’t been doing great over the last few months, and this nasty letter from a former employee doesn’t make things look any better.

On Shelves this Week: January 1 – January 7 2012

Posted Dec 29, 2011 at 12:02PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: bastion, deus ex, guild wars, Portal, skyrim

Here they come: the very first games of the new year. Find out what’s coming in this week’s “On Shelves.”

Well, the holidays are officially over. New Year’s is just a couple of days away, and its passing marks the end of one of the most incredible years in the history of gaming. 2011 gave us Skyrim, Portal 2, Deus Ex and Bastion, not to mention countless other brilliant games.

2011 is almost behind us now, but we’re still in that dead zone between Christmas and NYE. Which means, unfortunately, that there isn’t much happening in the world of game releases.

Here’s what you can expect to see launching this week:

Guild Wars Complete Collection

ESRB Teen

NCSoft

That’s it. Most gaming companies aren’t in a hurry to release a game during this holiday vacuum, so we won’t be seeing a return to the regular launch schedule until the middle of the month.

In the meantime, this week is an excellent week for catching up on other games, or sinking even more hours into Skyrim.

How are you spending your dead zone week?

Here they come: the very first games of the new year. Find out what’s coming in this week’s “On Shelves.”

Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition Announced

Posted Nov 18, 2011 at 3:11PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: BioWare, mass effect 3

Commander Shepard’s last hurrah has the bonuses to match in this special edition of the game.

Hey, do you like Mass Effect? If so, you’re probably excited about the next entry in the franchise, Mass Effect 3. And if you needed reason to be a little more excited, why, we have just the thing for you. It’s the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition, and it comes with all the accoutrements you’ve come to expect from slightly larger boxes that contain video games and other stuff.

Check it out:

The pack only runs $79.99, which is pretty fair considering some of the other CE nonsense we’ve seen in recent months (Skyrim, I’m looking at you). For an extra $20, here’s what you can expect to find in your ME3 box, straight from Bioware:

• Premium metal case featuring commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard.

• 70-page hardbound art book featuring hundreds of unique and gorgeous illustrations from the BioWare development team.

• Limited edition Mass Effect comic by Dark Horse Comics, complete with unique cover artwork.

• Join the ranks of the N7 with the premium fabric N7 patch.

• Exclusive 4x6 lithographic print featuring a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.

• A full collection of in-game content that can’t be found anywhere else!

• N7 Arsenal Pack – Bring the firepower with the N7 Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, SMG, and Pistol.

• Robotic Dog – A faithful sidekick to keep you company on board the Normandy.

• Squadmate Alternate Outfit Pack – New appearances for your favorite squad members.

• N7 Hoodie – For Commander Shepard’s casual days on board the Normandy.

• Relive all the greatest moments of Mass Effect 3 with the digital soundtrack.

• Xbox LIVE Normandy prop for your Avatar. (Available on Xbox 360 version only.)

• Display your initiation in the N7 ranks with a collection of forum and social badges, avatars, and perks

Bioware says the CE is “limited supply,” but we’ve all seen how that usually plays out. Still, if you want to pick up the game and the extras are your type of thing, you may as well reserve it.

I am!

Ico & Shadow of the Colossus launch trailer

Posted Sep 27, 2011 at 1:55AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: ico & shadow of the colossus, Sony

Fans awaiting ICO & Shadow of the Colossus have got a huge treat in store for them today as Sony released the official launch trailer for it.

That's not the most important bit about today, though. The game itself actually came out today. The video here should only augment for the excitement that you will encounter in playing the game. It runs for a minute and a half, simply dishing out the stories for both games.

Meanwhile, Sony will also be giving out bonus content for the game, which essentially provides an insider's look at what went on behind the development of ICO & Shadow of the Colossus.

Anyway, it's better if you go enjoy the video now, and hopefully you've picked up the game as well so you can enjoy that as well.

They did not divulge the title of the new Dragon Ball game, but they did say that the project is already in the works.

They also marked the expected release date for it in Autumn of this year. If that's the case, then we could very well expect more details to trickle out in the coming weeks.

Kojima Prod talks the 're-imagining' of MGS 1 in HD

Posted Jun 10, 2011 at 9:08PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, Wii U, PS3 Tags: Kojima Productions, metal gear solid

We just might be seeing Metal Gear Solid 1 in HD in the future, thanks to Kojima Productions' desire to make it so. Creative producer Yoshikazu Matsuhana declared this, speaking with Eurogamer at E3 earlier this week.

The original title of the classic franchise did not make it to the cut of the HD collection coming out later, and the producer explained that it was because game one is just too old.

"Obviously, we wanted to include it and make it a complete collection," he said. "However, as you know, Metal Gear Solid 1 was for the PSone. It has a very, very low polygon count."

He furthered, "While at the time the game was something new and refreshing, just bringing it as is into HD probably wouldn't have that much meaning to us. We're doing two and three with a certain work flow where the goal is to take that game, preserve it and introduce it to a new generation. We can't really take that approach with Metal Gear Solid 1 because it's very dated at this point."

The limitations may be keeping them from fully embarking on an HD-fication of MGS1 right onw, but he reassures that they would want to get it done at some point in time.

"If we were going to do Metal Gear Solid 1 we'd want to take more time with it. Not just up-res the textures, not just make things look pretty and polished, but go back and tweak some of the gameplay, tweak the story to update things and do it properly. Not just a re-master but a re-imagining almost.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was recently confirmed for the PS3 and Xbox 360, which is set to include the HD versions of MGS 2, 3 and Peace Walker. The other MGS title waiting in the wings is Rising, and Kojima is promising "big news" on it come Winter.

Via [Eurogamer]

"We do want to do that sometime down the road but it will take more time. It's not something we're looking at doing right now."
