Australia has a notoriously draconian ratings system for video games, with some games getting banned outright. It's so bad, in fact, that Telltale Games can't sneak their zombies into the mix.

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.

EA Offers $100 Car in Need for Speed World

Posted Dec 16, 2011 at 3:01PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: dlc car, EA, need for speed

Yes, you read that right. $100 for a pretend car. But it’s a really nice pretend car.

EA has really been on a roll over the last few weeks when it comes to being a bunch of money-grubbing jerks. First, they add a subscription fee to their Tetris app, then they have the gall to charge people $60 for a Theme Park rollercoaster. Now, it looks like they’ve managed to one-up even themselves, by offering a $100 premium car in the currently free-to-play racing MMO, Need for Speed World.

Sure, it makes sense that some cars would cost money. The game is F2P, after all, and EA has to make some cash somewhere to keep the game profitable. But charging people more for one car than they’d pay for a brand new AAA title sure doesn’t seem like a good move. Some morons will probably buy one, but overall it isn’t a great approach from a community perspective.

The offending car, known as the Koenigsegg CCX "Elite" Edition, doesn’t seem to be that much better than any other car – in fact, every feature seems to be purely aesthetic. You’d basically be driving a sign that says, “I AM BAD WITH MONEY.” This is only the first of several such “premium” vehicles; most cars for NFS World are much more reasonably priced.

Part of me wants to be upset with EA’s audacity. However, it’s not like they’re forcing anyone to buy a $100 car – if you end up purchasing this thing, it’s no one’s fault but your own. Plus, the $100 car is great from a marketing perspective; you get free advertising from all of the game news sites as they lose their mind over the price. Well played, EA.

Would you spend $100 on a digital car?

[NFS World]

Yes, you read that right. $100 for a pretend car. But it’s a really nice pretend car.

GLaDOS Coming to Defense Grid

Posted Dec 7, 2011 at 5:17PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: defense grid, glados, Portal, valve

Portal’s memorable villain makes a cameo in the tower defense title’s upcoming expansion.

If you haven’t played Defense Grid, you should stop reading this now and go download it. Seriously, I’ll wait. Defense Grid is the perfect example of tower defense done right – just enough features to make puzzles challenging, but not so many to feel over-complicated. Trying to earn medals on the final levels of the game can be incredibly frustrating, but the game is brilliantly done and well worth the price.

Hidden Path, the company behind Defense Grid, has another reason for you to buy their game: The You Monster expansion, released to Xbox Live Arcade and Steam earlier today. This new story expansion comes complete with 35 new challenge missions and 8 new maps, plus a visit from a very special guest.

The company says that in addition to battling the familiar hordes of alien invaders from the original Defense Grid release, players will also have to face off with GLaDOS as she works to make your job all the more difficult. The game is available for 800 MS points, or $9.99 on Steam.

I’m not exactly sure how GLaDOS fits into the Defense Grid story, but I really hope they got Ellen McLain to record her voice. The voice acting in Defense Grid is pretty good, considering it’s just a little tower defense game, and GLaDOS just isn’t the same without the voice.

How do you feel about cross-game mash-ups like this one?

The World Just Exploded with Uncharted 3 Reviews

Posted Oct 24, 2011 at 12:44PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Harrison Ford, Naughty Dog, Sony, uncharted 3 reviews

Drake’s latest adventure just blew up all over my Twitter feed. Let’s find out what some of the major reviewers are saying about what could be the biggest PlayStation 3 title of the year.

As someone that has a general taste for Sony and the PlayStation brand, I have to admit that I’m a little jealous of Uncharted. The game looks amazing, the story is great, and as much as it pains me to say it, they did an excellent job on both of the games that have come out so far. So, nice work to the Naughty Dog team and congratulations to PS3 owners everywhere – you finally won one.

Anyway, Uncharted 3 has been sitting in the back of everyone’s mind even as Activision and EA ramp up their ridiculous war for the holiday season. Last week we saw a little bit of the game through Harrison Ford’s eyes, and the multiplayer beta (available only at Subway!) has generated a fair amount of buzz. Regardless of any perceived battle of the titans, Uncharted 3 is still holding a significant amount of attention from both the gaming media and fans of the brand.

I periodically check my Twitter (follow me! @Mikedotfoster) feed for breaking news updates when I’m writing, and the last update found my feed under siege with Uncharted 3 reviews. So let’s see what the preliminary response to the game has turned out to be:

Joystiq – 4.5 Stars

They loved the co-op mode, praised the game’s excellent storytelling and graphics, and essentially said the game was an inch away from perfection. They did note that a lot of the game’s greatness comes from re-using elements of Uncharted 2, but called this more of a positive than negative.

GameTrailers – 9.5 out of 10

Voice acting is praised and the script is noted as one of the game’s strongest elements. They noted a continued lack of flexibility from former titles, but fans of the game are probably used to this facet and consider it a plus. The game’s massive set pieces are mentioned as a major highlight, but the poor enemy AI draws some negative attention. Overall, they say the game “can’t be missed.”

IGN – 10 out of 10

IGN’s review could only be described as “gushing.” They even went so far as to call the game a “masterpiece,” focusing entirely on the massive set pieces and series of high-budget action sequences. IGN says that Uncharted 3 is one of “gaming’s finest moments,” but their review seems lacking on any technical analysis and focuses almost entirely on the emotional experiences of the player.

Ars Technica – (No Rating)

As with the other reviews, a strong focus is placed on the strong character development and impressive narrative. They do note that the game dances with believability a little bit, and that the combat system still feels pretty rough in certain situations. They also mention that the jumping puzzles are repetitive, but overall give the game high praise and consider it an achievement for Naughty Dog and the PS3.

EuroGamer – 8 out of 10

Calling the single-player campaign “peerless,” EuroGamer sings high praise about the game’s execution but pulls back their accolades by calling Uncharted 3 narrow and shallow. They note that fans of the franchise and cinema will be happy with this latest title, but shouldn’t expect too much in the way of risk-taking or flexibility.

Overall, it looks like Uncharted 3 is a strong buy. There’s no room to customize your experience and the story is apparently straight as an arrow, but the multiplayer seems to add replay value and the overall experience can’t be matched. A fitting new entry to one of the best PS3 franchises, and one that should keep fans happy for some time to come.

Are you picking up Uncharted 3 next week?
