Bilson proud of portfolio his team built "under duress" at THQ
Former EVP of core games at THQ, Danny Bilson, recounts his time at the now extinct publisher, saying it was "brilliant at what it did" from 1991 to 2007 making a fortune for themselves and investors.
There were "legacy issues" which plagued the company, slowing them down. They went from casual and licensed titles to AAA but were "shutting studios the whole time," says Bilson.

Darksiders developer Vigil Games has become Crytek USA, but Crytek boss Cevat Yerli was as equally shocked as the rest of us that no one actually put forward a bid during the THQ auction.
Crytek didn't bid at the time because of "too many unknowns," and that their current projects "weren't strategically fit" for the German studio. A single meeting led to Crytek USA being formed.
