In lieu of the recent announcement of over $30 million in losses this past quarter, THQ has revealed its plan to terminate 200 jobs within its internal studios. Gamasutra reports that CEO Brian Farrell justified the announcement by clarifying the 200 jobless workers focused primarily on "last gen" platforms like the PS2 and plans to add about 300 new employees this fiscal year to studios working on "key products."
To prevent future layoffs, CFO Colin Slade promises THQ will institute a four-stage "greenlight" process to ensure better quality from the publisher's titles. We'd recommend giving the keys to Relic and let them drive anything named Company of Heroes or Dawn of War through the front gates.
