The Federal Fut coins Trade Commission http://www.fifacoinsltd.com/ has scolded the industry in the past for marketing M-rated games to children, so publishers don't--or aren't supposed to, at least--place their ads for adult games in media or locations targeted at children. While those problems are common to all third-party publishers, THQ has a few risk factors that loom particularly large, specifically its reliance on licensed product.
As mentioned in the article linked above, THQ gets more than 50 percent of its sales from games based on Pixar, WWE, and Nickelodeon.The company has tried in recent years to grow its business based on wholly owned intellectual properties, but results have been mixed. Saints Row was a big hit for THQ, while efforts like Stuntman: Ignition and Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights underperformed so badly that the publisher shelved the franchises entirely.
