Big rumor in circulation here. Apparently THQ is being looked at as a possible target for a variety of companies including the one and only Electronic Arts.

<blockquote>I usually ignore takeover rumors because 99.9% of the time, they're 100% false. However, I'm giving some credence to today's gossip -- that video-game software publisher THQ (THQI) is being looked at as a target for media companies, including Electronic Arts (ERTS), Time Warner (TWX), and News Corp. (NWS). The stock is up sharply on heavy volume, and options-traders are busy scooping up calls.

I love Relic games, the rest of THQ I wouldn't even miss. Homeworld, Dawn of War and Company of Heroes are some of my favorites.

That would be a cheeky way to try and get around the UFC issue for EA's mma game maybe.

In the past EA has been the destroyer of what it bought but seems a bit different in recent years as Burnout has not suffered from the buyout so far.
