Duke Nukem Forever nearly killed 3D Realms and destroyed George Broussard's reputation without even being made, or more accurately, by not being made.In terms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some fans remain cautiously-optimistic for an eventual reboot that ignores the show entirely, given Kevin Feige's interest in bringing Kamala Khan into the setting, the increasing importance of the Kree to the MCU, and the inevitable Fantastic Four reboot potentially opening the door for Inhumans, but such hopes seem like a pipe-dream in the immediate aftermath of the failure of the television series. Marvel and Moon Girl seem to be surviving well enough, though, owing to them being at best distant from the series. They'd been on pretty rocky ground beforehand, seen as a Creator's Pet and Replacement Scrappy, but it was at this point that Marvel basically gave up on their plans of turning them into a franchise to rival the lost Mutants, and titles started dropping across the board, culminating in a story literally entitled Death of the Inhumans (although most of the deaths in that series were of secondary characters). Franchise Killer: The double bill of the TV show bombing and Disney buying 20th Century Fox (and therefore the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights) turned the comics version into a complete punchline.Franchise Killer: The show's cancellation due to its Troubled Production caused the end of the era of this Schneiderverse that dates back to The Amanda Show and includes Drake & Josh and Zoey 101, and even arguably all the way back to All That (all of the shows were connected by at least one recurring actor or actress).I have a couple of examples related to the ones cut from the actual trope page. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself. Nordic Games bought the THQ label in June 2014, allowing Nordic to publish games with the THQ branding they soon after renamed themselves to THQ Nordic.Įdited by gjjones on Dec 19th 2020 at 11:41:41 AM The company tried to stay afloat by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but THQ's restructuring plan was rejected by a bankruptcy court, effectively dissolving the publisher and causing its properties to be auctioned off. The last straw came with Darksiders II, which sold only 1.4 million copies and failed to turn a profit for THQ. Further hitting the company hard was the decline both the children's gaming and Licensed Game market, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship video game rights being sold to Electronic Arts. These versions were poorly received and abysmal sales caused their net income to plummet.
THQ's own fall into bankruptcy started with the uDraw GameTablet accessory, which was developed for the Wii and released in 2010 to modest success, leading to an "HD" version of it being brought to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 a year later.
One of the factors was the studio's position in Manhattan radically driving up the cost to keep it open.
