Note: This shouldn't mess with the releases of DoW3 or Dark Millenium. All three of the studios working on those projects are safe.

That sucks for the people being laid off. THQ has dropped the ball on to many things.

Dawn of War is a cash cow for THQ so it'll continue. However they cannot afford to make any more mistakes

The Warhammer IP is like the Star Wars IP, so many disappointments for us fans

I like the look and feel of dow2, but the lack of scale like dow1 dissapointed me. But I heard that in dow3 it'll return!

Dude, I hope that THQ can bounce back from this, because theyve done a good job on the 40k games, the first Dawn of War still brings back good memories.:rolleyes:
