WWE sues THQ over improper sales

According to a statement released today by THQ, World Wrestling Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the company on October 12 in Connecticut state court.

The complaints stem from a claim previously reported in Securities and Exchange Commission filings concerning allegedly improper sales of WWE video games in Japan and other countries in Asia. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, a declaration that the WWE is entitled to terminate the video game license and monetary damages.

THQ said in a statement that they "believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend [themselves] vigorously."

It's hard to imagine the WWE wanting to sever the THQ wrestling agreement. The series sells quite well and the games are generally well-reviewed. It's almost like the NFL saying "You know what, EA? We think we're getting a raw deal on this Madden thing. We want out!"

This is huge for wwe gamming, we all know that THQ is the mass provider of wwe games, I hope this dosent impact the future of WWE games. Thoughts.....

Uh ohs....this may make Smackdown Vs. Raw 07 on 360 the only next-gen WWE game of it's kind. Let's hope this can all be settled amicably, I'd hate to see the games go back to acclaim. *shudders at the thought of a new age Warzone*

Indeed. I know alotta people complain about how THQ always let's the people down but the fact of the matter is they are good games and compared to games of the past they are great. God forbid Midway, or some company try and take over because IMO it would suck.
