I hope that if THQ does go bye bye that WWE doesn't look for a new company to publish its games anytime too soon Honestly, it would surprise me if they aren't looking around already. Worse case scenario, WWE tries to create the games themselves, which one would think would turn into a giant mess. This sucks all around, since I'm one of the few who still likes THQ. I'm still pissed abput Red Faction, though.

THQ's Spongebob games were terrible as well and so was a majority of THQ's catoloque before they made the N64 WCW games (except for Nitro on the N64 that is)

I hope THQ stays afloat, if only because starting all over with a new developer and losing basically all of the current features does not sound appealing to me.

IF THQ goes under and WWE goes with a different publisher, that DOES NOT have to mean Yukes doesn't continue being developers.

When they really clamped down they could make very fun/memorable games, but I'd be blind to not admit they brought this upon themselves. And like Lizuka said a new company probably means starting over from scratch, which gives us basically a shiny version of the early era Smackdown games. Truth be told, I'm worried that if someone else gets the license, that the CAW mode would be dropped completely. Irrational fear no doubt, but I can really see it happening.

I really doubt it'd be dropped, since it's such a stable of the genre and the license would most likely wind up in the hands of EA who tend to have something along that line for each of their games anyway. I could see it taking a major step back, though.

I've asked and asked, and nobody cares, so let's cut the crap and get to it. I'm 3 downloads of my Bryan's Bad Day story away from getting the Platinum trophy. Just 3.Just search for Daniel Bryan. Play it, delete it, add to it, copy it, I don't care. Just download it! Wait until the servers let you on and download it. You need something downloaded on PS3? I'll be glad to do it. Hell, I'll do it twice for good measure.
I want that Platinum, dammit, and by God, you people WILL help me get it or I will burn this place to the ground. Get me my trophy or this place will be your tomb!

Don't know what THQ was thinking with this particular set up, given Community Creations is garbage anyway and it's really hard to get anything noticed. Plus the achievement seems to be kind of glitched anyway, since it took a few times of connecting after I reached it for it to register.

I could see it taking a major step back, though. Very true. That fear mostly comes from the rumor a few years ago that the WWE wanted that mode dropped, which I can imagine was bullshit. But it's also not too hard to imagine Vince wanting that kind of control over his virtual products. Also, as jagilki pointed out, the franchise switching to a new publisher doesn't mean that Yukes won't be involved but they don't seem too enthusiastic about the franchise anymore (though that too could be a product if THQ's issues). Also (completely off topic): What was the last wrestling game Yukes released in Japan? It's been awhile hasn't it?

Speaking of that, I've been trying to find and download your Zelda arena forevah. Guessing the servers haven't been of help there. Best I can suggest would be searching for something I'm pretty much the only person doing stuff with, like FLCL or Misfile, and then going to the content by the creator thing. Most downloaded thing personally is a Super Mario Bros. arena. At around I think 170 or so.

So WWE don't want its fans to be making their very own wrestlers? *shakes head*

Honestly, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they use their botchingof this year's entry as an excuse to drop CAW in WWE 13! WWE's been looking for a reason to get rid of it, and, now that modders, sorry, hackers ( ) are making wrestlers that look better that some of the in-game models, THQ would probably have no problem jettisoning the mode, probably using the bogus excuse of "Oh, CAW didn't work well with the online, so we had to make the hard decision to remove it. We tried to make it work, WWE wanted this, blah blah blah." It may sound far-fetched, but with all the issues that have popped up, I won't be shocked. They probably figure they've lost the hardcore crowd, they'll try to make a game for casual WWE Fans only and cut some corners

Ledesma is asking Twitter if we want a Tebow taunt for WWE 13.
Urgh.
