THQ and WWE in Partnership Through 2017

According to Ripten, THQ and WWE are partnered through 2017. The bigger question is, will THQ be around long enough to fulfill it.

Quote:
We are extremely pleased with our relationship with the WWE, and have an exclusive license for the brand through 2017. Our recent videogame cover reveal for WWE ’13 on Monday Night Raw airing May 28, as well as WWE Superstar Sheamus’ recent appearance at E3 showcase examples of how well we are working collaboratively with the WWE.
Platform: Xbox 360 / PS3

EXCLUSIVE LICENSE! WHAT! BOO! RANT! EVIL!

Figured I'd just get that out of the way. Hoping to see continued improvement in the series, it's all they have left now.

How is this great news for wrestling fans? The WWE games haven't been very good for a while now.

Meh. I was kind of looking forward to seeing what a different company could do with WWE.

Why? Because you are buddies with the devs? Serious question.

Agreed. I bought WWE '12 on release day and after playing through the RtW mode and getting a few achievements, I shelved it. I haven't played the game in over 6 months.

Exactly. The game got very stale after two weeks. Other sports games have no problem getting me to play them for several months on end, like The Show or NBA2K, etc. etc.

No because I want a yearly wrestling game. If it goes to another company you are looking at minimum of 2 years. If its EA, then we know what that means. Has nothing to do with who I know. Most of my buddies from THQ are long gone, if not all of them.

Respectfully, I disagree. Not many modes have the ambition of Universe Mode, and gameplay (especially CPU v CPU) was great in '12. Could it use some competition? Sure. But I don't think THQ has done a poor job with the series at all.

I agree I enjoy a yearly release of a wrestling game and a year without one would be different because of the constant change of the roster.
