Studio closures have become far too common in the gaming industry, with a couple more falling victim in the last week.

After auctioning off assets over the last 24 hours, game publisher THQ has now officially closed its doors.

Joe Madureira, the co-founder of Vigil Games, announced his resignation from the company today.

THQ is heavily investing in the upcoming Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online MMO.
