THQ CEO Brain Farrell believes the “heavy lifting” is done, noting that “the last six months have been an exercise in great pain and suffering”.
“We feel like we’re getting there,” Farrell added. “We’ve taken a lot of negative things in the press – and frankly a lot of that was deserved. This company has changed. We have strong, new leadership. Look at our fourth quarter earnings. … It’s starting to come together.”
However, the publisher remains vulnerable and can’t afford to make any more mistakes.
“We don’t have a lot of room to run, so we’ve got to execute flawlessly,” he said.
And Farrell takes full responsibility for THQ’s current situation.
“There is no question who is responsible for where THQ is right now. That’s with me,” he said. “That said I feel equally responsible for getting this company out of it.”
“When I first took this company over and in other times in our 21-year history, we’ve been in some tough spots with some angry shareholders and angry employees. I understand. I don’t like it either,” said Farrell. “I’m a shareholder. But I feel responsible to fix it. And I’m committed to do it until I’m relieved of my duties.
“That’s the way I’m built and I’m going to keep pushing forward to get this company to where it needs to be. That’s the mission and I think the actions speak for themselves. I think the path we’re on right now is a good one. I don’t expect any one to believe that until we do it – but my intention is to do it.”
