THQ Shovels Out Its Shovelware Division

Continuing an internal reorganization that has seen casual titles tossed out in favor of a focus on more core video gaming titles, THQ has jettisoned its ValuSoft division. ValuSoft, per its name, was the publisher’s ā€œvalueā€ label, which is a polite term for shovelware that grandmas bought from Walmart for their disappointed grandkids.

Another budget software company, Cosmi, picked up ValuSoft, reports MCV. THQ had acquired ValuSoft about a decade ago. With the acquisition, Cosmi, said MCV, now claims to be the second largest publisher for the PC platform in North America.

In a statement, THQ chief Brian Farrell said that, following the sell off ā€œour internal resources are now focused on our core video game portfolio where we can drive the highest quality performance and execution for our games.ā€
