Update 03/04/2019: THQ Nordic AB, the parent company of THQ Nordic GmbH, has now offered its apologies following last week’s 8Chan AMA debacle.
Per GamesIndustry, company co-founder and CEO Lars Wingefors has written an open letter to employees, partners and consumers, apologising for the decision and explaining that an internal investigation has been taking place.
It’s unclear from the letter if those involved have faced consequences. Here’s Wingefors’ apology in full:
“This letter is to offer my sincerest apologies and regret for THQ Nordic GmbH Vienna’s interaction with the controversial website 8chan last Tuesday, February 26. I condemn all unethical content this website stands for. Even if no one within the THQ Nordic Group would ever endorse such content, I realize simply appearing there gave an implicit impression that we did.
