Bottom line Nick gives the budget for THQ or any other development house. If you don't have a lot of resources or time for development you're gonna to get a shallow game that mostly draws on a show's gimmicks as the major selling point.

According to an article on it (I think it was in another thread), it's going to be along the lines of WoW.
I find that...frightening, as an Avatar MMO couldn't possibly be up in those ranks if made by THQ right? Well, not impossible to do, but hard to expect something that great to come out.
Besides, I really hope they're not making us pay-to-play, and like mentioned before (by both me and Attonibus) microtransactions would be alot better.

THQ is it own company...how dose Nick give it a budget?
just to state that my argument is that some how at the end it Nick fault because what...Viacom dosen't own or control THQ and THQ budget comes from the sells of video games.
So how the Avatar MMORPG game turn's out is depended upon how THQ make it...not Nick.

I think THQ even has to pay Nick for merchandise rights. Then again, Nick is supposed to be promoting it, so that comes out of their pay?

It all depends on how Nick and THQ would negotiate the contract. It would be Nick hiring THQ to make the game or it could be a more co owned item where they share profit based on performance.
Remember though Nick controls the brand and probably has final approval on what can and can not be in game.

If it is free, Ill get it. If not, Im not going to, simple as that. I do like seeing the ability to play as both characters in the series and characters you create. Playing as Toph or Aang would be pretty cool.

When I showed this to my brother he was so excited!
It hought to it would be like WOW, but when I showed my friend he said no. I have no intelligence when it comes to video games, so I'd tend to believe him, but now that someone else said they saw it somewhere....................
I personally just can't wait to see it! I may not play video games, but I love to watch them being played. I'm a bit strange. I just get too frustrated and don't understand what buttons do what, so it's more fun for me to watch thant to get pi$$ed over a sily game!
But this sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to see it being played.

THQ has a 10 year contract with nick making it so they're the only producer of official nick games, so yea. I place the blame solely on Nick for limiting their options to such a point.

THQ, just like EA and Activision, is absolutely worthless as a developer, and any deal that would give them control in any way besides marketing and production is guaranteed to give you a s**t game. They can publish great games, Frontlines, Dawn of War and Saint's Row were all amazing, but they were developed by actual, legitimate companies.
So I blame Nickelodeon for hunting down the cheapest and fastest way to make a quick buck by preying on 6 year old children and their grandmothers.

You know it could be the other way around like the EA going after NFL.
It works both way and for licensing agreements...So where the anger for Disney-Pixar...after all it also with THQ.

Sounds like fun to me.
I doubt you'll be able to play main characters like Aang, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Zuko, etc. There can't be like 1000 Aangs running around...?
EDIT: Well ok maybe, it just sounds a bit odd.
