Your argument only holds water in the situation where THQ had a clearly outlined path back to profitability, which they don't. This default isn't a temporary setback - it's a symptom of further underlying issues. Without even a current accounts surplus on the horizon (much less an overall profit), it's only a matter of time before the sharks start to circle (if they haven't already).

Interesting. I wasn't aware I had made an argument. Not that I don't get accused of that every time I (or anybody else) posts here...

Actually, what I stated was that they are effectively one step away from bankruptcy. Everybody involved (THQ, Wells Fargo) are well aware of that - as I said, it did not come as a surprise. Therefore my statement that companies default all the time only suggests that news of such a default is absolutely meaningless with regard to whether or not they are going bankrupt, rather it is the particular company's circumstances that give the honest appraisal. Everybody is making the best of a bad situation by stringing it out, and if you want me to fall back to my original post's analogy, like the Byzantine Empire.
