THQ Nordic AB, the parent company of THQ Nordic GmbH, which caused one of the shocking events of last week by performing an AMA (ask me anything) at 8chan, had to say something.

We wrote about the situation last week, but in short, Phillip Brock, the PR boss of THQ Nordic GmbH, apologized for the mistake he made, but he still made some questionable things on the barely moderated (and not in Google’s search engine) website.

Now, Lars Wingefors, the THQ Nordic Group’s CEO, had to grab a keyboard – his message follows: „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.

As Co-Founder and Group CEO of THQ Nordic AB, I take full responsibility for all of THQ Nordic GmbH’s actions and communications. I have spent the past several days conducting an internal investigation into this matter. I assure you that every member of the organization has learned from this past week’s events. I take this matter very seriously and we will take appropriate action to make sure we have the right policies and systems in place to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

As a Swedish based, fast-growing group, we firmly support equality and diversity. We are also working actively to combat discrimination, harassment, and misconduct. We are already in the process of developing new work processes, based on the United Nations’ SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and using the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standards, and we will accelerate this work going forward.”
