THQ publishing VP makes for the door

After a few choppy months, things seem to have leveled out for THQ, what with all the new game announcements and some solid releases on the horizon. But all that apparently wasn't enough to keep Scott Guthrie, executive VP of publishing for THQ, in his chair. Gutherie, charged with North American sales, distribution and marketing for the company, has left for an undisclosed opportunity.

It's maybe not a huge deal, but we like to take a moment to recognize anyone who helped get 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand into our trembling, grateful hands.
