Why is THQ failing so hard? Is it simply because of how poorly the company was run for decades beginning with the Nintendo era where they foisted tons of licensed crap games on kids? I know I still kind of have negative associations with the THQ brand, even though I know for a fact that they've been releasing very good games for more than a decade now.

Is it just a matter of spending too much money on games like Saints Row that are huge money losers?

It's a shame if Saint's Row is losing them money. The Third one is actually pretty great. I thought it was a lot more fun than Grand Theft Auto 4.
