If you have a *nix system, what about just using a simple BASH approach?
for FILE in *.tsv; do
cut -f3 $FILE > $FILE.temp # use -d option if not tab-delimited
done
paste *.temp > final.tsv
rm *.temp
This code puts the third column of each file into temp files and them pastes them all together into a final file.
Based on one of your other posts, I suspect that you might want to also have the first column of one of the files in the final file. Also, it seems reasonable to label each of the columns with the file name, at least. The code below should accomplish both of these objectives.
for FILE in *.tsv; do
echo $FILE > $FILE.temp
cut -f3 $FILE >> $FILE.temp
done
echo Gene_IDs > gene-ids.tsv
cut -f1 one-of-the-files.tsv >> gene-ids.tsv
paste gene-ids.tsv *.temp > final.tsv
rm *.temp
