Sumner Redstone's group sold out their 87 percent stake in Midway. Midway then became obligated to buy back $150M in notes.
Potentially sad. Let's hope another one doesn't bite the dust.

I'm trying to think of anything Midway's done in the last 5-6 years that was honestly good. I'd like to be sad that a game publisher is dying, and it sucks that another large chunk of game developers will be jobless soon, but I can't think of a single reason why I'd notice when Midway isn't there any more.

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks was pretty good.
Psi-ops was pretty awesome.
They have enough big IPs that I think they'd be a good buy, but then it's probably a buyers market right now. No one's feeling investy.
Loved the Hitz series.
Loved Blitz before they moved it off the N64/PS1/Dreamcast.
Other than those two, I don't think I own any 2000-and-beyond Midway games.
They've got some strong brand names, though, so surely someone will pick those up.
As a publisher, Unreal Tournament 3 and Stranglehold.Quote:

Enough for them to announce another MK game. Who knows what the status of that is now.Quote:
