Indeed. It's hilarious that they point out readily MKvsDC is selling so strong when many people that own it are crying about the game's unbalance and the unfulfilled hints of DLC.I think I remember reading somewhere Ed Boon's considering starting his own company in the event that Midway goes down, but to my knowledge that's most likely just rumor.

They were a big part of my childhood. Going to the arcades and playing Mortal Kombat II, NBA Jam and San Francisco Rush.

Sounds to me like they will have a tough time getting chapter 11.I mean it's hard to tell stock holders to go fuck themselves after they bragged about MKVSDC.Midway is not done, it's just trying to rob people.
Kotaku ahd an article on how big is midway's debt, I guess they will be forced to sell all their franchises so that they can pay a few guys.
Frederica Bernkastel~ said, February 13, 2009, 04:42:10 pmTell me a good game midway made in the last 4 years.Well aside from the bargain bin crap they have made the only midway game I appreciated was san fran rush. However it was a psuedo clone of crusin' usa and the only original thing was the hidden shortcuts.Hmmm, guess it wasn't that good either. Also wasn't from the last four years. Bummer.Graham Aker said, February 13, 2009, 01:38:58 pmAnd nothing of value was lost. I have this irking feeling that something even shitter would take midways place. Midway catered to the american game players and it is destined that someone would hold that mantle once they are gone.

Shin Orochi said, February 18, 2009, 01:42:17 amBecause if you remove MK from the equation there has been nothing else notable.yeah, I don't consider MK a good game, just a notable one, mostly because the american-mortal kombat style makes it pretty unique regardless of how good or entertaining the games are.
I actually liked the game series (the ones I played, at least). At the very least MK 2 holds my attention more than SF2.
but like all game series...the time is the ultimeted bossSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltybtw you cant win
