Whoa, did not see that coming. Is Midway worth 33 million?

Ive always rooted for Midway.  Hopefully they can figure out something so that they can come out on top here.

I just hope that if it happens, it works out well for the MK team.

When I red "(This is Vegas, The Suffering)," I red it as "This is Vegas this is Suffering" and then I thought that might not be such a bad game.

Well...Mortal Kombat's worth $30 million by itself, and I think the soda and candy machines in the other studios make up the rest of the $3 million.

Pfft. Ed Boon's eyebrows are insured for more money than that!

Hopefully Warner knows how to properly manage Midway better than Midway managed itself so best of luck to them. Midway has potential with their massive back catalog of arcade games and Mortal Kombat, but they just haven't been able to reach the same glory they had during the arcade days.

Hmmm Mortal Kombat is their only good IP as far as I(and most people) are concerned.

I think capcom would be a good fit for taking over Mortal Kombat, MK hasn't had any good games come out in the last half a decade.
I'm not much of a fan for fighting games, but if street fighter 4 is anything to take as an example, I think MK would be safe in capcoms hands.

The whole Midway situation is way too confusing.  So does Warner acquire Midway's debt now, or because of bankruptcy does that go somewhere else?  What happened to that guy who bought most of the company for dirt cheap?  It's easy to say that 'Mortal Kombat is worth that much' but really with the cost of developing games nowadays and the fact that Mortal Kombat is not the sure thing it once was...I don't know.

I want MK vs. SF Period

Woah hope they figure something out.

the video game market will get polluted with conglomerate owned developers... we will have the big and rich media back devs and the small and indy devs...  big film company and indy film company? schism time...

Hmmm, I wonder if this is related to the DC game making some capital. I thought it didn't do as well as they were hoping, and I doubt that Warner Brothers Interactive had much if anything to do with the game. But it still seems kinda too tight of a coincidence to really have popped up otherwise.

Bummer about Wheelman not being part of the deal, I kinda liked that game despite itself. Was kinda hoping to see more from that development group.

i think its time for Jeff to come to grips with what he already knows; wrestling games aren't that fun any more, and the sport(not game versions of it)of boxing is dead. He has realized the latter, and is clinging to nostalgia of the former. It's cool man, give it up.

They will probably try to roll them up into Warner Interactive. At least, that's what I think they would do.

Looks like their only taking the good parts of midway, which seems like a good move.

Regaurdless of how the games sell at the mo, just about everyone is aware of Mortal Kombat in some way (just like many people who never read a comic know about Superman and Batman, Scorpion and a few others have a similiar rep) so its worth buying up and reinvigorating. 

Vin Diesel in MK, now!

You know, Frank Zappa said it best after getting screwed by them in the 70's and if he were still around he would still be saying it. "Warner Bros. sucks."

Ah, Midway. Please don't die on me. It is comforting to see it still living, but I feel bad if this falls through.

MK vs. marvel vs. sf
