One of those milestones has been met by selling the publishing and distribution for Wheelman to Ubisoft. But Midway is also offering bonuses if they can sell off the Mortal Kombat franchise or submit plans to reorganize or even liquidate Midway. If all the milestones are met, Midway's lucky 29 employees will share in a total bonus package of $3,755,000. We wonder how the rest of Midway's employees and the company's creditors feel about that. Oh, and Variety reports that an unnamed game designer for Midway (who is almost certainly Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon) is getting slightly over $1 milliion in bonuses for the past six months.

Easy to be ticked off by outgoing bonuses if you're a creditor to a bankrupt company...but Boon and the MK team have been the only thing between Midway and bankruptcy for going on ten years. If Ed has a combo move for "add gold to parachute," I say, "flawless victory!"
I read you loud and clear man,
