You could own a piece of Midway . . . if the price is high enough


Several days ago Midway announced that it had gotten a bid of $33 million from Warner Bros. to sell off parts of their publishing company, including two development studios and the rights to the Mortal Kombat game license. Today Midway announced the schedule for the bidding process for all of their dev studios and IP rights.

Basically Midway will be taking bids until June 24 to acquire some or all of its remaining assets. That includes four development studios (Chicago, San Diego, Seattle and one in the UK) and the rights to Midway's considerable game library and the license to make games based on the TNA wrestling franchise. An auction will be held on June 29 to determine the final winner or winners and a court hearing to approve the sales will be made on July 1. If we had the money we would totally want to get the Psi-Ops franchise but that's just us.
