Midway Games Files For Chapter 11 - NefCanuck - 02-16-2009 Man, and here I thought Midway was raking in the cash with their recent titles (MK vs. DC Universe is a hot seller) EA Games are the 1,000lb gorilla in the room though and that's not always a good thing (witness their lockup of the NFL rights and what happened to their competitors as a result) NefCanuck Midway Games Files For Chapter 11 - Canadian ST - 02-16-2009 ANTHONYD,Feb 16 2009, 12:25 AM Wrote:Don't forget Rockstar. True, can't forget the GTA series. Midway Games Files For Chapter 11 - darkpuppet - 02-17-2009 EA is in bigger trouble than people think. Sales of annual sports game updates has started falling flat over the years due to franchise overload... and some of their best games of the year (read: Dead Space) didn't do as well as they should. So there you have it. The more IPs a company holds, the more risk they have in their portfolio. They'd be better off if they were a smaller company with one or two good IPs to manage. I'm sure there'll be more layoffs in the industry and closures to compliment the half dozen or so that have folded recently.

Time to dig up the old Atari 2600 grab a beer and play some Defender. Laterz :) Midway Games Files For Chapter 11 - euro_zx5 - 02-22-2009 Geez... they're the veterans that shouldn't go down. Oh and Vault (L4D)... along with Atari/Epic (Unreal series) |
