Midway Files for Bankruptcy
The economy being what it is right now, it comes as little surprise that some of the less-well-off developers and publishers in the gaming industry are going to go under. Midway has been struggling for years (can you remember a Midway game you loved in the past while?), so again, this isn’t surprising.
The long-struggling publisher of Mortal Kombat filed for bankruptcy this morning, calling it a difficult but necessary decision.
The voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 effects all of its U.S. subsidiaries, but none of its international ones.
