Midway receives delisting notice from NYSE
by Alexander Sliwinski 
{ Nov 21st 2008 at 9:45AM }
NYSE states that Midway needs a closing price of at least $1 over 30 consecutive days -- the stock is currently trading at about 25¢. According to NYSE rules, the publisher has six months to save itself from delisting. At this time, the house of Booty has its financial future pinned on the performance of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and Wheelman. Do you have the heart to tell Midway how this will end?

"Stupid horse!!!"
Man I cried like a baby when Artex died. Then again, I think I was 4 when that movie came out, so I practically was a baby.

I will buy MK vs DC if that means helping to keep Midway/competition alive.

Not sure what all the boo-hooing is about, Midway has long stopped being a decent contributor of good games to the industry. It really is a miracle that they are still around, nobody wants to buy them out because of the huge amount of debt they will accrue in doing so. Its way better and cheaper to let the company fold and then pick the IPs out of the ashes.
Midway pumps out low quality games on tight schedules with over estimated budgets, and they sell all of their games poorly. They will never get anything right until they fix their internal structure, (old guys pulling the strings that still think its 1991) and that will never happen.

I've seen how this movie ends...the horse is fine.
Wayne @ Nov 21st 2008 1:40PM
That horse died in real life because the lift he was on failed. Atreyu's tears were real, man.
J.Goodwin @ Nov 21st 2008 10:14AM
Apparently Midway is the new Atreyu.
Shattercross @ Nov 21st 2008 10:35AM
I lol'ed...
they should really take the bull by the horns...*snicker*
ninjafetus @ Nov 22nd 2008 12:57AM
The horse is Artex. The hero is Atreyu.
Anam @ Nov 21st 2008 10:14AM
I need to see that movie again.
Sean @ Nov 21st 2008 12:17PM

Goddamn, T broke a combo so well that he jumped above Anam's post.
Anam @ Nov 21st 2008 11:48AM
Yes, I noticed that as well. Nicely played, T. Your Braid-like abilities of time distortion are impressive indeed.

This means Midway comes back at the end. Sweet.

Why have I never seen this movie?
SlimPickinz96 @ Nov 21st 2008 11:22AM
Never Ending Story? No?
Hrm... With the horrible animatronic "Luck Dragon" that had huge blinkety blink eyes while it spoke?
LOL Loved it when i was a youngin' along with Willow, Labrynth and the other fantasy movies.
ZaxCG2 @ Nov 21st 2008 11:37AM
You were born in the 90's.
xGeneral DEATHx (Mr ESC Welcome Back Party Ultimate Mega Action Force) @ Nov 21st 2008 2:11PM
I was born in '82, actually. I guess we can just chalk this one up to a "deprived childhood".
Levi @ Nov 21st 2008 3:01PM
Well, at first I would say that seeing it for the first time now wouldn't be as special because you're all grown up, but I didn't see Labyrinth until I was in college, and that movie was still awesome. Neverending Story is even better than Labyrinth, so I say go rent it NOW!
FemaleOrca @ Nov 21st 2008 4:43PM
I rode on the back of Falcor in front of the old studio bluescreen just last year in Munich.
Coldbrand @ Nov 21st 2008 10:37AM
Boo hoo, shouldn't of made a kiddie Mortal Kombat for the sole purpose of cashing in on the DC brand. Let them rot.
Draco Basileus @ Nov 21st 2008 10:38AM
I think Midway needs to rebrand itself. Maybe they should change the name to "AllTheWay".
That, or get de-listed and call the company "NoWay"
I love MK and I love DC, but I'm still not sold on MK vs DC. Not at $60 anyways.
Rollins @ Nov 21st 2008 11:00AM
You know, if they somehow could price MK VS DCU at $40 like Rare did with Banjo, I bet they'd sell enough copies to make up the difference rather quickly.
Unfortunately, they're in no place to take such a risk.
Stuart @ Nov 21st 2008 10:47AM
Midway needs a big ol' shot of Phil Harrison. Ok, maybe they need more than that. A mature rating, perhaps?

I'm kicking myself for not immediately recognizing what movie that pic is from. Help anyone?
ZaxCG2 @ Nov 21st 2008 11:38AM
Someone needs to brush up on their GOOD MOVIES knowledge.
Anam @ Nov 21st 2008 12:48PM
The Neverending Story.
Now that you had to be reminded, if you don't purchase 10 copies of that movie and send them to people you know, your horse will sink into a swamp.
GiggMan @ Nov 21st 2008 11:55AM
Man the Never Ending Story brings back memories. Some nice movie qoutes from that one indeed. "Sabastian say my name!" "I can't... I can't say your name!"
AAhh the good old days I got to get this movie.
Blank-Mage @ Nov 21st 2008 12:18PM
Childrens movies have to be traumatic. It's the law.
(ARTAX NOOOOOOOOOOO!)
J.Goodwin @ Nov 21st 2008 12:51PM
It's even worse in the book. Seriously.
SlimPickinz96 @ Nov 21st 2008 12:55PM
Damn you Blank-Mage Dammm youuu!
