Furthermore, former Midway CTO/now "head of WB Games Chicago" Michael Weilbacher's LinkedIn profile seems to corroborate our suspicions. We've contacted Warner Bros. and Midway for comment and will update this post with more information as we get it.

I have heard numerous mentions of this name change from my contacts inside of Midway. I thusly reported a few weeks ago by at my site TRMK.

It's a sad end to an era of the Midway name being attached to video games.

I love that picture- as if all the Mortal Kombat characters put aside their differences and got together to take a group photo. But if that's all of them, who's taking the picture!?

Noob Saibot probably because I don't see him in the pic.

The old CEO of Midway was taking the picture and laughing at their faces...
