Remember how we told you aboutthe crap going down at Midway now that the money has run out? It seems that the people there were paying themselves millions in bonuses for selling off properties likeWheelmanandMortal Kombat. These bonuses were called “outrageous” by the government-appointed trustee overseeing the proceedings and the rest of the people they owe money to. And wouldn’t you be pissed if the company that owed you money was paying themselves (the leftover executives still there) almost $4 million in bonuses while closing up shop?
After beingspankedby trustee and creditor committee, Midway haschanged their tunea bit on the bonuses. Here’s a quick breakdown:
So cashing out before they clock out for good won’t be as easy anymore.
And it looks like the stuff will sell — or at least that’s how it sounds from what we’ve heard. If what Destructoid has learned is correct, Ubisoft has been hanging out around Midway Chicago’s studios, looking to pick them up. As for the rest, it seems that Warner Bros. may scoop it all up. Apparently execs from both companies have been making trips to the Midway offices.
