Sucks. I was always hoping they would make a really great game and stay afloat, but I guess not.

well, they did with Mortal Kombat 2, but it could only hold them so long.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY Hope WB doesn't buy them... Hell why would anyone want to buy them? You get only a few shitty IP's(as they have sold off most of them) and a few studios that haven't released a big selling games in years. I'd buy a few of the studios, but not the company. The company is a titanic, its dead and have been bleeding money for years. It needs to be striped of its assets(studios and IP's) and allowed to die.

If only they had a few million sitting around... now where could they get their hands on that kind of cash?

On a totally unrelated note, how many knocks to the head does it take to actually kill a cow? I would have thought one...

Thegodzero · Apr 2009

Depends on how fat and bloated the cow is and how thick its skull is.

And Magic 8Balls lol

Seriously? This is news. LOL No one is buying them because everyone in the world knows they don't need to. They will be done soon and then they can buy the ips even cheaper.

hmm yeah best bet let them go bankrupt offer them $1 for the entire thing on proviso that they take on the debts, then strip it down and sell what you can to pay off the losses. Well thing is though would the remaining IPs be worth it.. I doubt it..

Wait, do the execs get royalties, every time someone mentions M!dw@y?

Who'd have thought that giving out millions of dollars in executive and designer bonuses would eat up all your money?

oh, right, normal people.
