Well this is more like an accountant kind of thing, or legal affair. But the bottom line is that Midway is trying to avoid bankruptcy, and at the same time they have the intention to pay to at least 29 important employees some kind of protection.
They have the goal to gather as much as $3,755,000 USD. The plan includes bonus payments tied to 3 especific milestones. The employees that qualify for the plan would receive a percentage of such milestones:
The first milestone involves the distribution of a new game, Midway’s “Wheelman” (apparently already accomplished). Bonus Amount: $497,500.
Milestone 2 and 3 involve the sale of Midway’s Mortal Kombat franchise assets. Bonus Amount: $1,292,500. and $1,965,000.
So now the question is, if Midway manages to survive their economic crisis, what will they do next, without Mortal kombat??
They would have to start over and give it all to a brand new, revolutionary franchise like the one MK was in the 90´s??
