It hasn't exactly been a big secret that Midway is in financial trouble and has been for a few years now. Earlier this year, not only did its CEO David F. Zucker
resign, but also
board member Shari Redstone (daughter of media mogul Sumner Redstone), while its
losses mounted and it currently faces
NYSE de-listing. It should come as no surprised then that Sumner Redstone has now
sold off his 87% stake in Midway, for an abysmal $100,000, shares that were once worth almost $1 billion.

losses mounting, the
takeover talks that it declared were "over" in early 2008 are back on track, according to UK's

partnering with Warner Bros. (having turned down
an offer from Infogrames), but none of that seems to have stopped it shares from plummeting. Looking to acquire the Tomb Raider/Hitman publisher, which was once valued £1billion, on the cheap, inside sources reveal EA and Ubisoft might have a renewed interest.
