Rumor: Midway to merge with Eidos?

A source has told Next-Gen that Midway and SCi/Eidos are evaluating the possibility of a merger.

As recently as November 2007, Tomb Raider house SCi openly announced that it is entertaining offers for the company. A source within a major game publisher told Next-Gen Wednesday that Chicago-based Midway is one company that is interested.

haha i just had an idea, imagine lara croft in mortal kombat how fuuny would that be, she could use her chest as i finnishing move, haha (or friendship, lol)

1. While I do believe it will be big, I don't think it will be that big considering neither Midway or Eidos is as big as Activ or Vivendi.

2.OMG, Awesome idea. lol, it's highly possible. Midway did put MK's Raiden in UTC on Xbox. They might try more stuff like that.
As for type of Lara's finisher, maybe Midway will finally introduce the long rumored sexality.

lol, nice pic.
Mortal Lara! or Tomb Kombat.

[J@D]

Mortal Lara sound good lol ^__^

[heyheyhey]

yeah or maybe agent 47 goes around assassinating key MK figures lol

[MK_Red]

He can try but he won't success. Sub-Zero will rip his spine.
lol, it would be fun to have Hitman and Lara in MK8 as secret characters.

Might as well merge a DYING company like Midway since they haven't made any profit since 1999. And all they seem create is mediocre to garbage titles nowadays.

[BlackIceJoe]

This would be pretty interesting and might just work out for the both of them. I think this could even help in the future for may be some new IPs.

WOW. Now that's shocking!
