If it were to happen I don't think it would effect any of Midway's upcoming titles so fret not if anyone was worried..

EA = Electronic Arts.

Most people on the internet say they have lost the plot and are "Evil"...I am starting to aggree with them after paying $50 for Kanes Wrath and only getting 5 solo player missions :/

Yeah, Viacom pisses and moans way too much. They removed a really good Event Horizon parody off of there not too long ago.

EA probably got too complacent and relaxed after getting that NFL deal.
