Gamespot is reporting that media mogul Sumner Redstone has decided to sell off his 87% ownership, or 92.1 million shares, of Midway Amusement Games LLC. to private financier Mark Thomas. The sale, which was very much expected, sold for a very unexpected price - a mere $100,000. That's just $0.0012 a share. Well below the current market value of $.33 a share.Why the Matterhorn-steep discount? As part of the deal, Thomas will assume $70 million of National Amusements' whopping $1.6 billion of debt. Redstone's company will also take an $800 million loss on the deal, allowing it to write off the sum in tax filings for both current and past years.

If this guy re-sells Midway, I would really be happy it was to Rockstar or Epic Games.
But there's a lot of other options...

Or at least Namco.
God no. MK would become a technical fighter, which it's not.
