The story of Midwayâs recent woes makes for grim reading if you read every story individually. But if you combine them into a single narrative and emphasise the characters, well, youâve got a soap opera!
Kris Graft over at Gamasutra has done just that, weaving the whole sorry tale into a drama starring âthe old billionaireâ, the âsoftcore porn-publishing failed CEOâ and the âmysterious investorâ.
Itâs an entertaining read, yes, but also a useful one for anybody late to the party on the demise of the once-great company, as it serves as a concise roundup of how one of the biggest publishers of the 90âs now stands on the brink of bankruptcy.
