From Gamespot:

Midway Games today announced that it has agreed to sell 11,350,000 shares of its common stock in order to raise proceeds of approximately $82.3 million, before placement fees and expenses. The net proceeds, which are expected to total around $78.4 million, will be used by Midway for working capital, research and development, marketing and distribution efforts, and for acquisitions and strategic alliances should the opportunities arise."

What this means is that for a mere $78.4 million dollars, you will not only be the proud owner of a large-part of Midway; but you will also hold heavy influence on the business decisions of Midway Games. This translates as having significant impact on what products are sold, and how those products are brought into being. You want to see Smoke in MK7? How about Rain? Even Stryker? Make Team MK put them there... or tell them (in the words of The Donald), "You're Fired!"

Ha, only 74 million dollars something... let me count here......................................
Crap! i'm 74 million dollars short!!!
According to the official count, there are 14054 registered Mortal Kombat Online users.

$74,000,000 (Midway shares) / 14054 (MKO users) = $5265.40

If everyone chips in $5265.40, WE WILL OWN MIDWAY! Come on, skip college and stop eating everyone ... MK7 is on the line here!!
