According to the online edition of the Chicago Tribune, the acquisition of bankrupt company Midway Games by Warner Bros. received the legal approval to continue (Midway developed and published titles such as Mortal Kombat, Ms. Pac-Man, Spy Hunter, Tron and NBA Jam.)

The acquisition had been stopped following certain legal disputes over several of Midway's IPs. This conflict saw the involvement of several companies, including Threshold Entertainment (they produced two movies based on Mortal Kombat beat'em-up series) and Tigon Studios (founded by actor Vin Diesel, they developed Wheelman in partnership with Midway).

Warner Bros. offered 33 million dollars for the purchase of all Midway assets.
