Note its only a rumor,

Suppose this turn out to be true, Epic Games creates one of Midway's biggest cash cows, Unreal Tournament, Epic has been in trouble for years now, not being able to post a profit since the years of the Dreamcast. Midway has talented development houses that create solid games, the biggest one to come out of them was Stranglehold last year. The game according to VG Charts sold rougly 300K on the 360 and just over 150k on the PS3, not anywhere near their expectations despite being a solid game.

So what do all of you think? Will this move turn Midway into the next Acclaim? Or will some sort of an agreement be made that will allow Epic to continue creating Unreal Tournamnet for Midway for select platforms if this happens?

Stranglehold sucked on the PS3 it had so many framerate drops.

Well thats the PS3, the 360 version ran as smooth has a supermodels skin Atleast you guys got the remastered version of Hardboiled though.
