TNA News: TNA video game franchise without a home after Midway Games bought out; Analysis of interesting domino effect involving WWE
By James Caldwell, Torch assistant editor
TNA's video game franchise is without a home after Time Warner bought Midway Games this week, but did not buy the studio in San Diego, California that produced the first TNA video game last year.Caldwell's Analysis: An interesting domino effect could be in play here. THQ balked at the idea of renewing its WWE video game license despite pressure from Jakks, which actually will have TNA's toy license in 2010 when WWE switches to Mattel. WWE and THQ have a rocky relationship right now, and we've reported that WWE and THQ might not have another video game together after this upcoming edition in fall 2009. WWE would need a replacement video game company to produce its annual offering before ditching THQ, but conceivably, THQ could buy the Midway scraps not sold to Time Warner and produce TNA's video games. Stay tuned on this interesting development.Link: Joystiq.com report .
