Former Midway Owner Sumner Redstone Must Be Deposed, Bankruptcy Court Rules

March 24, 2009

Earlier this month GamePolitics broke the news that media mogul and former Midway owner Sumner Redstone had been subpoenaed for a deposition by unsecured Midway creditors who suspected hanky-panky in the November sale of the Mortal Kombat publisher for a mere $100,000 last November.

According to Redstone's subpoena, he was to be deposed in Manhattan yesterday. But attorneys for Redstone and business associate Robert Steele appeared in Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Friday in an attempt to quash those subpoenas.

That maneuver failed, however, and the Court ruled today that Redstone's deposition was "appropriate."

That being the case, Redstone will be deposed on Friday of this week, while Steele will give his deposition on Thursday.

The motion to quash apparently did not include Redstone's daughter Shari, who formerly chaired Midway's board. Shari Redstone's deposition was scheduled for March 19th.

MaskedPixelante: So all in all, more of the same, with the possibility of used game restrictions and always on DRM disguised as "cloud computing".05/21/2013 - 1:20pm
Andrew Eisen: Absolutly zero gameplay footage. Doesn't look like there are going to be a lot of games ready to launch by the end of the year.05/21/2013 - 1:12pm
E. Zachary Knight: They didn't talk about any of the other exclusives. I guess they are saving that for E3.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
E. Zachary Knight: quicknoid, They have 15 exclusives coming in the first year with 8 of them being original franchises. I think Ghosts is at least a timed exclusive.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
MaskedPixelante: Maybe they could stick some facial recognition software on the new Kinect to keep 12 year olds off of Xbox Live. That'd be nice.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm

ddrfr33k: Hmm...If Ghosts has as much emphasis on the story as they say they do, they might be able to turn the series around...05/21/2013 - 1:04pm
quiknkold: The Halo TV Show is the only thing that impressed me.05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
quiknkold: so to summarize. Xbox One is a Glorified Television box with gaming capabilities. Voice activated tv because people are getting lazyer than using a remote control. more kinect, no exclusive games, and they only show sports games and call of duty05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
