Currently, only a few licenses that w PotBS Doubloon ere around during the last console cycle are developed inside Midway--and even fewer which would result in a multimillion-dollar loss. The highest profile is the NBA Bal Buy Cheap PotBS Gold Doubloons lers, which launched in 2004 on the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2. The latest entry into PotBS Doubloon the series, April's NBA Ballers: Chosen One, was personally fouled by critics and shunned by audiences. Domestically, the game sold less than 60,000 units on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 combined as of August 31, according to the NPD Group.

When it comes to Midway-published licensed IPs developed by third parties, the list of suspects grows. The company has distributed games based on several Cartoon Network shows, including: The Grim Adventures of Billy &am Buy Cheap PotBS Gold Doubloons p; Mandy (developed by High Voltage Software), Ed, Edd n Eddy (developed by A2M), and Aqua Teen Hunger Force (developed by Creat Studios). In the US, Midway also publishes the Lord of the Rings Online massively multiplayer online role-playing game, developed by Turbine Software. (European publishing duties are handled by Codemasters.)

It has signed on to distribute LOTRO's forthcoming Mines of Moria expansion pack, due out November 18. However, since Lord of the Rings Online isn't a console game and Midway didn't agree to publish it until 2006--as the console generation was transitioning--it is unclear if it falls under the rep's rubric.
