Midway and Eidos to merge

In older times they were two of the most important companies in the videogaming industry, by their own merit, now they are both facing problems.
The companies are now in negotiations to merge.
A merger was in the talks in 2003 but didn't occur, both companies think it will benefit both of them, so they are trying again, this time with more interest than back then.

Midway is famous for Mortal Kombat, among others, and has been the publisher of Unreal games for some time, while Eidos gained notoriety for the Tomb Raider and Hitman series.
Midway currently has a 233 million dollars market value while Eidos/SCi is valued at 166 million dollars.
