Last month the company sold some of its accounts receivable to National Amusements – the company owned by Midway's Shari Redstone – in an effort to raise USD 40 million to help finance its Christmas line-up of games.

And only last week it decided to cancel some of it licensing agreements, halting production on a number of undisclosed future titles.
