It seems like Midway will be firing 25% of their workers, and cancel/postponing some of their games, due to a 240 million of dept.
To protect the company from ending, it’s made a plan, and that plan is to layoff it’s workers, so they can make their way back up. Under the plan, Midway will close its Austin-based development branch (the same branch which made BlackSite: Area 51). Harvey Smith describes the game as “so fucked up”. Along with that, Midway Chicago (Mortal Kombat vs. DC) and San Diego will see layoffs.
These games being canceled will be be moved to hitting shelves in 2010/2011. Midway’s announcement was described the halted projects as “non-core.”
