Midway Delivers Fatality to Austin Studio

After reporting $34.8 million in losses, Midway is axing in-development title “Career Criminal” and firing 90 to 130 personnel.

According to a statement released by Midway will remain open as Midway’s outsourcing.

“While this was a very difficult decision, we feel it was the right thing to do for the future of Midway,” CEO Matt Booty said. “We view every game as an investment that must meet certain standards for quality, scheduling, and profitability.”

The Austin studio developed titles such as Area 51 and BlackSite: Area 51.

    I played BlackSite at last years E3. It wasn’t terribly horrible, but it wasn’t COD4 either.
