Midway Austin hit with 'minor layoff'


It seems yesterday's news of two Midway executives bailing out didn't mark the only departures from the publisher this week. According to GamesIndustry.biz, Midway has confirmed a number of layoffs at its Austin studio, classifying it as a "minor" and "routine" move following the completion of a project. Midway insisted that its numerous other teams and studios will continue to grow according to the needs of its current developments.

Hopefully, such developments won't have to endure "f*cked up" processes and chilly commercial receptions.
