Midway CEO Zucker departs, company left looking for leadership

In the interim, Midway has put executive Matt Booty in charge until a suitable replacement for Zucker can be found and shackled to the wheel. Says Midway chairman Shari Redstone, the company needs "dynamic new leadership," and that the publisher "has the resources and creative capability to once again be competitive with the best in the videogame business." While we'll believe that when we see it, we'd advise Midway to invest in some new locks -- Zucker's departure marks the third time this year an executive has run out the front door, abandoning the beleaguered company for greener pastures.

The only way Matt Booty will let the Midway ship sink is if he fills it with too much treasure.

if they don't stop making shitty games like blacksite,Mk armageddon,Stranglehold,this is vegas,and this new Mortal Kombat VS Dc universe crap.To put it quite simple,They are screwed.Used to be a big fan of midway,and then they hit 3d,and came out with very bad games that were rushed,and had some sort of deadlines,then I lost all respect for them,that guy made a great move if you ask me
