More Midway departures including Chicago studio head
Also gone: Mona Hamilton, veep of marketing, and Reilly Brennan, director of media relations. Midway confirmed all three departures, and said that Bilder accepted a senior management position with another Chicagoland dev (any ideas, Joystiqland?). There are two additional rumored departures, but Midway's apparently not ready to talk about them yet. That's fine. For now we'll just add these three to the list we've already got going, right there next to these two guys and the company's CEO.

I wonder if InfoGrames has financial room to save two companies...

I'm guessing some of them went to Robomodo. They seem to be hiring up all the Chicago dev refugees.

I still love you Midway.

Only thing we can know for sure is he won't be going to EA Chicago.

This after last year's closure of EA Chicago... poor Chicago, this city needs a financially stable dev.

Midway is probably screwing up Chicago's chances of becoming a development hub. Tho we do have flashpoint academy (tho it doesn't look too technical) and Wideload, Pop Cap Games, Day 1 Studios.

guaranteed they went to robomoto, big things are happening there...

I really hope this isn't going to get any worse. It's a horrible position to be in.

Nope, good guess though.
