Midway Newcastle drains the moat, shuts down

That leaves the fate of Midway San Diego still hanging in the balance. Hopefully the 70 or so folks from Newcastle can find jobs soon. We hear that Realtime Worlds is hiring like crazy, and perhaps the team at Ruffian could use some help on Crackdown 2?

"Wheelman"
They should've been shutdown just for even releasing that giant turd of a game.

I always wonder how many people that complain about games being terrible have actually played them and/or come up with their own opinions instead of reading other people saying how bad it is.
It wasn't even a bad game; I thoroughly enjoyed it and to say something like that is so harsh. Imagine if I said to you:
"People keep saying that everything you've worked on for the past two years is shit. So for that reason, I'm going to fire you and shut down your company."

Wow, that sucks. But then, so did Wheelman.
(I hope they find work, under better vision/management)

Necessary Force was completely unnecessary anyway (LOL!!!). Though I'm probably one of maybe three people that actually watched that trailer.
The loss of jobs is unfortunate, though.

So Midway continues it slow sinking into oblivion.

Hopefully these 70 people are not functionally retarded and were already looking for jobs.... of course then again they did work for midway.

Could you at least lower the ship in the image? Have the flag sticking out of the water.
