Harvey Smith Leaves Midway


In an completely unsurprising development, BlackSite: Area 51 [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,4961/].

Denise Fulton of Midway confirmed Smith's split with the company but did not offer any reasons for his departure, telling Thief: Deadly Shadows [http://www.gametap.com/home/read/article/8a25090116918bc7011691f83b9b04bb].

Earlier this week, while speaking at the "disastrously off rails," [http://www.sijm.ca/en] claiming that difficulties with technology and "reprehensible" time constraints forced the game to go straight from "alpha to final." Most reviews for the game have given it relatively low scores, which Smith said in his address came as no surprise.

I'm glad he quit. There is only so much crap you can take from a company and they need to be called out something that is garbage b/c it is their fault. Alpha to final is a push for greed, not quality...so Midway deserves everything they have coming to them.
