It's funny because just the other day I heard that a big name designer got fired from his latest job. I won't say who it was/is because I think it's very sad whenever anyone loses a job...sometimes there's nothing that can be done, but it's still someone's life we are talking about and it's a tough blow to take. But I will tell you that this is a designer who designed some DAMN GOOD GAMES (and these games were phenoms as well...popular as any big game has ever been)...and now he's out of a job. And he's a guy who seemed to really pursue the limelight, the fame, the accolades....at least as far as I could tell. I don't know him but from my view it seemed that the fame overtook the work, you know?

Hey guys, I can definitely confirm that I have left Midway - I've been gone for about 3 weeks and Rhaluka and I have been traveling around and having fun together (a sort of honeymoon without going to tropical destinations).

Midway says that development of Gauntlet hasn't been impacted by my departure and is scheduled to ship this fall. I can't say anything more about the situation and hope you all understand. Smile

I'm currently looking at lots of exciting developments right now and it'll be a couple months before I can announce my next destination.
