Midway closes San Diego,
Aussie studios on GameSpot reports that Midway has pulled a bit of a Grinch
move, closing their San Diego, California and Adelaide, Australia studios just a
couple of weeks before Christmas. The Australian closure is surprising, as
Midway just acquired Ratbag Studios to be their Aussie studio in August
(
story), but the report cites a recent string of losses as a
likely motivation behind the move, so this may be a case of Ratbags being thrown
off a sinking ship.
