Develop reports that Midway Newcastle has been closed, which follows previous reports that the Wheelman developer is not one of the Midway assets being acquired by Warner Bros. Word is CEO Matt Booty broke the news to the 70-some staff left unemployed by the move. The fate of Necessary Force is not clear from the story, nor is the fate of Midway San Diego, the other studio not picked up by Warner. Thanks Joystiq.
