Midway chairman Brown steps down, CEO Booty goes up |
Ó
So is Midway really going under or what? Despite announcing a new Mortal Kombat game and managing to buy time to avoid bankruptcy, the company may be back in hot water.
Midway Games chairman - uh, now ex-chairman, I mean - Peter C. Brown has resigned from his post in the company. Not going into details, he only cited personal reasons for his leaving.
The new chairman to take Brown's place is Midway's CEO, Matt Booty. It's been a long journey for him, which started in 1991 when he was first hired as a programmer. Throughout his career in Midway, he managed to go up the ladder - now he's on top.
Having the chairman resign at such crucial times may or may not be a good thing for Midway. For what it's worth, change is also good. Maybe Booty can shape things up, yeah?

I know that Midway is capable of some great games. So I hope this new CEO is going to change things for the better.
If this man has worked from the bottom up to the very top, then he must have some natural instinct that runs with his obvious talents that have placed him there! The people I give the most respect to definitely include hard-working dedicated people. Good luck, and save Midway!!!
I thought for a second that Ed Boon would be CEO. XD Seriously, thou, just hope he's the answer that Midway is looking for to survive. Best of luck.
