You would have hoped that, ever since Midway and a sizable number of the company’s assets were bought by Warner Bros., news of corporate drama would be reduced by at least 80 percent, but unfortunately this is simply not the case.

It’s being reported that all 60 employees at Midway’s corporate offices in Chicago are to be let go, which represents roughly 20% of Midway’s worldwide. The affected employees have been given 60 days notice as of Monday this week, as the layoffs are said to be in effect from the beginning of September.

Notably amongst those to be let go, amongst other senior executives, is Midway CEO and President, Matt Booty, who has had a torrid time of trying to keep Midway afloat over the last few years.

100 employees at Midway’s development studio in Chicago (responsible for Mortal Kombat), however, have been offered further employment by Warner Bros.

Recently, Midway Newcastle was forced to shut down after a suitable buyer could not be found, while Midway San Diego is still up for sale, and now has less than two months to be bought.
