Awesome news!

Perhaps Midway might actually make some decent games again. Poor leadership = failing studios, losses, losses and more losses, bad games, bad quality games - seems to have been the legacy of David Zucker. Hope the company gets a breath of fresh air, they used to be a revered game developer.
