In late November we reported how Blacksite: Area 51 manager, Harvey Smith described the development process of Blacksite as “F***ed up”. Full details can be read here.
Well, we can now reveal to you that Smith is no longer with Midway, with details surfacing this week that he has parted ways with the firm. It is unknown if he was fired as a result of his outspoken words described above, or whether he chose to leave on his own accord. All we know for certain is that Smith is no longer with the company.
Smith has yet to announce what avenue he will be pursuing next; however, as some may know, he was the lead designer on Deus Ex, which is known as one of the best PC shooters ever released. With that in mind, we could possibly see him head towards the Deus Ex 3 project being over run by Eidos in Montreal.
At least Harvey Smith spoke his mind and was honest; the industry needs more people like him.
