Midway Marketing VP finds life raft at Capcom
The water now reaching her ankles, Midway's Mona Hamilton has decided to finally leap overboard and swim for safety. With 45 days and counting before Midway's financial doom is sealed, the marketing VP has moved on, taking up the same role with Capcom. Though we imagine now actually having quality games to pitch will make her job much easier to manage. Hamilton is just the latest to abandon the beleaguered publisher, though apparently she had been hanging out near the railing since August. In her new role, she will lead Capcom's marketing efforts in North America. We just hope she enjoys her checks paid in Zenny.
More Midway departures including Chicago studio head
Just a day after learning of another blood-red quarter at Midway, with $34.8m lost in its second quarter, Kotaku brings word of a trio of high-level departures from the beleaguered publisher including Mike Bilder, head of Midway's internal Chicago studio, currently tasked with bringing Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and Blitz: The League II to market.Also gone: Mona Hamilton, veep of marketing, and Reilly Brennan, director of media relations. Midway confirmed all three departures, and said that Bilder accepted a senior management position with another Chicagoland dev (any ideas, Joystiqland?). There are two additional rumored departures, but Midway's apparently not ready to talk about them yet. That's fine. For now we'll just add these three to the list we've already got going, right there next to these two guys and the company's CEO.
