Romero Leaves Midway

John Romero has quit Midway and is touring the universe with his wife. Gauntlet remains unchanged, except the Blue Valkyrie will no longer bear the visage of a certain level designer. From the horse's mouth:

Hey guys, I can definitely confirm that I have left Midway - I've been gone for about 3 weeks and Rhaluka and I have been traveling around and having fun together (a sort of vacation without going to tropical destinations).

Midway says that development of Gauntlet hasn't been impacted by my departure and is scheduled to ship this fall. I can't say anything more about the situation and hope you all understand.

I'm currently looking at lots of exciting developments right now and it'll be a couple months before I can announce my next destination.
