"This project was so f---ed up," Smith reportedly said of the project (Area 51: Blacksite). "With a year to go, the game was disastrously off rails...it went straight from alpha to final."

Midway-Austin studio head Denise Fulton confirmed the departure but declined to comment on the reasons, saying only it was "by mutual agreement between Harvey and the studio."

Guess it's time to ban Midway  :'(

Harvey Smith is the asshole that made Deus Ex 2.  Nobody should hire the idiot.

He was eager to take the blame, the game goes and under performs (although the timing of the release was just stupid).  Hell, there shouldn't be a reason WHY he isn't fired.
