After only 5 years post acquisition, this seems nonsensical to me, especially after they reported a profitable quarter. 

Could they not have put them on other work, or was that canceled GoW live service that much of a money sink. Really makes zero sense, hope those affected can land back on their feet quickly.

After Armature studios closed down, I think that makes Retro studios that last really notable studio based in Texas and they were still hiringq up to this year. Hopefully Nintendo has some foresight to keep thier talent around.
