Vicarious might get some minor layoffs but they will be fine, they were the primary developer of Crash N. Sane Trilogy on PS4 and also did the Switch port. If I had to guess i would say they are working on a brand new Crash game.

But I agree on High Moon, they have been nothing but a Destiny support developer for the last few years so I could see them being shut down.

As for Radical, I'm pretty sure they already got shut down back in 2012. A small number of the staff was kept around to support development on the first Destiny but Radical itself in gone.

High Moon was also used prior to Destiny for last gen CoD porting as well. All they had was two shots at the War for Cybertron series and then they were cut short, a damn shame if you ask me, because I really loved what they did with Transformers. So far they have been the only devs out there to make the kind of Transformers game I've always wanted. 

Ya it's a shame that a bunch of their studios that used to make AA games have been axed or reduced to support studios.

In the last ~5 years their internal output has pretty much consisted of the annual Call of Duty and annual kid friendly game (formerly Skylanders, now Crash/Spyro remakes) and they dont publish games from outside developers nearly as much as they used to.
