I do not view Haze as being the cause of the probable downfall. I view the game as merely being a symptom of the disease. Which eventually killed the company. Since the company was ailing it would be little surprise if development was failing. Basically the game was shitty, because the staff was having a shitty time. Which is as good an explanation for Haze as anything else. Shitty management is probably to blame. Making poor strategic choices, poor financial choices, and in the end was probably abusive to the employees. Given the origins of this developer it is not at all surprising if they did implode due to internal conflict.
For all the mention of Nintendo. I would say that makes little to no sense. The most logical conclusion would be Microsoft coming to the rescue. For no other reason then Lionhead, and Rare being right down the road. If nothing else its highly likely that both these studios will claim a fair share of the terminated. However others have said it the developer has little of value. The name brand recognition has been poisoned, and the intellectual properties are of no real merit. A word to the wise with developers a good franchise starts with a good story. Not with a good premise. You cannot kill a good story.
