While it's probably true that many key staff members have left due to constraints being put on their creativity and artistic licence, it would be daft to think that Retro would have any difficulties finding talented designers and developers to replace the departed. I mean come on, we're talking about a studio with a superb record of producing AAA titles, owned by Nintendo, the biggest video game publisher in the world. It's doubtless that some staff will value the level of trust Nintendo puts in Retro Studios, by allowing them to develop games the use Nintendo's key franchises, while others will be frustrated by such restrictions.

While I would personally prefer Retro to be given much greater reign to develop new IPs, it's doubtful the demise of the company is coming any time soon. We certainly haven't seen a dip in the quality of their output after all.
