Why would they move to a new, much bigger, studio if they're laying people off?


Because things change.

Also isn't it bigger because they wanted more space to do mocap stuff? Bigger doesnl;t necessarily mean intended to accomodate more permanent staff. I can see them bringing in contractors on a project basis, just like the movie biz does. It's one way for AAA studios to survive by having less permanent staff to carry between projects.

Shame though. One of the flagship first party studios downsizing is not a sign of robust health in the game development world.
