This is why the bloated AAA industry will collapse onto itself, as too many studios are sitting on the brink of severe financial troubles after one game with mediocre performance...we lost a lot of good studios to this last gen. It is a shame that the lesson was not learned.

You aren't coincidentally talking about Studio Liverpool?

I was thinking more along the lines of Free Radical (which was eaten by Crytek coincedentally) and Factor 5 (which closed down), but there were a lot of good studios that closed down...

I read it as "We lost a good studio to this last gen" and had just gotten reminded of the shutdown of Studio Liverpool. Though honestly, the very biggest AAA developers, seem to be fine nevertheless. I think it's more like the "2,5 A" studios that are threatened.
