If this picture is correct, they have between 501-1000 employees. That would mean Sony will save quite something on saleries also

They had an employee count of 500-1000 people. They must have been Sony's most expensive game studio. I bet they were a giant moneysink. 

According to this report by Gamasutra from July 22nd 2014 the average developer in the U.S. makes $83,060 a year. Even if you make that $70,000 and use the 501 employee count that's already $35,070,000 a year in just salaries.
