It’s kind of funny. The studio wanted to spin off to be independent. So everybody resigning, is effectively doing the same thing. It’s not like there’s big heavy machinery they have to move. The studio is the people.
If they start their own company, they have successfully totally spun off
Eh, reputation is still a thing and they probably aren’t getting to keep any of the IPs they worked on, like Stray or Outer Wilds. They also won’t get to keep whatever cash the company might have had in reserve. My understanding is that the idea of spinning off a studio to be indie is that you get to keep developing your IPs to some extent, you still have your brand and your reputation, etc. Otherwise they probably would have done this at the beginning.
Stray was excellent

So, no, they didn’t really spin it off heh.
Did you tip your fedora after you typed this?
I’d be willing to bet with the right PR this would only strengthen the reputation of whatever studio they decide to create next.
Unless theyre blocked by a non-compete
No such thing now. At least in the US.
