It's unsurprising, particularly the lateral move to DECA Games. It was an easy target for Embraced to cut costs, plus their last game was cancelled before release (Magic: Legends). It seems like the Cryptic engine would require a large investment to be used for new games, but I might be wrong.
Still frustrating, I'm certain those devs didn't deserve to be laid off. Seems they cut senior devs too.
