Netflix Called FIFA Cloud Game a Success; Its Studio Lost 85% of Staff Weeks Later

Netflix named FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition one of its most successful cloud-game launches on TV during its latest earnings call. Weeks later, co-owner Delphi Interactive pulled funding. Refactor Games laid off 85% of staff — roughly 80 people notified 31 July — with no severance, according to GameSpot. The game remains on Netflix. The team that built it does not.
