It's stunning how much this is happening in the games industry. Two of the sequels I was actually looking forward to (Payday 3 and Kerbal Space Program 2) had this happen to their studios. PD3's dev had their CEO, CFO, lead artist, lead music guy, and 2/3rds of their coders leave to form a different company. KSP got bought out by Take Two, who promptly fired all but 3 coders.
