Firstly, this dude is not the game director, he's the director of a 6 man support studio based in the US. Netease fired his 6 man team. Apparently his studio did R&D stuff related to the game. Since the game is killing it I guess netease wants to stop outsourcing it but that's just an unsubstantiated guess.

It's almost like they treat gaming like movie production.

You create a company to manage the product, release it, then let everyone go because production has stopped.

Games don't really work that way though...
