It's been years since I worked in the gaming industry, but at my
company, development and QA were tied together, so when a game was cut
loose, they'd cut the dev team and QA together. QA didn't move on to
another game.

The parent company was in England. I liked how they handled it. They
gave both teams a generous severance, wished them luck, and announced
the decision in a company meeting - then bought out the pub across the
street for the night to send them off.
