Netflix is reportedly shutting down its AAA studio known as Team Blue. Amazon wanted to go in a different direction for its God of War live-action adaptation, Deadline says, and has hired Ronald D. Moore as its new showrunner.

From the moment it was announced that Netflix had hired a team of former Blizzard, Bungie and Sony developers to create a AAA game, it felt too likely that little or nothing would come of it. Non-gaming companies deciding to try to grab a slice of the giant pie by spending money to recruit big names often seems to end this way (although Amazon is rather noticeably countering this right now).
