Wargaming Seattle is shutting down, according to Gamasutra. This will impact around 150 jobs.

Wargaming Seattle was the former Gas Powered Games, which first debuted in 1998. Former developers at Cave Dog Entertainment founded the studio. The studio created PC classics like 2002’s action role-playing game Dungeon Siege and 2007’s real-time strategy game Supreme Commander. It also created the early MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) Demigod in 2009.
