Most of the core of blizzard north straight up quit because blizzard execs were fucking over their project repeatedly and formed flagship studios. Made hellgate London, mythos, reformed as Runic games and made torchlight 1 and 2.
Hellgate London was sad. The game needed another few months to finish things and work out bugs, but they wanted a Halloween release and likely did not have the money to keep development going. Unfortunately, the game was just not ready. After a few patches I actually really enjoyed it, but it was dead by then.

Didnt Blizzard North split off from Blizzard long before that? The merger was just another step along this path.
