This really isn't all that surprising, since so much of North's workforce has left the company recently.  Along with the cancellation of one of their two unannounced projects, there probably wasn't all that much going on there and Blizzard decided to consolidate.

This marks the final death of the original Condor team, what was left of it.  Rumor is that the other project they were working on (and will continue to work on at Blizzard "South") is Diablo III.

It'll be sad to no longer see the Blizzard North symbol at the startup screen of new games.

But all in all, I think we'll get by (with a little help from flagship studios). ;)

Cheers,
