why not just say "humble bundle has decided to leave the indie game development market and refocus on selling game as a core" stating that they laid off the entire game development team but are still planning on staying in the market is very weird to me

...because one of these things is a fact and the other is speculation?

Yeah I'm sure it was an urge to keep to the most strictly factual reporting possible, and not because one headline drives a lot more clicks and thus increased revenue.
