It's usually a combination of factors. Sometimes entire studios get cut, like how Embracer completely shuttered Volition. Sometimes an entire team is let go if the project gets cancelled. For the really massive games (the kind with multiple studios working on them, like Call of Duty) there's the chance that entire studios or subteams (e.g. the DMZ subteam on Call of Duty) can get eliminated if the decision is made to cut further support for the game mode.

You may have seen some 2D or 3D animated movies and video games that look like they were hand-drawn or have a cartoon-like style. Usually, Japanese anime films and video games feature this distinct look. This type or technique of animation is known as cel-shading animation. Some also refer to it as toon shading. Although this is one of the most prominent 2D and 3D animation styles, the technology is fairly new and only around 30 years old.
