After a rather lukewarm reception for Auran's MMORPG Fury, CEO Tony Hilliam confirmed the sixty-man retrenchment of the original development team in favor of outsourcing any future work to China. The decision was linked to the rather slow start the MMORPG received upon its release last October.

Hilliam explained this decision by saying:

Whilst Fury has started off slower than expected, I still see a bright and long future ahead. However, that future will not include the full 60 man development team who have worked on Fury for the past year. The future will focus on a smaller, more agile core team of Fury developers.
