It never was like that. Studios that do badly are never gutted, not as far as I've seen from online reports.
I think the reason why studios are gutted after success is that it's almost guaranteed that the money will keep flowing even after they are fired, BECAUSE of the success.
If you make a game and it sucks the company can't afford to fire you because they don't have guaranteed cash flow regardless if you're there or not.
