Looking over their list of games on Wikipedia, the only notable games they ever made were the Lemmings and Wipeout games. No big loss there.

Has Sucker Punch and Insomniac lost any staff?

I haven't heard that they have, and I doubt they will considering both companies have both released hit games very recently (and it's a pretty open secret now that Sucker Punch is working on Infamous 2).
ThePerm:
theres a difference between shaking up jobs and outright loosing them, i forgot to mention right before they dropped those warner jobs i saw soem adds for some jobs at Warner. A lot of the guys at some of these shitty third parties aren't making great games, so a good way to start over again is drop the fat and hire some new people. Maybe these guys will be more competent.

I realize that these aren't the devs of the original, classic Lemmings games but some recent shitty sequels but wasn't Wipeout regarded very highly?
Stratos:
I recall Wipeout being regarded as a good game back in the day but can't think of anything that came out of that series in the last decade that was terribly groundbreaking or relevant. Though I'm only familiar with playing it on PC so maybe it had more clout on Sony or Microsoft consoles.
