Well its not exactly a mass exodus, but this rash of "leaving on friendly terms" of game studio heads seems to correspond pretty logically with the most stressful and evaluative time of year, the Holiday season. I would be more concerned for Lead Designers leaving if it was the content of the games I was interested in, though...
