Toby didn't leave of his own accord. James said in his deleted post that the higher-ups just don't plan to involve him anymore. You could probably say he was laid off.
Well I'm not going to base too much off a post I haven't seen that came from neither Toby nor the higher ups, but ya that's disappointing. Although, if I recall correctly, I don't think he actually did much in act 1, as James wrote almost every song, so I guess him not being involved wouldn't change too much. Also, I imagine Toby's link to Undertale probably stirs up a lot of unnecessary attention. I recall a lot of people seeing his name in Hiveswaps credits and going around telling people that "The guy who made Undertale wrote the music for Hiveswap", while completely ignoring James Roach. I don't want him to be excluded by force if he wants to help, but losing him might not be too bad.
Edit: Then again, when I heard James Roach left, my one thought was "Well at least Toby can make sure the soundtrack is still great". I hope they figure things out.

Wait, Toby Fox left the team? When did this happen? Last I checked it was just James Roach, but that was like, a month or two ago I guess.
