Seems like the fragile economy is even hurting the game business. But actually, that’s not the case. They say in some areas of Blizzard Entertainment, positions are getting overstaffed. So they’re letting people go. Mostly non-developers.
\nLike people that handle the water coolers or mail. They will however not be walking away empty-handed. This is good. I’d hate to see the families of these unfortunate employees hurting over this.<\/p>\n
I just hope they get their shit together. Some people think “does this mean Blizzard is hurting due to the increase in gas prices?”. That question is easily answered with the billions of dollars they make… every day. So they’re not hurting. The answer is simply, they don’t have any work for them. That’s what happens when people get laid off.<\/p>\n
And to ensure to players that development of games will not be affected by this, they state in the coming weeks, they’ll be announcing Diablo III’s release date (don’t care), AND give more info on MoP in the process. And they also state that they’re doing what is humanly possible to getting those games into players hands ASAP.<\/p>\n
