It is the right move for the business. You won't like it, but it's one of the first cost cutting measures. Besides that, holy crap. So many generalizations in this thread. X_X | ||

Since patch 13 I see that Diablo 3 now gets into the final stages of development. Even though the beta limits the char level to 13 and the content to a fraction of Act 1, it is enough to see that it will be an outstandingly successful game because of the polished and vast content.sc2 bnet ... have u played d3? its unfixable | ||

It was clearly written that the franchises are perfectly safe, and they're over employment even considering their current projects and "Titan" and can't continue to pay people for doing jobs they aren't completely actively taking part of. By the end of the year, they will be over capacity when Diablo 3 is finally out the doors (especially when most of the development is complete) and HotS coming closer to more major announcements. For the first time, blizzard has a high probability of releasing 3 major titles in one year, which is overkill for such a company when you really think about it. What's written is pertty irrelevant. When have a company ever tried to spin layoffs in a bad light? "We just lay off a lot of people and we anticipate our products to be worse because of it!" | ||

I hope we don't see lower quality.Look at all that is missing from starcraft 2, even with all those people their game comes up short. Regardless laying off people is a bad sign for any company. | ||

I hope we don't see lower quality.They had less people when they released WoW, WC3... and those games were still high quality, don't be afraid. It's common sense to have staff reduction when you have less suscribers than before, and then hire new staff members when you release new products... | ||

it's interesting that the entire SC2 team is dead silent right now they're probably too busy with HotS crunch, and aside from maybe Samwise and Chris Sigaty, they probably aren't afforded the internal managerial ops knowledge to be able to add to anything to what we already know. I worked in QA for 5 years. Nearly 3 years on SC2 as a functionality tester (Game Balance, replay system, AI, game mechanics), A bit over a year on WoW, during cataclysm I was in charge of combat and pvp (all spells, talents, battlegrounds), most recently I worked on the combat team for Diablo 3. my respects to you sir, and best wishes on your future endeavors. hope to maybe read about some of your experiences in QA in the Trenches comic someday | ||
