In the long run, with the release of Diablo 3 and HotS, as well as the announcement of Titan and whatever else they might be doing over there, I'm sure they'll end up rehiring and continue to grow. Just my perspective. | ||

I can't really get into details because I just don't know. Unfortunately other Game Masters were let go as well. It was a great experience and something I will never forget. This just means that I can look for new opportunities. | ||

Where you working at Blizzard headquarters as GM or from home? 2. How much information do you get about Blizzard projects, like unannounced titles and such? I'm just curious on what job you have to have at Blizzard in order to know "everything". Like if you are a developer on Starcraft 2. Do you know whats going on with Titan, when Diablo 3 is going to release, other unannounced stuff? | ||

You know releasing any of that info on Titan would be a lawsuit right? lol | ||

With WOW on the decline, Blizzard has to pay even more attention to its other IPs. | ||

There is a huge difference between being fired and redundancy. I hate people that don't get the difference. You get fired because you are a dick, you get made redundant because the people controlling the money are dicks. The answer to the ho wmuch will people know willb e not that much. THey will get internal press releases but if you are on a team for a particular project rather than a person who manages several projects you will not have mental capacity or time to worry about other things. The amount of work these guys have to do in the time constraints they have is nothing short of hilarious - for every person at the company there are probably 1000 who could do and want that job. Also why spread info on projects that are shrouded in secrecy? | ||

We'll have exciting news to share in the coming weeks regarding Diablo III's release date, I found it sad this is all I took away from this. | ||

It was not possible for Game Masters to work from home, we all worked from the office. 2. There isn't really anything I can say about this for Legal reasons. | ||
