Why is blizzard firing everyone?

You don’t have to like the guy, but if you want an examination about what’s going on in the industry here you go.

Ythisens was funny, smart and polite, and should not have been let go.

Why are you using hyperbole? Everyone is not being fired. Everyone is not being laid off.

Btw, People were laid off, not fired. There’s a difference.

Cool story. You should replace the last 2 letters of your avatar name, and replace it with an a lol.

Because they made immense piles of money, but the immense piles of money were not as big as they told the shareholders they would be, so, in ritual shame, they must slash the staff and cut programs in hope of magically making more money appear.

It’s not whether money was made, it’s whether goals were met, no matter how unrealistic or poorly thought out those goals were. And management never ever suffers for this.

Organizationally, it is literal feudalism. And it blows. But the inertia of money and power is really hard to stop, and a new Magna Carta ain’t gonna cut it anymore.

From another thread, jobs that don’t generate revenue were cut.

I assumed it would be cs jobs, but based on what another poster Said, also Esports.

There again, it would not really be generating revenue.
