- adding support (or removing support) for various proposals from other staffers or other departments,
- review by decision makers,
- review during meetings of various people involved in GSL.

The really disheartening part of this (for me) is that GSL revision is important to tying business plans of third party publishers to those of WotC.

Since the people who work with GSL were downsized, and since according to Scott's words on these boards, he has other, higher priorities, to deal with, the GSL revision is likely to be postponed and, even worse, third party publishers, are indirectly informed that their input for 4E market is... even less important.

In other words, GSL revision, and subequently third party publishers... I think I don't need to spell it any clearer than this.

That's certainly possible, but considering their already tight resources, then being downsized, I would think that there should be no hard feelings on 3pp's part if WOTC has to focus its immediate attention on keeping afloat. It appears that the results of this last year and a half has been as disastrous for WOTC as I suspected. But the puzzling part is that they are still paying people to develop free computer games as per their latest email. I have no idea what the bottom line could possibly be in that.
