Just a quick note: Although layoffs always suck at this time of year, they're definitely nothing new for
WotC or, well, the rest of America. Budgets turn over in December/January for many companies, thus necessitating layoffs and other cost-cutting procedures.
We also don't know whether or not
WotC is giving their former staff full holiday bonuses.
And as Umbran wisely mentioned, the economy is a big factor. Everyone's hurting, and unfortunately bad things happen to good people.
Thankfully, gaming as an industry is tight-knit. We help our own how we can. Plenty of other people are getting laid off that aren't receiving comfort and kind words from thousands of fans worldwide.
Not calling anyone out or anything, but let's all keep perspective, hrm?
