At least they're laying people off a month before Christmas.
The D&D brand hasn't generated a ton of profit in the last year, I'd be surprise if they didn't try and trim.
Do you think so? The number of DDI subscribers speak a different language IMHO. We also don't know about the income stream generated by projects like the online games. Are they really trimming teh departement "due to economical reasons" or are they preparing the brand for sale?
In September I wrote as reaction to the Dungeon and Dragon hiatus:
[QUOTE;Jan van Leyden]So they're stopping the articles, which in turn means no work whatsover will be done for the tools; they we're doing updates for the sparse contents of Dungeon and Dragon anyway.
So we don't have a release announcement for D&DN.
Let's see what the December lay-offs will bring this year.
With this turn of events I'm extremely sceptical right now. There are so many signs of a project dying...[/QUOTE]
