As someone who was laid off for 10.5 months a little over two years ago, my sympathies, thoughts, and prayers go out to anyone who loses their job through no fault of their own.
As a fan of D&D, I have a sick feeling in my stomach. I hope that's just an overreaction to what looks like really bad news for the property.
As a fan of D&D, and someone who knows the pain of being laid off, I'm hoping for the best for those released by WoTC today. Good luck, and thank you for your time, efforts, and hard work!
