Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron_Chef" data-source="post: 950845" data-attributes="member: 4530">Well, that was lovely. And a big warm hello to you, too, mister.I theorized that maybe the "big names" were let go since WoTC had to "chop x number of heads" and thought the "big names" might be more problematic to retain, despite their proven ability. How is this kind of seeming (il)logic so hard to understand coming from a corporation, when corporations are rarely known for making decisions in the best interest of their consumers or employees all the time? Why not fire the people who helped make you rich? It's their fault for not owning a piece of the pie. You can always try to find more creative types later, ones who will work for peanuts while you get richer. And then you fire them, and move on. You own everything, so screw 'em. Creative types are a dime a dozen. It's all about stockholder's meetings and boardrooms, and how many estates and frikkin' yachts you own.It's all about money and control. Saying a corporation (subsidiary or not) isn't willing to sacrifice certain talents in order to retain greater control and pinch a few pennies is hardly "stupid." Does it suck? Is it mean-spirited? Maybe, but welcome to capitalism and corporate America, where everybody gets the shaft sooner or later (unless you're rich enough to be relatively unaffected by other people's screw-ups and shaft-jobs, which are happening more and more frequently and to greater effect, every day). *cough* Enron. *cough* indigestible plastic fiber instead of real cream filling in Hostess snack foods. * cough*</blockquote>
