Mike Mearls (who I think did a great job getting 5e into life) has not worked on the D&D RPG for ages. MtG sets and liaison with 3rd party computer games company is not development.Dan Dillon is pretty new to the team, it is not like that is a decade of D&D experience on the D&D game gone. The rest are auxiliary staff. All are important but they are just part of the team. The current cut does not look that extreme or close to 20% for Hasbro. Maybe when the next set is done and released there will be wave 2 as a bunch more are not needed anymore, but right now I don’t see much direct damage to the team.I have not liked the product the current team has released the last few years. I am running the new Phandelver right now and I think the changes they made to the original made it a worse adventure. The books the last 3 years pretty much were skim read and put on my shelf with only a few subclasses being used.I think the discussion is a little hyperbolic compared to the actual actions. Sucks for the individuals involved but I am sure they can find a new gig fast enough. At least the developers, not sure about the others.</blockquote>
