I wonder if this is at all related to them not having blizcon this year.

Saw some mentions on the forum its mainly the GM department since they have to many GM's now for the amount people ticket.

Something anonymous is going to surface over who was fired where. I thought it was classy of Blizz to at least offer a severance package to those being terminated. Lots of places now just downsize outright.

Good for Blizz. Hell, they didn't even have to wait this long before letting them go. The big hit in number of subscribers happened a while back now.
