This really sucks for those involved. Everyone is bringing up the CEO's bonus, which is also ridiculous, but I'm also extremely skeptical of everything going on now that
Blizzard is partnered with NetEase. All of this happening right off the heels of these developments + the Diablo Immortal controversy just makes me
really skeptical of other companies with Tencent and NetEase partnerships, as these shifts in market focus also probably come with some hefty leadership changes and investor goal changes. I'd assume there's a fair amount of jobs cut due to the roles taken on overseas, but I might be wrong about that.
Hope the best for everyone who has been laid off.
