My heart goes out to the those involved in the layoffs. If it was anyone from ESO, thanks for all your hard work giving us all such wonderful entertainment. I hope everyone involved lands on their feet, and is somewhere they're appreciated.
I really do worry about the game's future. Any assurance about future plans and commitments to them is going to be doubted, because Microsoft could just rip the rug out from under them. And even if those plans are still in place, what's the impact of staffing changes to them?
For me, it's been pretty obvious there's less hands involved in ESO for a 2 or 3 years now. Really feeling it this year. I think folks like @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom need to work with leadership and just give us some transparency on what's going on. I think not doing that will be worse for the game.
