Despidos en el personal de WOTC

[Tel Arin]

Llega la crisis a WOTC, sea porque Hasbro manda recortes o temas de otra indole. Se ha sabido hoy que se han cargadop algunos nombres ilustres de los ultimos años en Wizards.

Desde Enworld, gracias a Lisa Stevens  (Staff de Paizo) se filtra que se han cargado a:

Randy Buehler (VP of digital gaming)
Andrew Finch (director of digital games)
Stacy Longstreet (senior art director)
Julia Martin (editor)
William Meyers (creative manager, digital design)
Dave Noonan (game designer)
Jennifer Paige (online community manager)
Jennifer Powers (marketing)
Jonathan Tweet (game designer)

Y lo ha confirmado Dave Noonan, jefe (ahora ex-jefe) de diseño de WOTC para D&D4

Thanks for the kind words, folks. They mean a great deal. And my wife was reading over my shoulder, and they cheered her up _immensely_.

I can confirm the essential truth of what's been reported, and I am indeed one of the ones let go today. When you're in the midst of the process, you don't really get a sense of what's going on elsewhere in the building. Thus I didn't know some of the names until I read them here. They're quality people. In a weird way, I'm proud to be among them. (I'd rather be employed, sure, but you take the solace you can at a moment like this.)

I'll leave the prognosticating and "...but what does this MEAN?!?" stuff to others. I think the game is in good shape--and I think it's in good hands. In my 10 years at Wizards, I survived a lot of these layoffs--including cuts deeper than this. More to the point for you guys, the _game_ survived deeper cuts than this.

Maybe I didn't say this enough when I was part of "the Man," but the ENWorld community is absolutely terrific. The level of discourse here continues to be top-notch, and there's always an interesting thread sitting right there, begging to be read. But if you're already a regular here, you've already figured that out, huh?

--David Noonan, who should probably get a new user name.

Mi madre, pues no he traducido articulos de estos tipos para D&D4, eran los caballos de batalla de WOTC para D&D4 por asi decirlo...
