Layoffs
1900 Staff are being laid off from Xbox across Activision, Blizzard, Zenimax and More.
Mike Ybarra – President and Allan Adham – Co-Founder, leaving (not part of layoffs)
Already had a policy requiring people return to the office which caused some to leave. “Soft layoff”
Everyone working on development for the new “Survival Game” was laid off.
Rocky development, however. Been working on it for 6 years.
Supposedly big cuts in Overwatch and Diablo teams.

Customer Reviews
Fun show!
Nice laid back hosts with good, current WoW info.
Great podcast that's not just for bloggers
I'm a long time listener, and this show has given me insight into blogs and podcasts that i would have never come across other wise. Keep up the great work!
My favorite World of Warcraft podcast
I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started, maybe 6 years ago, discovering it during their first few episodes. They interview World of Warcraft bloggers and podcasters, so you get the unique point of view of someone who spends a lot of time talking about the game - outside of the game.
As someone who has creative endeavors, I always find the interviews inspiration for my own activities, and I’m never upset if the interviews go into the two hour mark. There are a few other World of Warcraft podcasts that I listen to, and I’ve discovered each one because someone from the podcast was a guest on this show.
It’s kid friendly, too, unlike some other podcasts. I really enjoy this on my walk home, it helps clear my mind of all the stuff from work and keeps me company. Thanks Fimlys, Hydra (and Nibuca, and Bree).
