Coincidentally one of the companies Unity acquired did the exact same thing when I worked for them, many years ago. It was absolutely brutal for morale, something I've never seen at any other job before or since. Layoffs multiple wee

Yeah, that's how I feel about early WoW too (vanilla/TBC), it just was how it was then, and that'll never happen again. Gotta love it where it was, and remember those good experiences. It was a really cool time to be a game

Hearing stories like this over the years is why I always wear the seatbelt during the entirety of any flight... Just one of those small things that could make all the difference in a sudden emergency situation.
