Blizzard Releases Nearly 600 Employees to the into the Heart Mists of the Pandaria Swarm

I had a better joke for this... I swear.

Blizzard Entertainment had a group of suits conduct a review on their business and it was announced today that upon the final review the company is reducing its workforce globally. Before the hysterics begin the company anticipates that 90% of the affected employees are not from within the game development departments. While they have released about 600 employees, Blizzard is looking for about 150 more to fill open job positions of all kinds. This isn’t the end of Blizzard. Or Diablo 3.

She has a serious addiction; an illness if you may, of loving ridiculous games. She has been through an extensive digital rehabilitation, but we fear her addiction is surfacing again.
