The HGC cost less than 2 million per year to produce, if margins are tight enough that they need to cut 2 million and hope to strangle $ out of HOTS while laying off 50+ employee's abruptly and taking a huge hit to sentiment then there is something to worry about. (The players had blizzard word that their jobs were secure in 2019 as of the past 2 weeks)

This is less about the eSport shit and more about the game being dead and them taking the devs to work on new games. They were wasting resources with all those devs working on a game with 0 growth. Sentiment its completely worthless in gaming, otherwise companies like EA and Activision would be long gone. All those kids forget this shit in a couple years when some new game comes out.
