With coffee and writing implements at hand, I can determine the shape of today. |
| So here is Monday, the most dreaded day of the week. On the itinerary are Dad's eye treatment and various other errands. However, compared with what some are facing today you won't find me grumping about it. ArenaNet, the company that brings Guild Wars 2 to the world, is apparently about to have some serious layoffs. This news broke late last week when someone privy to the info went running to a popular gaming website with the information. The result was a lot of Anet employees learning of this through panicked tweets and other third-party sources. Awkward, to say the least, because management was forced to 'fess up and confirm this is indeed the case. Looks like the decision is coming from NCSoft, Anet's parent company. Since then there have been a number of troubling signs from Seattle, such as the Friday livestream that never came off (it was three hours before it was even officially cancelled, much to the annoyance of the people waiting for it). I'm not going to speculate on how this will affect the game's future, though I can't see how it won't. I had already decided a year ago that GW2 is going to be my last game, period. Gaming is great fun, but it's expensive and time-consuming...and for me, that time is better spent reading and writing. especially writing. I'll remain in my pixelated playground as long as I can, but after that I'll be busy making worlds of my own. In the meantime...the day calls. |
