Because they can.. what have you done for me lately. I.e. unless your tied to a UPCOMING money making project.... Your not needed.

Probably just using current market uncertainty to clean house of expensive people.

Wizards is a subsidiary of Hasbro, doesn't matter how good they do in the open market. They have internal politics. So somebody has an OKR... to trim the fat. Make the numbers go up to the right.
