I thought it was a coincidence when one of my buddies noted he was out of a job on Facebook, but then it happened again, and again.

Finally got linked to this: http://m.pcgamer.com/2012/12/04/ncsoft-undergoing-realignment

"NCsoft is realigning internal publishing resources to better suit the needs of our game development studios," Davis told PC Gamer. "As a result of the realignment, several employees and contract positions were affected. This was a very tough decision to make and wish the best for all NCsoft employees in their next ventures.” Davis didn't elaborate on the extent of the restructure nor of any possible effects to Guild Wars 2.

One of my buddies referred to it as "more of an implosion than a realignment" when I pressed him for details. Another was set to sign the papers on a new house today.

Merry Christmas!

Hope ppl come out of this ok :-(

Like clockwork, every year around Christmas we hear about studios doing layoffs.

Best of luck to those affected.

Interesting to see this happen immediately after the City of Heroes shutdown.

Surprising, and it's the offices of the Guild Wars 2 team? I thought the game was doing well. Conforts me in not paying anything in GW2 shop and not investing too much time in that game either : /
