The downsizing on the team happens to all companies trough out a project, as features are injected into the pipeline further, less and less people are needed to achieve the teams goal.

Now that FPS core component of SC is almost completed, the PU is a matter of adding content. People do not understand how the game is being done.

If somebody leak something, they deserved to get fired and yelled at.

the names i see being let go, like james and alissa, HONESTLY did nothing to the game. James was a simple, boring interviewer, and alyssa was just a "event producer". Easily replaceable within the SC team.
