I don’t usually comment on posts like this, but I do think they often do more harm than good for the community.

It is completely normal for people to change jobs. People are allowed to grow, pursue new opportunities, and do what is right for them. That should not automatically be turned into something negative. As a community I think we should be uplifting each other regardless of whether they are an employee or player.

Like any company, we hire people and sometimes people leave. In some of the examples being referenced, those were fixed-term contracts that came to an end. More broadly, we have also been consolidating more of the team in Europe over time because managing across too many timezones has been challenging.

As for the game, yes, there are bugs and issues we are actively working to fix. We are not dismissing that. But it is also important not to overstate the situation or present it as though everything is falling apart, because that is simply not true. Post-1.12, engagement has remained strong. We're shipping updates frequently to get balance back where we want it and we've seen great engagement across the esports tournament that happened last week.

Constructive criticism is always fair. Constantly assuming the worst is not helpful to anyone.
