If the layoffs earlier this year are any indication, they might be cutting their non-english product support staff. With the art being contracted (and the artists retaining rights to sell full version in miscellaneous products) and the fact that they release a ridiculous amount of product, I don’t think they’d be able to cut design and play testing staff.
1100 layoffs and they don’t use in house artists? I find that hard to believe but you might be right.
