"Blizzard went on to note that its development and publishing schedule has not been impacted by the staff cuts. "

This is easy to say when your publishing schedule is, as it has always been, "When it's done".

Oh, but Blizzard does schedule, of course, it's just that following that schedule is often not their #1 priority. Look at this from back in 2010

(Diablo 3 has already deviated from that, of course) However, even if the cuts are not going to cause schedule changes, that doesn't mean they do not reflect scope changes.
