Yeah, MTG twitter is really mad about it, but people at WoTC often have fairly narrow skillsets, so I would not be surprised that at some point they want to rebalance the set of skills that they have access to to do something different.

I found out they fired a community manager... and I had no idea who that person was without a bunch of googling, which tells you a bit about how effective that spending was for wotc.

Not to say that I think wotc corporate is at all infallible, they are clearly not very good at doing anything besides designing the cards themselves, and even then, they have largely inherited a very good game rather than really doing anything amazing.

Wotc could really use a shake up that raises the standards of what they produce to the level of eg riot games, but that's unlikely to happen any time soon.
