^{I don't know much about Reddit to be honest, not how sure to insert the clip here, link taken out of WP's video.}

This has to be seen, it's somehow relieving and sad, knowing that so much could've come out of it but at the same time feeling deceived, I don't know, just my opinion.

Transcript by /u/Lon-ami ^thanks!

I cannot critique or be upset about whatever decisions were made that said "okay this has to happen".

What I can say is that my feelings are that Guild Wars 2 is going to do well, its gonna do great, its got key people that are still there, as far as I know, that really drove the vision of the game and the quality, and the renewed focus on Guild Wars 2, because we were not incredibly focused as a studio, we were trying to do lots of things, that's just a publicly known thing, I don't know, I'm not breaking NDA here, we're trying to do lots of things, I can't say what those things were.

The focus that's gonna come out of this will be good for Guild Wars 2, as a game. I'm fairly confident about that.

Whether this is for the studio and longterm future, that I'm not so sure.

I mean it's obviously never a good sign when a studio does that. But, you know, I know plenty people who work at studios that have gone through it and came out, out of the end, you know, better for it, is that appropiate after I lay a bunch of people off?
