DomoSapien: Folks, as a reminder: please keep discussions civil and
politics-free.
Something I would like to personally ask you all to consider: Software and Hardware are replaceable. People are not. We have an amazing team of talented individuals working in Minsk, and while it's easy to say 'you guys should do x' or 'you guys should do y' - the safety and well-being of our team is an utmost priority. It's not quite as simple as shuffling some stuff around and assigning different staff to the product - or shipping a hard drive with the latest build to a different location where we can upload it to the live servers.
There is a pool of talent, knowledge, professional and personal relationships with our colleagues in Minsk, and all of that is extremely important to us. Something you see pretty often on our forums and in our community is this 'us vs. them' mentality when talking about WGA Publishing vs. the Dev Team in Minsk; this is a good opportunity to remind ourselves that there no 'us' and 'them' - we are all part of the same organization, and as much as I hate corporate slogans, we used to throw around #OneTeam internally pretty often - and there is certainly quite a bit of truth to it.
Our colleagues in Minsk are not just our colleagues. They are our friends and family. Firing them all and reassigning their jobs to other people due to circumstances outside of their control would be completely unacceptable.
