Kotaku 报导解答了我为什么认为八版有很多东西像是半成品的疑惑。
让我们来看看这一段：
Much of Blizzard's cost-cutting has gone unreported until recently, but it's
been a consistent theme throughout 2018 at the Irvine, California-based studio
behind mega-hits like Overwatch and World of Warcraft. One Blizzard program,
for example, is called Career Crossroads. It offers healthy severance packages
to people who voluntarily take buyouts and choose to leave the company. At
first, Career Crossroads was designed for veteran customer service
representatives who had been at Blizzard for more than five years, but this
year, it opened up to QA and IT, according to one person familiar with the
program. Blizzard has also lowered the number of years required to take a
buyout, opening up Career Crossroads to even more employees, likely in hopes of
increasing those numbers.
直到现在；大多数暴雪降低营运成本的讯息都没被公开报导；
但2018一整年，负责 OW 与 WOW 开发工作的加州 Irvine 办公室内，这是公开的秘密。
‘Career Crossroads’的优退方案就是暴雪政策其中之一。
它提供了优渥的条件给那些自愿离职的员工，最初 Career Crossroads 是专门为那些
在暴雪内任职超过五年以上的客服人员所设计的优退方案，但是在今年（2018）
这项方案扩大使用范围给 QA 与 IT 部门。暴雪也开始调降优退方案的年资门槛；
意味着上层希望利用这项措施，精简人事成本。
