Sad News: Murder/Suicide at Wizards of the Coast and Microsoft

This is just a horrible story. An X-Box developer was shot by her husband, who was Senior Manager of Digital Products (D&D Insider and Magic Online) at Wizards of the Coast.

Story at Kotaku

My condolences go out to everyone on both teams.

Hopefully everyone will keep this in mind over the next few weeks in their online dealings with the DDI team. Things have been pretty contentious, but now is not the time to worry about a game, but to strengthen the relationships that really matter…those of our family and friends. That includes the people who work hard to give us excellent games to play.

    Of course they get a break from the critiques…

    Gah!

    “Like this post? Leave a tip!”

    Probably not the most appropriate tagline I’ve ever seen………!

    Sad news indeed. Just goes to show that people are people too.

    Well, it’s at the bottom of every post I make…regular readers will certainly note that. ;)

    Such violence is so senseless.
