The entire industry has been hit pretty hard lately, with MMORPG's and online sales helping gaming stores go under and several other companies either closing down, or severely reducing staff (Green Ronin and AEG for example). WotC fired their brand manager for D&D, Magic the Gathering sales are down enormously, etc. The D20 bubble is bursting and the entire industry is going through some pretty heavy housecleaning.
