How come they fired the whole team and then started posting game promos on YouTube right afterwards lol

They fired the devs, not marketing /s

Maybe they wanted to give the Marketing department a raise

How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…
