It also struck at Microsoft’s Xbox division when the Project Manager for Digital Products at Wizards of the Coast, Joseph Batten murdered his estranged wife, Melissa Batten, a Software Development Engineer in Test (and Harvard Law School graduate) and then killed himself. I got this on my Destructoid feed.
Apparantly it all began after the former Microsoft employee Joseph discovered that his wife had an affair, obtained a gun, and threatend to kill himself. This part of the story was discovered after further research on the Seattle Times.
