Bungie announces "a reduction in force"
"Following our final content update to Destiny 2, and with our future projects still in early incubation, we unfortunately could not continue operating at our previous size." Yeah there’s this idea that they’re going to “turn Marathon into Destiny” which is essentially impossible. I think PvE aspects could be cool, but we’re talking about the equivalent of like, a seasonal activity. Not an insult, it just is never gonna fill the hole A "significant" number of layoffs have hit Bungie, including most of the Destiny team and some Marathon devs, says SIE CEO Hermen Hulst:
"Over the past several months, together with Bungie leadership, we reviewed the studio's long-term direction, development priorities, resource needs, and role within our broader portfolio strategy. We explored multiple alternatives before concluding that a reduction was necessary to align the studio's resources with its current priorities and long-term goals" "most of the Destiny team" is impacted...
I don't know how there could be a future for Destiny when the people who know how to make a Destiny game are being kicked to the curb.
Terrible stuff. “most of the Destiny team” are being impacted by today’s layoffs at Bungie, according to an internal memo from Sony’s PlayStation studio chief Herman Hulst. “Some Marathon team members” are also being cut, as well as “reductions across SIE teams that support Bungie’s operations.”
