The way its written made it sound like they are slowly converting to be a support studio.
I donât think so. They are still working Destiny and Marathon, but they laid a bunch of people off, reallocatted some to other SIE studios, and rolled some into a new studio under new management.

I think itâs more about taking control over Bungie.

I did say it sound rather it is or make it as a rumor. Itâs just gave me that sensation of slowly absorbing Bungie into Sony. I know they have Destiny 2, but it is a settled game as in only worry about expansions. Marathon is coming, so thereâs that, though wonder whatâs the progress. Remind me of the rumor of 343i and having Halo being done by another studio. Itâs false, but it could be a reality to one studio. This move does remind me that their earning is coming pretty soon, so this was unfortunately inevitable.

I hope everyone affected can find work soon. As always news like this sucks to hear.
While reading this I got the impression that technically 375 jobs are being terminated at Bungie this time. With 220 being let go, while another 155 are being transfered to other Playstation studios. Or are they insinuating that 155 out of 220 are being transferred?

This is the really disgusting part of it if it applies this round too â benefits only lasting until the end of the month, from the last Bungie layoffs:
âMany employee benefits only last until the end of the month if youâre let go. Laying people off on the 30th means a single day of additional coverage.â

I wouldnât be surprise if Marathon is canceled for Xbox and the reason would be something like âdonât have enough resourcesâ.

Consoles are a part of the platform, and they seem happy having 40 or 50 million out there.

Bungie just got gutted because Destiny wasnât meeting targets and thatâs a game on PC, PS and Xbox

The OG game is BC, Iâd pay an upgrade fee for the remaster but such an option wasnât available. All this idea/plan to remaster this game is so weird, the original game still looks nice and plays well so I donât understand the point on spending so many years on updating a game that didnât need it. We even had indie remasters like Castle Crashers and Mark of the Ninja that were free upgrades.
I really donât understand why this remaster existsâŚespecially without an upgrade option for the existing owners as I said above.

Come on⌠People lost there jobs who had no control over this⌠Nothing fair about loosing your job when youâve done nothing wrong
Oh no. I mean someone to connect with the old post to current status because many did so with Xbox. Itâs only fair another company or in this case, Sony, gets the same flank.

Horizon is about to be a platform at this rate.
The first controller in a while that I didnât like. Itâs just transparent blue. The phantom white was a beauty.
Gotcha. Yes itâs always good to point out bad leadership and broken promises
RIP Bungieâshould have taken the deal with Xbox.
