This is just a hotbed of hate. Locking the thread.
-
Sony doesn’t give a -blam!- about destiny. That isn’t why they bought Bungie
-
They [i]nerfed[/i] their staff
-
I'm ok with it being delayed but having people being laid off being the reason for the delay is BS. These are people jobs we're talking about here. I'm just hoping all of this isn't true
-
Hopefully everyone lands on their feet and it’s honestly happening industry wide. If any impacted are reading this, we are rooting for ya.
-
What happens when u deal with Sony🤡

If it is delayed until June and this is October, that's 8 months. So I'm just going to take a shot at this, I'm sure that all of the employees that were not effective were the big bosses, but all the developers and some of the maintenance crew, art, and story line developers, the pvp crew is probably scrapped, have all lost their jobs so there is no one there to make anything, there might even be more of a delay cause they might change it from what they have shown us. But who knows for sure Bungie nor sony is going to say anything about this because we're on a need to know basis and we don't need to know is how they will treat it. But since it will be 8 months until final shape this is a possibility of what might have happened.

Edited by Wheelaa1: 10/31/2023 12:00:58 AMIt's the circle of greed. Sony bought Bungo as they wanted to learn / understand / leverage all the greed based knowledge that Bungo have gained over the last few years. (I could have told them in three words...addicts are idiots...) And now some of those learnings are being put into practice. The first of which is don't spend any money where you don't have to. So..au revoir Bungie community manager and co-lead of accessibility, au revoir Bungie social media lead, au revoir associate franchise editor, and au revoir publishing producer and event manager. And so on. https://www.eurogamer.net/destiny-2-developer-bungie-latest-playstation-studio-to-be-hit-by-layoffs Yeah, sucks for them. But cutting those roles would have been one of the easiest decisions Sony have ever made.

Be honest: How could you not see this after the atrocity of the August State of the Game? The backlash was nuclear… actually it was atomic. I like that word better… aaaaaatoooommmmiiiic. Yeah 😁
-
Sony Nerfed Bungie
-
Honestly, you may want to take a look at those who were laid off because destiny looks like it's under the hands of devs having no idea what they're doing
-
Exactly what happened at Bioware.... Sony has control over labor budgets, reports are... they forced the cuts.

"I'm good at all positions, thank you" - old
I agree. It's absolutely heartbreaking. -
The fact that some of those employees hot laid off and the people who did that don’t realize those workers could have families actually too and show how cruel it is honestly that they were also trying to feed those families is even more crazy It comes to show that this id also the Activision incident all over again basically
-
easy fix ! quit forever .best option /they dont care about comunity ,its only about money . wake up ..to many years in this game and still the same .
-
I'm fine with delays, but the supposed reason for the delay is just nasty. This is industry wide too which is worse.. So many people just getting dropped.
-
Just more victims of bad management. Record player counts with lightfall. Huge sums of money from netease and sony (1 billion of which was specifically for retaining employees) and they’re still laying off departments. What a shame.
-
I don't.
-
Agreed. I give grief but it still luv this game.
-
The truth is the closer we get to the end of destiny, people are gonna be laid off. Marathon already has a full team. They don't need every single dev on payroll anymore.
-
Why am I here?
-
Im honestly just so tired of this game and this company. I really hope Final Shape is actually good or im just gonna call it quits.
-
It is really sad for those poor people being let go. I feel for them, especially with xmas just around the corner. It does sound like the company was a bit bloated and overstaffed in non productive areas, which would be doubly problematic with Sony already having departments that do those things. Despite the logic behind it all it still sucks balls. Always profits savings, every where you go. Worlds fubar.
-
But what if its people that are advocates for the super social justice warrior agenda and sony is like either cut back or get the hammer and they didn’t yield so the hammer came down. I feel thats what it boils down to.
-
It's not the talented devs & other worker bees at Bungie that this should be happening to. It's the greedy rich upper brace management. Super sad to see. Even those that I've disagreed with in the past from this studio don't deserve losing their jobs during the holidays. I wish everyone the best of luck.
