Mmmmm can anyone taste the corporate greed here? MMMMMMMM DELICIOUS! Its almost like this is direct confirmation of how the 3.6 BILLION is being invested. SO SCRUMPTIOUS! Almost like all that garb stated by Bungo about how the money is so important for the company, improve their games, secure jobs, etc was all a FAT LOAD OF STEAMING -blam!-. Those corporate executives and mouthpieces lying the whole way to the bank. Anyone who supports/believes this joke of a company needs help.

More to this than meets the eye. I run a small business employing seven people, I expanded but had to get rid of two people to keep us afloat in the summer. If I didn't then the other five would have lost their jobs. The two I let go were the least productive, predictably they trotted the out the "corporate greed" line as they slinked off to Reddit to whine about how it's all so unfair while overlooking the fact the other five were covering their end of the business. My five employee's are the heart of my business, but I didn't hesitate to get rid of the dead weight when I had to. Bungie has been needing a swift foot to the rear end for a while now. Lightfall was an utter car crash and it was hard to believe it came from the same studio that made Witch Queen. Difficulty changes no one asked for bar streamers being introduced on a whim resulting in the unbalanced rubbish we see now. PVP neglected and a mess. Has anyone stopped to consider that maybe the reason the Game Director is being so approachable is because their bosses at Sony told them to ?? .. Bungie are part of the machine now. Maybe the fact they seemingly cant launch an expansion on time, look at past releases for proof, has caught them up. Bungie said they would be extending downtime to make updates easier to implement. All that has happened is there is now more downtime, and the game still doesn't run properly after it. Just like when it only took them two hours instead of four. They even managed to annoy an entire community with their woke "Latin X" nonsense. The game is a tired grindy unbalanced mess right now with the most updated part of it the cash shop. And the folks who paid billions for it have the right to step in. They own Bungie. Is it a coincidence that Final Shape is delayed at the same time Bungie is getting a clearout ?? .. I think not. This game has all the ingredients to be a classic yet Bungie ignore the playerbase who don't stream it for a living and nickle and dime everyone at every turn. Sony remember stated they bought Bungie because they look to them as an example of how to run live servce games. Maybe they took a look under the hood and were shocked at what they saw. There is no way they are going to waste 3.6 billion. Some big changes are coming at Bungie. As for the likes of Hippy whining on Twitter about being let go. Boo hoo. Your company were making emblems supporting the organisation whose supporters were burning down inner cities, people's homes and businesses three years ago. Didn't see any sympathy for those folks coming from any Bungie employees back then. Get on with it. I lost my career as a pilot recently, walked in for my medical fit and healthy and was diagnosed with a heart condition that stopped my career in it's tracks. So be it. On to the next thing. I made what was a small business a bigger one and, after a few bumps in the road, things are looking good. This clearout might just be what Destiny needs.

I lived through the taken king-rise of iron drought. You guys will be fine. Here’s a hint: [spoiler]play another game.[/spoiler]

The last dlc will be delayed by 18 months. What a joke, lol.

Bungie didn’t lay them off, those c u c ks at Sony did.

Still no official response from Bungie. That's crazy.

Oh so the 5 guys that still work on this game finally gon lose their jobs? Turns out Sony isn't a real publisher and will hurt the title more than it could ever help? I wonder how could that happen The last group of people that think delay means good launch is the cyberpunk2077 community, I can't recall a single game over the past decade that presented a decent launch after delay, it never is about more time to polish, it just means something seriously disrupted your schedule and the studio is on damage control to make the game less bad But if there's one thing I've learned from this community it's their will to keep believing in Bungie

Elon Musk must be the final boss 🫡

I seen this coming since lightfall ,didnt think it woud drop until after the final shape. But the game has been on the rocks for some time now. To many nerfs killed the game.

I don't care if it's delayed as long as it's good. Enough churning out half-functional assembly line garbage, it's the final expansion. If ever there was a time to over-deliver, it's now.

MICHAEL SALVATORI WAS LAYED OFF. ITS SO OVER

Remember when they said Bungie purchase and being paid an EXTRA 1.6 BILLION for TALENT RETENTION... Won't have any restructuring or lead to lay offs... That sir.. was a lie. Imagine being paid 1.6 Billion to keep your staff but then lay them off...

I love how we hear about this from Bloomberg- was there any official word on this?

I guess they should have over delivered to keep players happy and playing the game. Maybe they will roll back the price increases and give out dungeons back to part of the year release like they used to be. I know many who quit playing because of all the price increases.

Real question is, will bungie add more seasons to cover the game until final shape and will we have to pay for them?

Sony is gonna take Bungie. I've been seeing the markers for awhile. I predict Sony will make both franchises a Sony console exclusive after the Final Shape.
