Destiny may only last until marathon comes out, now. The game is all but dead if Sony took over. It haemorrhages cash - Sony probably can’t wait to shut it down and steal the talent.

  • Well it does make sense. Take the talent to other more important projects and milk destiny a bit more whilst marathon is in the works than if marathon fails gut rest of studio and just take the financial loss and move on. I have a feeling bungie are very in the red

I have a feeling bungie are very in the red[/quote] There’s probably conditions in the acquisition of Bungie by Sony on the release of marathon that are staggering this whole thing… When marathon is released all the top execs get bonuses- that’s already been confirmed by kotaku - when the execs are gone and the talent is picked over what’s going to be left? Not discounting that these are real people - but to a business your worth is subjective, unfortunately The windfall of the final shape was probably also factored into the sale of Bungie…with the full knowledge that cuts were coming immediately afterwards…
