Both Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy has been laid off too
Well guys. Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy has been consumed by the darkness. As surprising as this sounds. With having future content being lighter and smaller with no major expansions being planned throughout the year, and Destiny 3 being completely cancelled, this company is left with no other choice but to bury itself and this game to the ground. It's sad to see.
The Final Shape expansion received critical acclaim upon launch with good review scores and yet you still decide to lay off 220 people. Unbelievable.
How many more exotic cars are you going to buy after the mass layoffs you've caused Pete? Consider resigning from your position for good!

1 ReplyThere are still luke smith loyalists moderating the forums. I posted the Eurogamer interview he did that made him look extremely creepy and disgusting and it was deleted from this post by someone.

3 RepliesEdited by A_mo: 8/2/2024 2:32:30 AMNo one is going to want to play the PvP now. So the best course of action is probably to let the gameplay shine and make a few new maps, I don't really care who does there's somebody that can do it. Then just let the PvP players occupy the playlists. If there's one thing for sure its that the PvP players kept their eyes on the prize. We played classy restoration, titan comp rift, original stasis and sanctimonium based matchmaking. Since no one is going to want to play it now it should be set up for the people who have proven they will. Those two leaving is really a sign that PvE players are not going have a reason to play PvP. The game really appears to be winding down so just gibby it to the people that have been waiting for it.

Well, I guess it wasn’t a complete loss then.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

To be honest Luke Smith should've been fired when he delivered vanilla D2. It's crazy they let him direct Beyond Light to drop in sunsetting and the DCV before they finally took him off D2. Dude was the loot f**ker upper, he just ruined people's loot

2 RepliesGood reviews doesn't mean good sales, and good sales doesn't mean good reviews. People aren't buying this game and more and more people leave every day. Bungie knows the winning formulas but refuse to use them. Forsaken, Taken King, and Witch Queen prove that Bungie can tell engaging stories with engaging characters. TFS showed that Bungie can do the occasional big moment. But for some reason, after a decade, this -blam!- team can't seem to put it all together at once or they do as many dumb things as smart things. This is the same group that gave us raids, one of the most unique multiplayer experiences in gaming. Then, they do -5 raids/strikes/dungeons or making salvation's edge overly complicated (Verity) for no reason than to make their players quite literally suffer (one dev was literally bragging about how irritating the new strike would be as a GM. Not fun, not challenging. Irritating). Doesn't matter how good your story or even mechanics are if the game doesn't have cohesion and this game has no cohesion.

Luke should have been let go along time ago.

1 ReplyLuke Smith is responsible for champions and their stupid mods. Bye bye Lukey!

Luke Smith was an idiot that started to ruin the game anyway. Better off with him

With how crap the game has been these last few years, there is no loss after losing them incompetent nerds.

Edited by waterpolo1: 8/2/2024 11:26:43 PMPete is the type of guy to get a raid crew together and then kick 220 members out before they get the loot so only he can be the only one to get the Exotic cars. An OG back from the Halo days. A real developer. When Luke Smith was the lead, we all were enjoying the Destiny and the community was less divided. The only one who was mad at him was Datto, cause that loser did not get world's first. Best endgame experience. He pushed to have more customizable subclass with fragments and aspects, instead of the vanilla 3 branch system. He did go for sunsetting, but that we can probably put on Pete since "developers have done nothing wrong" is the mindset anytime people get fired. Mark, his nose was worthy.

Well Luke now has more time to play a “gun collector” game with his kid.

They actually resigned of there own accord And when 2 diehards who used to run Destiny quit , that tells me Bungie is a sinking ship -
Dude he could get a gjallahorn themed porche or a telesto themed motorcycle. He should really get into that

1 ReplyThe head of Sony publicly said he wanted more accountability from Bungie. Doing nothing because your project was scrapped a year ago and collecting a paycheque meant you became disposable.

Destiny 3 was never happening so why are people believing the Destiny spin-off was Destiny 3? Same guy who leaked TFS and content prior basically paints Frontiers as a complete D2 overhaul even to a new engine why do all that when D3 would be made later? Moving a game to a new engine almost requires a complete remake of the game as in making a whole new game

Neither of these figureheads were of any real import for the franchise. TFS narrative lead’s departure last month was more jarring… that said, people are acting like they’ve never witnessed or heard of RIFs or layoffs in technology . My employer has implemented through five significant rounds in the past 3 years- all of which were larger in absolute numbers (some, were as significant relative to company headcount). Not to be polyannish, the franchise isn’t ‘dead’ becuase a standard business decision was made. It’s not ‘unbelievable’ that reductions were made, after the studio recklessly surged their staff to support boondoggle projects like gummy bears.. the prolific ignorance of basic business practices in this community is what’s really ‘unbelievable’

11 RepliesBungie overscaled their work force and had too many projects going at the same time. Do you remember all the job openings on their website two to three years ago? I do. They're basically going to their bread& butter business. They're not collapsing, they're just going back to where they were pre-pandemic.

6 RepliesI read that they resigned. Theres so many different and conflicting stories with the entire thing at this point. Obviously they’re laid off 17 percent of their work force and moved another 15% to another Sony studio. I wouldn’t doubt we are moved to a subscription based game after the episodes are done.
