4 RisposteThe golden parachutes for the higher ups that kept their jobs by firing the devs.
-
From what I heard, to the shareholders
-
2 RisposteThe money went to the owners of shares and investors. Why is almost every single person here an economic illiterate?
-
Itt went to the shareholders
-
I don’t know where it all went but I bet a crap load of it went into their new HQ. I’ve just seen a few pics of the inside and it’s a little ridiculous.

I mean its no surprise that nothing of it went into D2 development right? The game runs on an ancient engine, netcode etc. Obviously D2 was written off a while ago already with a set plan to slowly let it die and cut down quantity aswell as quality of the active development team working on D2. As soon as they announced multiple upcoming Bungie games, i knew D2 is done. They keep doing the bare minimum to fool the addicts into believing the game is still alive and ongoing. Thats not enough for me and many others tho.

8 RisposteModificato da Shark_Shank: 10/31/2023 9:54:12 PMmost of it went to the previous owners, compensation for their ownership rights to the company. 1.2 was meant for staff retention, but who TF knows where that went after they fired 8 percent of the company So in short, you are right, none of it went to the studio, it was never meant to

1 RispondiShareholders ... Bungie is just like any other corporation, y'all still looking at them like they're some small indie studio.

1 RispondiIt went towards aspirations. Are people really that blind? It is not greed, it is wanting to be bigger and better while only having one game active. Bungie kept destiny alive to try and pay the bills for their goals. Bungie had a department for EVERYTHING. I see the question “why did they fire the composers?!” Why did Bungie have composers on their bankroll?! Bungie wants to be a major development company making several ips. The only problem with all of this is that Bungie was building a kingdom with no bricks. Just destiny. Instead of saying everything negative, look at everything they were doing. Multi-million dollar headquarters. 1200 Developers, composers, marketing, lawyers, community teams, quality control teams… etc etc etc. They created jobs. They bit off far more than they could manage. It is just mistakes from management with huge aspirations. Nobody goes out and does all the above with any evil intent. All Bungie did wrong with destiny is get lost on what they thought was wanted while trying to cheaply budget content that was easier to make so that they could build another AAA franchise. They did not make destiny fun and fresh… They pushed challenges of which draws out content of which made the game a slog and try to come up with a hamster wheel through copy and paste content to generate revenue. They listened to people they should not have instead of paying attention to numbers. Fomo, “were you there when…” moments, forced metas, and trying to over complicate raids and dungeons all for content creators to have content. And no, content creators are not to blame… But the chase to try and give them content that challenged them pushed away the general player base. I truly believe and hope that every person throwing stones never really succeeds with any aspirations of their own… because how they are acting, just tells you they will not be able to handle failure in life. This should be a wake up call. A dose of humility goes a long way.

We've gone over where it went 10000s of times. The purchase amount ALL went to shareholders. Bungie never saw Amy of that money.

7 RisposteWhy would Sony pay 3.6 billion for something and then somehow be able to use that to "go into the studio" they paid 3.6 billion for?
-
None of your business... Same as if someone asked you how much you make and what do you spend it on.

3 RisposteEver seen The Wolf of Wall Street?
-
-blam!-, cocaine, private jets and a lot of booze lol

Apparently 1.Something of those billion was for workforce retention... kinda wondering where THAT specific money went to.
-
It’s still there, they haven’t purchased any yachts yet
-
Jason Jones? If there's a lesson learned here kids, it's to learn to program code. Gabe Newell will tell you...

What do you think the witness is burning to make all that smoky stuff come out their head ? By the look if it anything left over was stuffed into Nimbus trousers.

The purchase money was paid to Bungie’s shareholders. In other words the early investors, senior employees, and management got paid.
