Bungie's layoffs came directly from Bungie, not Sony. Updated Bloomberg article.
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
His follow up tweet sort of contradicts the first, no one thought Sony was replacing bungie with its own people.
If anything Bungie would work better if they were working more closer with other PS studios Lmfao
Lmao what a fucking flub boy.
*Source says it's not Sony's fault.*
Paul Tassi: It might still be Sony's fault
Legend Michael Salvatore...
Sony mandated the cuts (either in costs or headcount) but Bungie decided how to implement them. He was nice enough to clarify/correct himself.
The 48 hour fake outrage period isn’t over yet?
6000 layoffs this year in gaming and now people want Geoff to make a bold statement about it lol

That's actually not half as bad as I was estimating. I thought it was about 300 on the highest end but over 200 on the low.

I mean they have alot of ppl and ppl should have known tht number wouldn't stay tht high. It'll ramp up again when a new game Ramps up.
How long can Destiny last? I do see some people in my friend list who haven’t played anything else since 2016, so maybe forever?

Sony better double down and go back to focusing on those money making campaigns, not having split resources. I wonder what would have been the scenario of Bungie focused on making Destiny 3 instead of this gaas model.

It could last forever and it could be doing way way better than it is...
The key would be to streamline monetization, which is currently out of control.
I think they need to focus on expansions and include the dungeons and everything in the expansion, maybe just increase the base price to 60 instead of 50...and leave it at that.
Have seasons be free for better engagement and just update the eververse seasonally.
