Bungie Lays Off Over 200 Employees, Announces Plans For Deeper Integration With Sony - Game Informer
Bungie Lays Off Over 200 Employees, Announces Plans For Deeper Integration With Sony - Game Informer
This marks the second round of mass layoffs in under a year.
It's no surprise that Bungie were going to end up worse under Sony.
Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.
I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.
Yup. Sony scammed themselves really with that one.
Destiny 2 is hard to get into as a new player, they kind of deleted all the initial story, so you kind of just get thrown in at the end now. Bungie never knew what to do with that game, they changed stuff randomly and could never decide what system they wanted.
The thing is though, it's a very fun and fluid shooter, the core gameplay is some of the best out there, it just sucks the content gets repetitive and the DLCs are all overpriced.
Basically..... "We're going to be selling out more and won't fight Sony managing us more"
Too bad Bungie, shouldn't have had Joe Blackburn purposely break play styles and made tasks grindier in Lightfall because players didn't provide enough "engagement" (playing longer)
I miss when bungie made halo. Bring back that bungie.
