LOL. All this overly simplistic childlike narrative does is give Bungie an excuse for years of merely above average and not great content. I left D2 for great games. D2 is above average with marketing making silly over the top promises. Bungie has been over promising and under deivering since leaving Activision. Activision kept Bungie in line. If leaders and management are total idiots then they've also hired poorly. So if management is bad then so are the workers. | ||

IGN appears to be backing his claims up. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1biukuu/good_article_from_ign_that_has_some_interesting/' Final Shape is looking more and more do or die for Bungie, apparently people with knowledge of Bungie's financials have said there are some big gaps and that Final Shape needs to do well enough to cover them so that people can move on to their other projects and get it out of the door. That new IP matter was cancelled, there was a new project started with a similar idea but different direction that was also cancelled. Their MOBA game is also in a holding pattern (probably due to the current situation) The most interesting piece of news, a lot of Bungie's senior leadership is expected to leave in Summer 2026 when the final payout from the acquisition comes out. https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-shakes-up-marathon-leadership-removes-chris-barrett-as-game-director | ||

I do not want to hear any whining, pissing, and moaning from Bungie about Steam. Bungie can stick their game on the Battle.Net client, on Playstation's client.. there are a million vendors. Shut up and pick one. Quit marching out employees pretending to be the players' friend. These are well paid salesmen working for a multibillion dollar corporation. Their job is to sell a product to millions of people that will make hundreds of millions of dollars. The guy with the console cheats working for Bungie is not a players' friend. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1bj3q0o/the_toxicity_towards_bungie_has_gotten_egregious/ I do not want to hear any whining from Bungie about their employees getting abused. Bungie set their employees up for this. On March 20 2024 22:50 {CC}StealthBlue wrote: Well....

LOL. before my rebuttal: thx for posting the IGN article it is informative. IGN is not really a legit source for in depth thorough analysis though. IGN did provide a good fact about a lot of people leaving in Summer 2026 though. What Aztecross got was so vague that it can "fit together" with any other article that contains details about exactly how Bungie is falling to pieces. Someone is clowning Aztecross and it could easily be someone from IGN. Aztecross' video reminded me of a George W. Bush "blanket alert to all citizens about a possible terror threat" in early 2003. W. had no details of any kind... it was just an "alert". It was hilarious that everyone just swallowed it like gospel truth. IGN also has some facts incorrect. Ziegler has been with BUngie for 9 months. In the article it is framed as though Barrett just got removed from Marathon and Ziegler just replaced him recently. They even try to dig in if Barrett got fired. | ||

This is awesome! For any one planning on going to a 2.5 hour movie this weekend... watch this instead. It is riveting and well worth binge watching! Like all movies they form part of a cinematic universe spanning several epic experiences. Here is Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 Part 2 I can't wait for the next installment! | ||

Its hilarious that Sony/Bungie claimed a 45% short fall in " PROJECTED " revenues. They did this to let the media paint a picture that the studio is in financial dire straits. Somehow the franchise and studio were in grave danger... once again. LOL. And yet, Destiny2 is the #1 revenue maker on Steam. Super misleading and fraud by Bungie. Of course, over the years, Bungie has told massive lies and committed fraud on a massive scale a few times. So this should be no shock. The BS stories Bungie has spun about the state of the game, its development, and their company over the past 10 years has been more entertaining than the BS Bungie cranks out for the lore of Destiny2. | ||

There's new reporting that Bungie was basically insolvent when Sony acquired them: https://www.ign.com/articles/former-bungie-worker-claims-studio-faced-insolvency-without-sony-acquisition-report It's such a travesty that so many people are laid off because they're doing so many projects...that aren't even released. | ||

They would not have those jobs unless they were working on all those various incubation projects not related to Destiny2. Bungie and its employees tried to expand the company by a massive amount and failed. Joe Blackburn knew this was coming and got out while he could. When all the Community Managers ran and hid Joe stood his ground and would not blink in front of a hostile crowd. Dude is a bad ass//cabron. | ||

You mean that new thing they develop with the O2 masks? Pretty sure thats gonna be a miss for me. Besides, with extraction shooters it's the same as it was with battle royal: Too many tried taking something from the cake too fast. It got oversaturated incedible quickly and these days the players number have gone down significantly. They should rather work on Destiny 3 IMO. Maybe with a new setting or sth. | ||

I mean there are massive layoffs while Bungie Boss Pete Parsons recently bought luxury cars worth over 2.5kk $ What is wrong with people and why would new hires join such a messed up garbage can to work on vaporware projects. why would you work for a company that has 1300 people living off of 1 game the size of Destiny. Warframe has 200 employees working on it. They work in the industry. Don't these people have any economic common sense? Bungie was a year late with D1. They were a year late with D2. They had a constant ongoing feud with ATVI over late release dates and project scope. Each new expansion under their own banner and under Sony came later and later every year. Late, late, late. They took too long to develop a new game so they don't have enough revenue to pay for 1300 people. I am shocked and chagrined! LOL. | ||
