Mass Bungie Layoffs Draw Fury From ‘Destiny 2’ Fans, Past And Present Employees

Quick Summary:

Bungie worked tirelessly to release The Final Shape, which ended up being its best expansion to date and delivered on every front.

It was too much, as leadership wanted Bungie to be Blizzard or BioWare with a number of huge, high profile series running simultaneously, but clearly there was no plan in place to actually make that work.

Bungie announced yesterday it would lay off 220 employees, 17% of the company, move 155 to roles within Sony Interactive Entertainment and take ~40 or so and create a new sub-studio under Sony for a new game.
