Destiny 2 is getting its final content update, but Bungie’s announcement was only the clean version. Staff reports now point to no Destiny 3 in development, no greenlit successor, looming layoffs, and a studio that kept even its own people in the dark until the end.

Massive Profits = Layoffs Massive Loss= Layoffs The illusion of choice
the state of "gaming" is so p_ss poor that i now spend more time watching videos like this about how bad they are than actually playing anything new. it's as if they want to fail.
Destiny 2 died so Marathon could die slowly.
Interesting how that “golden parachute” perk comes with the bonus of screwing over everyone else on the way down.
Holy shit. Corporate waste is so insane
Hilarious how these big corporations have issues that small teams just simply dont have. Big corps are so gigantic and separated from their workforce that they have to beg their own workforce to figure out internal issues.
Pete Parsons murdered this company.
Looks like Bungie's destiny isn't to run the whole marathon...
There's a lesson here about not turning a fanbase against your only hope of survival.
Bungie says "there are no plans to turn off the servers" - they are _totally going to turn off the servers_
Having played the original Marathon, I have no idea what the heck this reboot of it is...
Every week in this industry we're seeing levels of mismanagement never thought possible before
I see the “never over deliver to the consumer” motto of Bungie is working well
Can I remind everyone that according to Bungie, the game changed so much they are unable to restore old content during lawsuit for plagiarism.
if bungie, as a studio, exists past 2027...i will be beyond amazed. Sony will either shut it down and roll the devs into other studios, or just cut and run.
It's poetic irony that Shattered Cycle was scrapped
Marathon should have just been a mode in D2 lol
Sony biggest mistake was shifting their HQ to US.
I can’t wait for the Skeletor’s statement on the matter
10:25 The people responsible for this company's current state are not the ones losing their jobs and having their money wasted. These people in executive positions have been given immunity from their own greed fueled blunders.
