How to save Bungie, by Anon:
>Split the remaining workforce into 3 teams:

>First team is in charge of Marathon support.
>Second team will develop an AA spiritual successor to Oni set in the nuMarathon universe. Cut costs by reusing existing Marathon assets.
>Third team will work on a top-down co-op shooter set in the Destiny universe, modeled after Synthetik/Helldivers 1. Again, manage costs by resuing existing Destiny assets.

Capitalize on existing IP by delivering products palatable to established consumer bases while keeping development costs in check. Focus on delivering modest successes to rebuild consumer goodwill towards Bungie while pivoting away from GaaS.
>>
>>741233812
>400 employees left
That basically confirms Destiny 3 will never get made. Marathon support will probably end soon. The only path for this company is to make FPS singleplayer games since gunplay is their specialty. Pathways into Darkness Remake, Marathon Trilogy Remake or Destiny spinoffs. Their version of ID software I guess.
>>
>>741235763
They were already doing this for Marathon and their million incubation progress and it literally killed their company.

>>741233812
Damn, first south of nignight studio shuts down, then stop killing games gets killed by the EU, and now soiny is getting reamed by the consequences of their actions.
Woke sisters, things are NOT looking good for us.

I presume the executives are securing their place in the bunkers. Shit's expensive, must be.

Revelation 6:15-17KJV
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Vidya is not shy to announce the beast either.
I find it so interesting that these popular video game franchises have all conveniently reached the number 6.
>GTA
>Far Cry
>Elder Scrolls
>DOOM
>Battlefield
>Persona
>Halo
>Street Fighter
>Hitman
>MGS
>Armored Core
>Super Smash Bros
>Bloons TD
>Serious Sam
>Devil May Cry
>Forza Horizon
>Dead or Alive
All announcing the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13:17-18 KJV
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Honourable mention:
>Resident Evil 9 (upside down 6)
>Dying Light The Beast
>Final Fantasy 16

>top-down co-op shooter set in the Destiny universe, modeled after Synthetik/Helldivers 1.
Basically throwing away money.
People only care about Bungie for Destiny, so I'd shift all of them to pump out a Destiny spin-off in 2 years. Announce it this year to keep the hopium up with anyone that still cares about them. If they couldn't manage that then wtf is Sony paying them for?
Things are grim at Bungie.
>>
>>741240000
And I never understood this
Destiny universe is kinda garbo and derivative. And the gameplay is a polished waterbank rock. Very polished, but still dull.

Nothing happened. It's just the D2 team getting ditched because it's essentially an abandoned game now.

Marathon, on the other hand, will be around for a good while.

There's really no reason to keep more than 100 people around if all they're doing is Marathon maintenance. I don't know what Valve's CS team looks like, but it's got to be less than 100.

It's kind of crazy to me that people think there should be infinite, unending work for artists. All pieces of art come to a conclusion eventually. And when that happens, a new team has to be rebuilt for the next project. Even if you're using a GaaS model, you can'r realistically expect infinite growth forever. That's that cancerous mindset that causes so many problems in the world.
