>>99% of the Destiny 2 team got layed off
Good, their job is done
>>bungie support staff at sony too
Good, too many cooks in the kitchen
>>some marathon devs let go too
Good, game has shipped time to restructure for different content delivery
>>Marathon remains an important part of our portfolio
Good, game has future content plans.

This is how the game industry has operated for 20 years and it's only bad when playstation does it.

For Destiny 2, yes.

Its fun to watch them Weekend at Bernies this entire shitshow.

How much more sunk cost fallacy can the industry take? Yea, Marathon underperformed. Downsize it, tweak it. I also remember people talking about how Destiny should have been bigger than it was but it still had players, there was still SOME income you could get from that. This is just Warner Brothers Games all over again

I'll miss contest mode raid launches. Nothing quite like it in any other games

>Our immediate priority is supporting affected employees through this transition. We are providing transition support and, where possible, working to identify opportunities across SIE and our global network of studios.
Translation: cannibalizing the D2 team by throwing the good employees into the Horizon and God Of War farms.

We're at the 'double down' phase of the bad decision tree.
