They laid off this guy as well.

I guess Bungie wants no music in their next game. They are now down both of their OG Soundtrack guys from the Halo days, Marty after cheating him out of owed revenue in Destiny 1 days, and now Michael as well.

It wasn't just music legacy guys at Bungie. They're clearing house of all veterans at the company.

It's an utterly baffling decision to clean house of all veterans in the wake of an acquisition. Why would Sony acquire Bungie just to layoff all of the devs who made Bungie what it is today? Bungie without the veteran devs isn't even worth half of what Sony paid for them, the quality of their games will noticeably tank without the veterans there to guide the more recent recruits, and then the sales will plummet when the quality of their games plummets. I really can't understand why Sony would do this, or rather why they would allow the dynamic duo of Bungie's continued downfall, Jason Jones and Pete Parsons, to layoff all the veterans devs, instead of themselves laying off Jason and Pete and putting somebody decent in charge of the studio in their stead.

It's looking like Sony spent $3.6b on the hollow shell of a once legendary studio and their IP's.
