More bad news over at Bungie.
I can't see a future where they aren't fully taken over by Sony. I feel like most of the developers over there would welcome new management over Pete Parsons and company. I can't imagine Sony will let Bungie go independent again either. I could see them completely cleaning house. Regardless, Marathon is a pivotal project for Sony/Bungie, and it will be the defining factor as to whether or not this acquisition was worth it.
Still, despite the struggles Bungie is going through, compared to the Sony/Zee merger falling apart, its not the worst acquisition in recent memory.
