| cycycychris said: Such a sad time in gaming to see so many lay offs and studio closures. Unfortunately for these studios, they are being asked to spin off at one of the toughest times. I fear they are going to have a lot of trouble finding investor/ buyers. I kind of doubt any of the big publishers will be interested in taking on the risk and Sony is rumored to have lots of lay offs coming themselves. Feels like they might need to look to sources like the Saudi's for funding. Ninja theory likely has the best chance, imo. |
Sony one feels justified.
Bungie was like 1600 people at one point, to support Destiny 2..... as they stopped production/working on Destiny 2 they let people go.
Then they had like 800-1000 people for Marathon.
It was a flop.... and cannot justify supporting that many developers doing f*** all, for it.
Bungie needs to get the remaining 500 or so devs (rumors say upto like half will be let go), left afterwards, to work on something new.
Maybe rehire once they get futher into the production pipeline.
