According to the theory being discussed, it is.

Origional quote was "talent goes where the money is"

I interpret that as "Sony can't pay the bills so people leave". Simple deductment.

Sure, they're certainly rumored to have a lot of great stuff to show. Hopefully some of that materializes because expectations are going to be high. In the meantime people are bound to get antsy when all they're getting is silence from Sony and story after story about layoffs or people leaving (Hennig, Tretton, etc). For now the PS4 does have a less than inspiring line up so far, although to be fair I think people have forgotten how typical that is for a console in its first year and so don't appreciate how good it actually is by historical standards.

He could be leaving in support for the other colleagues.

Or he intends to go to MS but his contract precludes him so he need a mid-point before that.

Or Ps4 is so easy to code that even monkeys could code for it then he isn't needed anymore.

Woah, I think we might want to take a step back from all this "doom and gloom" talk. Though it's unfortunate the ND is losing a high teir member doesn't mean it's the end of Sony as we know it.

Just to spell it out for you. If talent goes where the money is, why is Bungie (a very talented developer) not with MS (an extremely rich company) anymore?

but if sony are poor then bungie must be talentless

edit: btw tons of people have left MS and nintendo too.

Is this good ? Of course not. Is this reason for panic ? Of course not.

This is basically the meaning of restructuring, theyve lowered the budget and some ppl will take a paycut, others wont and will instead choose to leave WW studios. I expect this to happen a lot more on the comming months, and the ones that leave are the big guns cause the smal ones are actualy eager to stay and take up the spots left by the big names.

In the edn if they have talented ppl in ther ein theyre lower ranks wich they probably do theyll step up and keep things going perfectly, if they dont have this talent on the lower ranks theyre screwed. We will know in the long run.

The only realy bad news was the disbanding of one of Sony Santa Monicas team, but that can be atributed to incompetence of the developers themselves, if they ahd come up with somethign good in the 3 years working in the game they were working no one wouldve fired them.

Gotta win the console war somehow, every battle count

But... but... you quoted me!

Haha, shows what you know!
