Art Director should be fired and Sony should compensate the woman.

Honestly at this stage Sony needs to take full control of Bungie and fire the entire upper management because that's trash too, and no, I don't mean Sony should absorb them, that would fucking suck too, Bungie is a household name and deserves to continue to live on with the talented employees it has but the entire upper management needs to be given the boot before they drag the studio down with them.

I have zero interest in Marathon, I was still hoping it does well, but eh. I don't want Bungie to fail but I want major changes at Bungie and think they need it, even if a Sony total takeover means that Sony will turn them exclusive, I'd rather see that than Bungie run themselves in the ground. It's just one thing after another with Bungie lately and I don't know why Sony hasn't put their foot on their neck yet.

Bungie has lost nearly half of all its employees since Sony bought them out. While upper management does an absolutely shit job and deserves to get canned, gotta admit they did a great job at bullshitting their way to Jim Ryan lol.

It's insane to think now how much authority Sony handed Bungie when it came to overseeing their upcoming live service portfolio. Now not only have Sony's live service ambitions imploded outside of Helldivers 2, which I don't think Bungie would've had much say over since it was a partnered game, but Bungie's own upcoming live service game is imploding lol.

From this horrible PR to the lukewarm reception of Marathon's alpha, to the constant preferring of the upcoming Arc Raiders over Marathon, things are looking bleak AF. Destiny 2 is still Bungie's saving grace right now, but we'll have to see how well this new model of smaller expansions holds up.

Lost a bunch of employees who didn't deserve to go and nobody who actually deserved to go and it feels like Bungie's leadership shit canned those developers to save themselves. Done a shit job at helping Sony with its live service portfolio, a lot of controversy with Destiny 2, plagiarisms, lawsuits, employees upset at leadership, changing Marathon IP for no reason, etc.

Honestly Bungie would be lost without having a major company propping them up, whether that was Microsoft, or Activision, or Sony, a lot of blame used to be thrown at Activision for Bungie's issues in the past but it's clear now those issues are largely Bungie themselves, Bungie leadership is carried HARD by the rank and file employees and they should be kissing their feet.

Bungie's success is all to do with their amazing rank and file employees and nothing to do with their leadership.

I'm ashamed to say I was right there popping off and celebrating when Bungie split from Activision. Hindsight is 20/20 though lol

Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

I did it, I stopped the Oblivion Crisis all by myself, all 60 Oblivion gates closed, Septim can go home now, the matter is resolved. Okay, now I can finally finish the Main Quest, Thieves Guild, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles in that order, I still have a decent bit left to do
