In an internal town hall meeting addressing a Monday round of layoffs that impacted multiple departments, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons allegedly told remaining employees that the company had kept “the right people” to continue work on Destiny 2.

So it sounds like the developers had a better bead on why D2 has been losing numbers and there’s no way for them to provide feedback. And as a result, they were probably tied into the layoffs. Talk about some obvious mismanagement. The wrong person was laid off.

The last thing workers want to hear is “the right people” when they see their friends and colleagues laid off. I was at a company that said that after a round of layoffs, the CEO got absolutely roasted for saying it.

Then stop pushing the player base away with predatory profiteering tactics.

This is on leadership, not the workers. It’s a shame they have to suffer for the mistakes of a profit greedy leadership team.

Destiny 2 is one of the scummiest games I’ve ever spent money on. A new fucking $60 expansion every few months (it felt like) that hardly added anything to the game. I would love to have the money I spent on that game and multiple DLC expansions back, it was NEVER worth it.
