🚨NEW: Bungie layoffs seemingly include co-founder Jason Jones.
A WARN filing lists Chief Vision Officer among the affected roles. Jones was previously Bungie’s CVO, per an official press release and a Destiny 2 Showcase in 2021 - https://t.co/bLZ5JcWUKT
The industry is fundamentally broken when a game that was on the platinum sales chart for 5 years in a row (and was still on the silver chart last year) can “fail to meet expectations.”
the people who made deep stone crypt and last wish and kings fall and vespers host no longer have jobs because some rich guys who dont even play games wanted to spend the money on themselves and cars instead of their employees and the game they were supposed to manage
"We recognize that Bungie's leadership fell short of its responsibilities to our Devs, our community and the future of Destiny"
There.. Fixed it for you.
Because this is NOT on the Devs. Or on Destiny.
"As the leaders of Bungie, past and present, we recognize Destiny 2 fell short of expectations the past several years" ︀︀ ︀︀
You mean the same leaders that said this? ︀︀ ︀︀You mean like Pete Parsons who continued to lay people off while growing his car collection, even inviting devs to his house to flex his cars to before firing them the next day? ︀︀ ︀︀
The same leaders who screwed the company, the same leaders who screwed the game, and then because the game obviously tanked, the VERY SAME leaders who in the past and present toss the devs who put their heart and soul into keeping this game alive, out on the streets (in the worst economy and job market in recent history) like nothing. ︀︀ ︀︀
Bungie leadership is exactly why we're at this point. ︀︀ ︀︀
Sincerely, Fuck you Bungie leadership, and especially Pete, I hope the left over devs walk out and find a new company to work for.
:: Hey Warlocks!~ ☕️🙂↔️ ::
NEVER forget to remind the Hunters & Titans that WE WON the LAST guardian games there will ever be — In Destiny 2..! 🏆
(Also we have better fashion)
“Could I do more?”
You all have done more for this game and our studio than could ever be imagined, and no words can accurately depict how lucky we are to have shared these worlds with you.
Don’t blame yourselves or think you could have / should have done more. This is just the way it goes sometimes.
No matter the future, we will always have these memories.
Thank you. For everything.
Destiny 2:
1. Around a million active daily players for 2 weeks
2. Top 12 most popular games on steam
3. Consistently top 8-20 in sales on steam
Sony: we want a successful live service game so let’s try nothing and just cancel our most popular one .

Hi all,
Sadly a number of my Destiny 3D-printable figurines have been removed due to a copyright claim.
I'm not sure how long the remaining will be downloadable, so if you want to print them, this is your final chance to get them for free🫶
