Several former Destiny 2 developers have criticized Bungie’s leadership and workplace culture.
Former lead narrative designer Michael Zenke called Bungie “the most toxic, dysfunctional experience” of his career
Former QA lead Uriah Belletto said Bungie’s leaders had “forgot that people play games for fun,” arguing that they failed to understand how much players value customization and fun content.
@CayoBuay@thedestinyshow Yeah, it's Sony's fault for letting Bungie keep its autonomy and independence. Bungie would never have become a household name in the gaming industry without being ruled with an iron fist by the likes of Microsoft or Activision. That's how you get them to behave properly.
Player counts for games from some of the Xbox studios reportedly being shuttered or affected by cuts.
Double Fine collaborated with Anita Sarkeesian on Psychonauts 2 (she’s credited in the game), while Compulsion Games worked with Sweet Baby Inc. on South of Midnight.
@CayoBuay@thedestinyshow Sony played a role in Bungie’s downfall by being too tolerant toward Bungie and placing too much trust in Bungie’s supposed “live-service expertise” while allowing its hapless leadership to destroy Bungie from within.
@TKaDemxn@DestinyBulletn Sony played a role in Bungie’s downfall by placing too much trust in Bungie’s supposed “live-service expertise,” but the decision to shut down Destiny was ultimately Bungie’s own.
