One month after a major round of layoffs impacted roughly 100 Bungie employees of 1,200, those remaining at the Destiny developer say the cuts, as well as other cost-cutting measures, came alongside an apparent scramble by studio leadership to avoid a total Sony takeover.

    When Destiny started, Bungie was tied to Activision and whenever there were design decisions people hated, they blamed Activision for them.

    Then Destiny 2 launched, Bungie was able to buy out the Activision contract, and everything went to shit.

    Turned out, Activision had been the voice of reason the whole time.

    Bungie started eliminating story missions, vaulting content people had paid for, including a full 1/2 of the base game and multiple expansions. They sunset gears and weapons people spent hundreds of hours earning and curating because they claimed they didn’t know how to develop scenarios for them any more.

    A full Sony takeover would be a huge improvement over what Bungie has done since separating from Activision.
