Bungie is under fire once again a year after the unpaid artist called out the developer's broken promise amidst game industry woes.
It says a lot about the sad state of a game when people are more interested in unlocking trophies than actually playing it.
From a surprise hit to an even more shocking cancelation, Sony's live service journey has been a rollercoaster.
Two years following its acquisition, Bungie has had little to show for the amount of money it cost Sony to buy the studio.
Sony Interactive Entertainment just laid off 900 of its Playstation workforce, as well as shutting down its London Studio division.
Just because Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games, among others, gave up their live-service projects, this doesn't mean everyone dropped theirs.
Several former key Deviation staff now working with Sony Interactive Entertainment have led to rumors of a new internal studio.
At this point, a total Sony takeover of Bungie is the best thing that could happen to its employees who definitely deserve better.
"After all we've seen, all we've lost, this wait might (hopefully) be our last."
Average player count on Steam has dropped to below 35,000.
After reports of internal turmoil, Sony has confirmed that its live service games won't be arrival until at least 2026.
Around 100 employees are reportedly affected by the layoffs and the job cuts will impact development for Destiny 2 and Marathon.
Sony and Bungie has yet to clarify how many employees were affected by the mass layoffs and which departments were affected the most.
For what it's worth, SEGA and Bandai have a history of working together with Sony on PlayStation exclusives over the years.
Since 2011, Bungie has faced problems related to a male-dominated work environment and a crunch-time approach that negatively impacted female employees.
Phil Spencer, the renowned head of Xbox, offered warm commendations, highlighting Ryan's momentous contributions to the industry.
Keep in mind that Jim Ryan made these comments a year ago, way before the recent controversial price increase to the PlayStation Plus.
