Wouldn't be surprised if every studio is laying someone off to get ready for the looming recession.
With all the issues Bungie has had over the years, I'm starting to come around that some of the issues that have popped up consistently may not have been MS, Activision or Sony but management at Bungie itself.
They plummeted with ODST.
They peaked with Reach.
They plummeted with ODST.
As long as it scored better than Quantum BreakWorst scoring Halo in the entire series and a MASSIVE fall from Halo 3. RIP Bungie.

I loved Destiny when I played it. But then I fell behind at the time they were adding paid expansions while removing expansions I had paid for that I hadn't even got to play yet due to being busy.Destiny was a success. I played dozens of hours of vanilla destiny, it had several problems ie waves of horde sections and repetitive gameplay loop... but it still had something magical about it. They lost me with the first greedy dlc scheme and the r******d answers they gave Eurogamer in that interview (Eurogamer really was a real media site at that point).
I'd say they didn't really lost it until destiny dlc and destiny 2 imo.
Halo didn't really lose anything and reach and odst was fine, but they didn't innovate much after 3 and the gaming audience moved on with other online shooters.
Can't be many left of the original developers anyway?
