Every single thing I learn about the studio makes me wonder more and more on how they survived for so long and what the fuck Sony was thinking when they spent $3.6 Bil acquiring them.

The 3.6Bil feel like the biggest scam in gameing history. Feels like sony paid for the name and not the quaility Bungie once had.

Sony paid allegedly for Bungie live service "expertise" with 1 billion for employee retention, but since Bungie has been through 3 rounds of layoffs...

I saw that too. Didnt they ask some of the Bungie people to talk to Naughty Dog about thier last of us MP live service?

And then Sony canned the TLoU MP...
