Latest noise within #Bungie is that the now Playstation subsidiary is on high alert as Sony can enact a clause on their agreement that the studio's board of directors can be dismissed and Sony take over at all. The possibilities of Bungie being folded within Playstation Studios is now more real than ever and pretty much the underperformance of Destiny 2's sales can pretty much justify Sony to enact the mentioned clause. Currently, Bungie is operating as an independent subsidiary after surprisingly, Sony announced acquiring it under that condition. Since last year, Sony tasked Bungie on assess all GaaS project including the long awaited The Last Of Us multiplayer game and actually, most of them failed the assessment and explains why Sony decided to have Naughty Dog to scale back the game. Recently, Bungie has come under fire after running a surprising layoff process as revenue of sales by Destiny 2 are under target and reportedly management has not been empathic with the people that got fired and doubled-down on improving things regardless the environment. Now it has been rumored that a new layoff run is possible if the next expansion, The Final Shape, needs to be a success, while Bungie has not acknowledged publicly, but Marathon has been internally delayed by 2025. #Gaming #GamingNews

Bungie didn't give much details besides all activity of the first half of 2024 for #Destiny2 and the official delay of The Final Shape expansion, the first main follow-up after Bungie ran a layoff and management portraited internally unempathetic about it. #Gaming #GamingNews

Unfortunately #Bungie will be running a layoff run and while the exact reach could be revealed later this week the effect is already seen on Destiny 2 and Marathon with respectively The Final Shape expansion and the remake were delayed further 2024 & 2025. The now Playstation subsidiary is the latest of noise in the industry that there are troubles at Playstation Studios were many of the 1st party developers are resisting the Game-as-a-Service strategy implemented by Jim Ryan since last year. Reportedly, thing has escalated to the point that non-attached Playstation Studios has threaten to go independent again while Playstation pressed back on folding studios who continues to object the plans. Some are speculating that this crisis is probably a one of the hidden reasons of Jim Ryan leaving Sony Interactive Entertainment next year besides an almost 30 years career within Sony and traveling between USA and Japan being a European resident. To avoid objections from regulators, Sony bought surprisingly Bungie (formerly an independents studios in the 80's and the 90's and by the New Millennium a first party studio for Xbox to Microsoft own the Halo franchise & going independent again a decade ago) as subsidiary. In return to maintain complete independence on gaming plans, Sony tasked Bungie on assess all current in-development games that could be Playstation exclusives GaaS games & MOST didn't passed the evaluation and that is why the planned The Last Of Us Multiplayer was scaled back. #Gaming #GamingNews
