The Destiny 2<\/em> community was rocked on Oct. 30 as reports rolled in from those affected that Bungie was in the midst of a sweeping round of layoffs. Those layoffs not only have major implications for the studio itself, but also the future of Destiny 2<\/em> as a whole.<\/p>
As reported by Bloomberg<\/a>, around eight percent of Bungie’s staff were laid off following a recent announcement by company executives two weeks prior that yearly revenue was running 45 percent below projections. It comes at a time when player sentiment surrounding Destiny 2<\/em> is at an all-time low, in part thanks to the overwhelmingly negative reception<\/a> to the recent Lightfall<\/em> expansion and more recent points of controversy like the lackluster State of the Game post<\/a> for 2023.<\/p>
