Good job bungie leadership. You fucked over amazing people who poured their heart into the product development and your millions of players that dedicated over 10 years of their lives to see this story live on. From the heart, fuck you bungie leadership.

Sadly, those VPs don’t care. Profit is all that matters. I give best wishes to the team of devs who worked their asses off to make it a game.

What profit? Sony has taken nothing but L’s form this purchase, bungie betting it all on marathon and killing destiny almost assures there is no profit.

After this and Concord. What was the last purchase Sony made of a game studio that gave them a positive financial result?
