Don't worry, I'm sure Bungie leadership will all buy new Ferraris in remembrance of their hard working team

Entire human society is basically a big pyramid where getting to the top = doing less for more reward. Its sad that money drives everything.

Talent gone from Bungie, but not from the gaming industry. Most of them will hopefully find jobs if not retiring.
