Bungie Devs Say Atmosphere Is ‘Soul-Crushing’ Amid Layoffs, Cuts, and Fear of Total Sony Takeover - IGN

One month after a major round of layoffs impacted roughly 100 Bungie employees of 1,200, those remaining at the Destiny developer say the cuts, as well as other cost-cutting measures, came alongside an apparent scramble by studio leadership to avoid a total Sony takeover.

TL;DR: Bungie scrambled to cut staff to avoid Sony taking over the company fully due to missed revenue projections. Morale in the studio is expectedly low. More layoffs will happen if TFS doesn’t perform well.

Everything I read about this implies Bungie was making all the decisions. Also Bungie signed the contract with that clause in it.

I don’t like Sony but sounds like they’re mostly not to blame.
