So apparently the game informer thing was like, spontaneous and immediate. According to now-former writers, none of them were even asked to write that blurb from the tweet (one even considered it might've been ai-generated 💀)

"Bungie, the storied creator of the Halo franchise and the online game Destiny, said it laid off 220 people Wednesday. Those cuts included several top executives who have been with the company for decades, according to people familiar. The teams that were hit hard included audio, narrative and player support. On social media, individuals shared their layoff stories, including one person who said they were set to go on maternity leave starting Monday."

"The company said it is also hoping to move 155 others to Sony Interactive Entertainment, while a separate group will spin out a new game company within Sony to continue working on an incubation project code-named Gummybears."

"Most of the people were critical of Chief Executive Officer Pete Parsons, saying he had failed to take accountability for his own bad bets and that he’d been overly optimistic in his communication with the staff. Some said Parsons and other company leaders spoke of “Bungie magic” — a confident mantra, similar to ones preached by other elite video-game studios, that they can make anything work out. (See: BioWare magic, Arkane magic, etc.)"

"The company also plans to continue updating Destiny 2, although it will no longer pursue regular paid expansions as it did in the past, according to the people familiar. During one recent meeting, a company leader told attendees that sales of each expansion had declined year over year, including June’s The Final Shape, so they would be moving away from an annual release model."

@raiden94 buff builds in ER are fun

I just smoked both tree sentinels in front of the capital in like 1 minute

[raiden94 15]

WHAT

Yo what's your secret? Might need it for the plat run lol

Was almost considering going EZ mode; aka magic

[Liftea 15]

I run a faith, strength build with a simple claymore + black flame weapon enchant

I don't get the weapon for my build until later in the game

so I have to use a claymore

before every fight I buff myself black flame blade, flame grant me strength, golden vow and rallying standard

I stack all buffs possible

[raiden94 15]

That sounds nuts lmao

Is that all stuff you can by from a merchant?

[Liftea 15]

rallying standard is a drop from the boss in caelid that also drops the needle for milicent

and the spells are purchasable

Based on a children's book of the same name

Which begs the question: why isn't the main character a child??
