It's even worse than it sounds 🙂

I'm sorry but player count absolutely matters with a live service game but to each their own I guess.

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."
