Bungie isn't massive, it's bloated to the gills with adult day care jobs and nepotism. They are going to be getting gutted one way or another, either out of necessity or by Sony's hand. And honestly it's been a long time coming.

That's why's I think Marathon will get dropped. Bungie needs to tighten their belt financially and focus on a product that makes money now while also preparing for the future. D2 getting an AoT will keep them afloat, D3 in 2.5 years will print money. Double and tripling down on marathon will kill the studio, and Sony is too invested to let that happen now.
The main issue with this train of thought is who is still around at Bungie that could possibly run an actual studio that produces actual good games in an actual good timeline? If no one (which is correct, because the whole studio has been brain drained like 4 times over) - where do you possibly find someone who can?

Are any of the current Bungie devs worth keeping on with a new studio if they find someone that can manage it (and that's a gigantic if)? Are Bungie's IPs - in this case Destiny - still worth anything to the normal video game consumer (who likely already bounced off Destiny 1 or Destiny 2, plus all the negative PR around Destiny 2) that would possibly justify the cost?

I think the answer to every question is a real big "No fucking way" but Sony has to try and wring something out of it - but sometimes you have to cut your losses.
 
I just want to know what the fuck the item does. I don't need to know that the lord of shit shoved it up his ass 2000 years ago and now he has anal prolapsing after its removal.
You can have both, pic related.
