Destiny shutting down and layoffs is just a math problem all these niggers acting like Sony thinks more than that are delusional.
200 people at seatle salary rates means they are looming at 150 to 250k a year salary. If they are doing blended rate which is popular for big companies its about 100 dollars an hour when you include salary and benefits mimum.
200k times 200 (amount gonne be laid off) is 40 million a year in just payroll. Then you have building costs, legal, HR, taxes, server costs, and other expenses (if they are using modern enterprise dev tools like Claude or cloud hosting or even MS Word and Outlook that aint free). Then you have marketing costs (those streamers get kickbacks) and contracting costs for art, special stuff, qa/qe et cetra. Then alsk remember dei programs cost money both in running them and makes those 200 more 150 to 100 actually productive employees, and at anytime at least 30 are planning to unionize and raise your proces higher.
Then remember that every place the game is sold is taking a percentage.
This means that the game needs to pull in 80 to 100 million a year in revenue to break even, forget about making money. And Bungie struggles to release on a yearly cadence. They went over a year between Beyond Light and Witchqueen. Witchqueen and Beyond Light had sales between 2 and 3 million estimated. Same for final shape.
3 million puts revenue on selling the Final Shape expac between 150 to 300 million dollars for the final shape. Pretty good right? Except the profit was going to pay for Marathon and incubation projects. Except remember lots of people got a cut of that before the dollars hit Bungies books.
The knock out punch was Edge of Fate only sold around a million units at full price. 100 million. Before the company had pulled in 300 million. Suddenly the company went from being modestly in the black (but not impressive for 400 people) to deeply in the red. Anyone who looked at their books would know they were super soft to one bad release unlike Fortnite. This is why Microsoft bailed.

that's the shitty wow mindset i mentioned a while back, them catering to streamers and fags bled a good chunk of players on top of the gay shit.
everyone needs to eat shit in order to get the rewards for some reason and you can only cheese in a very specific way or else it's not fair o algo, hence the shitty boss immunity phases lately, i still remember you could destroy the inverted spire boss if you timed your supers but now he has the gay immunity shields, according to troongle you can still do it but it requires another type of beat dance and all the shit you can find is for GM difficulty even though you could do it on the regular one too.
