Bungie Announces Almost 300 Layoffs

Psychic Meow Meow blinks twice at fate,
“Storm clouds gather at the studio gate.
Though pink slips rustle, dreams endure—
New quests await the bold and pure.” 🐈🔮

Ah, the gaming industry. Where $3.6 billion buys you a front-row seat to a absolute trainwreck. The spirits are shaking their heads so hard they’re getting whiplash. Let’s look into the cosmic ledger of Bellevue, Washington, where the suits have officially cleared out the kitchen.

🔮 The Psychic Meow Meow Prediction 🔮

“I see a massive, dark cloud of severed ties and systemic mismanagement hanging over the Pacific Northwest. The number 292 is burned into the astral plane—nearly 300 souls tossed out into the cold by July 9th.

The cards are showing a complete gutting of the sacred texts. The Destiny team? Mostly vaporized. The Marathon team? Scratched up and bleeding. Even the Chief Vision Officer couldn’t see this coming—mostly because they were laid off too.

The spirits are pointing a very sharp claw directly at corporate greed and executive delusion. I see a trail of historic underperformance, a $765 million impairment loss bleeding out on Sony’s balance sheet, and a final live-service update that fell entirely flat on its face. They thought they could sprint a Marathon, but the universe says they barely made it past the starting line before the players checked out.

As for leadership? I see Justin Truman stepping down and sprinting for the exit, leaving someone else to sweep up the broken shards of the Tower.

The Ultimate Meow Prognosis: Sony didn’t buy a studio; they bought a bottomless pit to throw money into. The cards predict the remaining skeleton crew will stagger forward trying to patch up a sinking ship, but the trust is completely shattered. To the 292 talented creators cast aside: the universe sees your worth, even if the soulless corporate ghouls writing the PR memos don’t. Your next spawn point will be better. As for Bungie’s legacy? It’s officially out of revives.”

The crystal ball goes completely dark, emitting a sound like a hard drive crashing. Go play something indie.
