Bungie announces layoffs affecting most of the Destiny team
Sony confirms a reorganization at Bungie that will include layoffs hitting 'most of the Destiny team' and some Marathon staff.
Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.
[long pause as I try to figure out where even to begin!] My first D2 release was Season of the Wish. I got to write our big shapeshifting dragon villain Riven's last words in game and her personal romance novel. (www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/b...)
they are FOOLS for fumbling you
Would be insane that you don't get picked up within the next month. Best wishes to you
Ariella, Im so sorry this happened to you. At the same time, thank you for some amazing stories and narratives you brought to this game. I hope you are able to find something soon.
really sorry to hear this.
Thank you for helping build the world that was home to me for over a decade. Thank you, and everyone on your team, and please know all of us think you all deserved better.
I have no clue about any of this, seems I'm out of my normal spaces. I just saw this post, though. They mention the Bungie layoffs and are offering to possibly hire bsky.app/profile/sphy...
wherever you land next better thank their lucky stars or die by my blade!!!!! but right now, I want to thank you for everything: for pouring your heart (and blood sweat tears etc) into making this game that meant — and will continue to mean — so much to so many folks. your words will stay with me.
thank you for your fantastic work on D2! best of luck going forward
I'm sorry this happened to you but I have a question you might be able to answer. When Bungie decided to sunset over half of the original content and DLCs was there any internal outcry? Did any of the staff speak up and say "hey this sucks and is going to kill the player base"
Ari I'm so sorry to hear this!!! 😭 You're an incredible writer and I hope you're able to find something soon! 💖
Well folks, the hand of the market got me: I've been impacted by layoffs at Bungie. It's been an incredible, astonishing pleasure working on Destiny 2 and a small part of Marathon with so many wonderful, talented folks. This was my first AAA job, at a studio whose games I'd played since childhood.
I had such an incredible time working alongside and learning from so many smart, thoughtful, experienced, and wildly creative devs. I'm grateful I had a chance to put a mark, no matter how faint, on Destiny 2. Through the ups and downs, we made something incredible.
I am so sorry, Lynne. You and your team did an amazing job. This shouldn't have happened. 💙
I have been impacted by the layoffs at Bungie/SIE. While today's news hurts, I do not have a single regret from my near 7 years here. I have grown so much as a Producer and a person and it's because of the people I worked with.
you were an incredible producer. thank you for everything 🫂❤️
I'm really sorry about how this has all played out. I hope you manage to find a new position soon.
You are the best. I’m so sorry
I’m am so sorry Lisa ❤️ I don’t even have words right now. You are such a stellar producer and such an incredible mentor. I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn from you. If there’s anything I can do, please please let me know.
You are such a FORCE. And working with you was always a pleasure.
I’m sorry Lisa! If you see any jobs at Scopely that interest you, let me know.
I'm so sorry, Lisa. 7 years is a pretty solid run with any company these days. I hope wherever you land next treats you well 💜
Noooo not too you Lisa 😭
