Last Chance To Fix Destiny 2 Delayed After Bungie Lays Off Devs
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Bungie released Destiny 2's final major update earlier this month but still faces unresolved balance issues and bugs, with limited time to address them due to recent layoffs.
- A planned hotfix, initially scheduled for release shortly after the update, has been delayed following the layoff of some team members by Sony, causing uncertainty about the timeline.
- Bungie assured fans the delay is temporary and that the patch will be released when possible, urging support for both current and former team members.
- Nearly 300 developers at Bungie, including some working on Destiny 2 and Marathon, were laid off in a mass reduction, raising questions about who will maintain the game going forward.
- Fans are conflicted, relieved by the final improvements but frustrated by Sony's decision to invest in Marathon over a potential Destiny 3, viewing the layoffs as abrupt and poorly timed.
