Well I mean nobody's going to miss an executive or two. It's all the people doing the actual work that they fired that sucks.

Yes, but when's the last time you heard of firing execs as a coat cutting measure? How likely do you think it is that it's because it'll let them retain more devs versus because it's required to keep them afloat?

I don't get what value Bungie holds these days with no real game releases under their belt. Maintaining destiny can't possibly be bringing in that much money to support a studio.

Not any more, that's for damn sure

I think those hardest hit were those few executives laid off.
