Sony's Potential Takeover of Bungie Threatens Future and Morale

Sony is reportedly set to take full control of Bungie, the developer of Destiny, if the studio fails to meet its financial targets. Bungie is currently an independent subsidiary within Sony, but sources say that if certain financial goals are not reached, Sony can dissolve the split board and assume full control. The delay of the highly anticipated Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape, and ongoing investments in other projects have raised concerns about Bungie's ability to retain its independence. Recent layoffs and cost-cutting measures have impacted morale within the company, and further layoffs are expected if The Final Shape underperforms.
