If financial goals are not met, Sony has the right to dissolve Bungie's current board structure and take complete control of the company. Bungie is already struggling to meet targets, leading to job cuts and reduced privileges for employees. Morale is said to be low, with staff expressing frustration and sadness over the situation.

Google is currently on trial for alleged antitrust violations, including using underhand tactics to maintain its dominance in the search industry.
