Today's a bad day for Bungie, as the company had to cut off a lot of its staff following what would presumably be the fallout of past corporate decisions from its current owner.

I found it funny that they fought so hard to regain their independence from Microsoft just to sell to Sony a decade later. Seems like a ship of Theseus situation
The people who fought for independence are no longer the ones running the company. Just like with InfinityWard, the people who made the company what it is have long since left or been fired/laid off. The studio is only the same in name and by what IPs it owns. Other than that it’s basically entirely different.

Come now. They released some cool Mac games before they were snapped up by MS
Marathon was a blast (and Halo incorporated many elements of it).
I meant after leaving Microsoft.
And Windows too (Oni)
Probably too young for Marathon or Oni…

They were tired of making the same fps game over and over, so they switched to making the same fps game over and over.
