Destiny 2 studio Bungie could reportedly lose its independence under Sony if it fails to meet certain financial goals.
Per IGN, the late-October layoffs at Bungie were part of cost-cutting measures taken to avoid a total takeover by Sony, which bought the studio early last year for $3.6 billion. Even after the layoffs, several current and former Bungie employees were reportedly present at a department meeting in which they were told the board would be at risk of dissolution if Bungie falls short of its revenue goals.
