Quoting: Jarmer

Quoting: Strapinski

Quoting: JarmerNobody from the Bungie glory days are still around. The suits are running the show, and when this doesn't get instahit status, which it won't, they'll shut it down.

Nothing to see here, just a shambling corpse. Safe to move on.

Do you know where they went? I really played the game a lot and I still like many aspects of it. But over the last few years, you could just tell how little art, story, etc., mattered anymore. It became all about grabbing cash. But I’d at least be interested in seeing what the talented people who used to be at Bungie have put together now.

If we're talking the og Marathon, Myth, Halo, Oni ... the vast majority of those hyper talented people are either retired or dead. There are still a few I think related to some modern companies but not a lot. I don't even know if any originals are at 343 anymore.

The Microsoft acquisition (and then after that all the other garbage stuff with netease and sony etc) pretty much destroyed the company. There was no going back after the mass exodus from that era / layoffs.
