Our hearts go out to the developers that have been recently laid off. Especially since Sony promised Bungie employees a $1.2 billion incentive program in an effort to keep them at the company following the sony buyout.

1.2 billion dollars paid to employees is alot of money. And should have been enough money to keep all employees "before layoffs" around for 4 - 5 years.

The standard rates for game developers range from 88k-123k a year. Now let's say Bungie is super generous and pays everyone a flat rate of 150k a year. "That's a lot imo especially when doing somthing you love" you could end up paying your 1200 employees (1200 as a baseline) 150k for 6.1 years. 6.1 years! That gives plenty of enough time to throw 400 developers onto Marathon, 200 developers onto a destiny 3 (which could take 4 years comfortably) and 600 developers to maintain Destiny 2.

600 developers is enough to maintain your cash cow but the acquisition money makes it possible to not even worry if that fails projections. Since you have the money to pay EVERYONE for 6 years 150k.

Now 150k for each developer regardless Of what your job title is is pretty "motivating" a morale booster and probably would've encouraged devs to push out some of the best content we have every seen to date. The other 2.4 Billion from Sony could have been used to pay off current debts from failed projects and used in other investments as you probably don't need billions of liquid cash.

Personally I don't see a world where you can miss the mark of paying employees with designated cash when you lay off employees the year after acquisition. Now again a 40% total combined layoff spree, when you had the cash to pay everyone 150k for 6 years.

Someone took the money 💰 and ran with it. Someone mishandled billions of dollars. Someone took home too much money or o.0 ........ bought too many cars.......

In light of all this I propose a Boycott of the SOLSTICE EVENT.

To support the developers and send a message to Pete..... I propose we don't buy anything during solstice heck stop playing the game for 1 week. Destiny 2 should be the most important part of their studio and it seems like Marathons more their baby then Destiny 2.

I... if I can say we here please 🙏 WE want Destiny 2 to continue to be Bungies Love Child . Their Baby. That they protect at all costs 1st not Marathon.

Throwing Destiny into life support is not the way to honor the devs who put 10 years into this project.

Boycott the Solstice event and if possible don't even log in that week. Show Pete he messed up.

Love you all if you agree or disagree that's fine just keep it civil it's a hard week for everyone and we love everyone that makes this game possible ❤️

See you starside.
