"Bungie's Future Hangs in the Balance as Sony Takeover Looms"

TL;DR Summary
Bungie, the game developer behind Destiny 2, may face a complete takeover by Sony if the upcoming game, Destiny 2: The Final Shape, fails to meet certain financial goals. Sony acquired Bungie last year, and if the goals are not met, Sony can dissolve the current board and take full control of the company. The potential takeover has led to layoffs and cost-cutting measures at Bungie, causing low morale among employees. There is a hiring freeze, reduced benefits, and an alleged indifference from management. The performance of Destiny 2: The Final Shape will determine whether further layoffs occur.
