BFM TV: Sony will fire 50% of Bungie employees by the end of summer

The management of the Japanese company Sony plans to cut about 50% of the employees of the American studio Bungie as part of the next wave of restructuring.This was reported by the editor of the French television channel BFM TV, Sylvain Trinel, citing his own sources.

According to preliminary information, new layoffs are planned for this summer.The main reason is the winding down of support for Destiny 2 and the poor performance of the action shooter Marathon.According to statistics on Steam, the start of the second season and a free week of access were unable to stabilize the online situation.

As stated in Sony's recent quarterly report, Bungie forced the company to write off a $765 million impairment loss.However, official Marathon sales were never revealed.

However, last year Sony representatives admitted that the purchase of the studio for a huge sum of $3.6 billion did not justify itself.
