MODERATORS
Bungie had similar problems with Destiny 2, if I remember correctly.
Bungie commented on the current issue an hour ago.
Love the response. Very CYA and they're called out on it by multiple people:
Honestly, at this point the company should be dismantled and the leadership thrown in prison. These corporate edgelords wont learn. They will just overstep, inch by inch and the courts will understate their deeds over and over until there is only one company that rules the world and sell you your fucking liver by the minute.
Dismantle this pile of shit.
So approx 850 people working at the studio should lose their livelihood because a few shitty leads and artists plagiarized?
Listen, I want to dismantle a LOT of companies that are a thousand times bigger than this.
so if your concern for workplaces is so much higher than for people getting systematically fucked and not that rarely lose everything - even their lives - you're gonna get real unhappy.
This system is fucked, stop defending it.
