Context: Aside from Marathon missing the mark on its early playtests and getting mediocre reviews, Bungie was caught copy/pasting stolen art into a lot of the game's art and textures. The company is internally under fire.

Live service garbage has costed the industry billions in losses and costed tens of thousands of devs their jobs. Fad chasing in general.

Everyone wants to make the fortnite killer or overwatch killer. They set billions of dollars on fire and get nothing for it. And it's the devs who pay the price. Not the c-suite dipshits who threw all that money in the fire pit.
