I was also one of the many impacted by the layoffs at Bungie this week. My time went by in a blur, and I was amazed at the amount of talent that I got to work with: So many dedicated, creative, and thoughtful people that I had the pleasure of calling colleagues and friends.

Several of us in QA were still reproing the Seraphs shield and DSC elevator crashes on different consoles/framerates late into Weds night, with a goal of verifying the fix on our dev kits Thursday. Little did we know we wouldn’t get to verify it as we were all swept up in the layoffs. 🥺 It was an honor/bittersweet to close out D2 as MoT QA lead of the Immortal title triumphs and vendors. Our MATT (most amazing test team) naturally ran thru almost 180 triumphs and all MoT vendor items/the character rendezvous/the cinematics triggering/the grass changing - one even tried to speed run it - you know who you are 😀 I wouldn’t trade them for the world and I’m so damn proud of us. We really wanted you all to feel the passion we put into making the triumph journey feel bug free and rewarding. Hope that came thru. If you played these activities thru D2 and liked them/did not hit TOO many bugs, we are glad 😌 And I say WE because it is always a team effort: - Renegades golden path - Edge of Fate Invitation intro mission and abilities (MB/relocator/translator) - Final Shape lost sectors/secrets/combo testing of Dual Destiny exotic class items - Lightfall full campaign and post game run thrus - S19 Seraphs Shield exotic mission - S18 Ketchrash 6 man activity I guess I can rest now for a bit knowing the end of this journey is here and a new path awaits so many of us. Thanks to all of you at bungie who worked with me in any way. And thanks as always to the players - you made this game really feel alive. Once a guardian, always a guardian ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely gutted to have to say goodbye to so many talented colleagues. It's not going to be the same without them. I'm still thankfully at Bungie but will be stepping into a new role in the upcoming weeks - all my creator friends, you're all in still in good hands though!

I got laid off from Bungie yesterday :( It was a wonderful 3 and half years and I'm proud of the animation work I got to create on Marathon. No regrets, I got some good memories there. Wonderful people to work with. It's off to a new adventure somewhere now, wherever that may be

It was a huge honor and privilege to spend nearly 12 years helping bring Raids and Dungeons to life. It means so much to me how many of you enjoyed the content, and built lasting bonds with people because of it.

I was affected by the layoffs today at Bungie. I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to work among such talented folks, and sad that this time has come to a close. Thank you to the players and fans that have supported us and spent your time with us. You're my favorite.

I've been laid-off along side an immense amount of incredible people at @Bungie/@PlayStation... Not new to layoffs, in my 20+ yrs in the game industry, but the last 5 yrs at #Bungie/@Sony was euphoric. I had the pleasure of working with the best team I could have ever dreamed of.

My role at PlayStation supporting Bungie has been eliminated. It was truly amazing getting to work with such a talented team, and I love what we created during our time 🖤

I got got.

Today was my last day at Bungie, along with hundreds of others I was fortunate enough to work with. The people there are what made the job truly exceptional. If you are a team hiring, and see Bungie on a candidate’s resume, you would be so lucky to have them on your team.

Pantheon 2 is the last thing I will have worked on at Bungie. Despite everything it has been an honor to work on Destiny 2. Please know with deep sincerity that we wanted more than anything to make you smile. See you starside, Guardians

Sad to say I was one of the folks affected by the layoffs today after over 3 wonderful years at Bungie. I'd like to thank my team for the amazing experience and getting to ship Marathon alongside you all!~

Deeply saddened by the recent layoffs at Bungie. As a contractor, I’ve seen firsthand the love and dedication. Truly world-class artists.. now friends who helped me grow creatively. They deserve to land somewhere quickly! My contract ends at the end of the month.

Today is my last day at Bungie. What an incredible ride it has been. See ya starside, guardians.

Today is my last day with SIE/Bungie as I was impacted by the layoffs today. This was a dream job in so many ways given how much of an impact Destiny 2 has had on my life. Very grateful for these past 4 years. 💛

Bungie was the dream job. I feel beyond fortunate I was able to work on Destiny 2 for the past five years, to see Marathon grow into its own, and to have met so many talented and kind people. I'd do it all again. If you need a visual/graphic designer, I'll be looking for work.

I have worked with so many champions who are now not gunna be there there tomorrow at work. Being at Bungie means to be forged in the fires of incredible start-to-finish release cadences multiple times a year. Very few people do what they do, and the industry was better for it.
