Dear lord. The ill informed comments in that Bluesky thread hurt my soul.
EDIT: To clarify, the “golden handcuffs” tied to the Sony deal ($1.2B of the total $3.6B) already vested. The executives responsible for the downfall were paid and gone some time ago.
The notion that Bungie was some kind of golden goose prior to the Sony deal really relies on you ignoring how much the studio had floundered over the last decade.
This more speaks to how hard up Sony executives were, being forced to pick through the trash bin at Microsoft.
Yeah, I was honestly surprised Sony paid that much for them when I saw the sale news.
