[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61176, member: 1"] Destiny 2 developer Bungie has reportedly been affected by lay-offs, becoming the latest in a long line of video game studios to undergo downsizing in 2023. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier said on [URL='https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1719034212945109053']X/Twitter[/URL] that staff at the PlayStation Studios developer were informed of the lay-offs today, October 30. The number of people affected by the downsizing is unclear, though Bungie CEO Pete Parsons reportedly emailed staff this morning to notify them of a meeting where they would be told more. Though lay-offs aren't uncommon in the video game industry, 2023 has proven particularly brutal for developers as myriad studios have been affected. Dreams creator and fellow PlayStation Studios developer [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/dreams-developer-media-molecule-reportedly-suffers-round-of-layoffs']Media Molecule saw a reduction of 20 staff members[/URL] earlier in October, alongside [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/the-video-game-layoffs-continue-this-time-at-f1-manager-developer-frontier']F1 Manager studio Frontier Developments[/URL] which was hit the same week. The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developer [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mass-layoffs-at-cyberpunk-2077-developer-cd-projekt-prompt-new-union-formation']CD Projekt Red has also undergone several rounds of lay-offs in 2023[/URL] as the studio restructures ahead of a major development boost, with the loss of jobs prompting some of its team to start [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/stressed-out-by-mass-layoffs-cd-projekt-staff-unionize']a union for Polish game developers[/URL].
