They are no longer going to be any form of independent from Sony/PlayStation anymore. The Final Shape’s sales were never going to be able to prevent this from happening, says Jeff Grubb on his morning news show (paraphrased).

I would generally agree with this statement but I think in this particular case it may be a bad thing. From what I understood of the article they are taking a portion of the Bungie dev team and spinning off to be a part of the Sony game devs. I have a feeling the manage team being taken out had been a big pushback on that.
Bungie wanted to leave Microsoft because they wanted to do new things and not just Halo. Unfortunately it turned out activation screwed them in terms of their development and mad then cut 70% of the D1 story with less than a year to release.
After all that they are eventually bought by Sony that now does almost the same thing MS was doing to them.
Don’t get me wrong, I am glad it’s more managers and corporate office than devs but I have a bad feeling that this is just the start of a bad turn of events for them.
I mean… regardless of how this goes, I think we can all agree this isn’t the start of a bad turn for them.
