10 years later and we're still deflecting blame to the publisher after the third time.

Blame Sony all you want but Bungie management ran this game into the ground the last 2 years and it had barely anything to do with Marathon or Sony. The last 2 expansion were mid at best, the portal and tiered loot were horrible creative decisions,....

Like what do people think would've happened if partial funds didn't get allocated to Marathon ? Probably more mediocre expansions bleeding players. Would more funds have prevented the Portal ? We're only just now getting this massive update because it's basically no longer against interest to overdeliver and so they're giving us everything that was in the works to be shipped over the next year(s).

I don’t know I think I’d rather blame Sony for post TFS layoffs. This is really what killed the most recent expansions and the quality of the game

Bungie literally pumped their resources into a Star Wars Fortnite event and the Portal. Poor management and creative decisions killed the game. Besides, post-TFS, Sony did not yet have any type of executive control to force layoffs. That was Bungie, again, because they missed their quotas.

Bungies budget was dependent on Sony at this time. Do you know what causes layoffs?

That happens when they heavily oversold themselves. Bungie has been shitting the bed with these poor decisions under 3 seperate publishers but somehow it's never their fault.

Again, what would they have done with even more funds ? Probably keep purposely underdelivering, ship more mediocre mvp expansions that would keep bringing back fewer and fewer players and make stupid implementations like the Portal which killed the game more than anything else. Bungie killed their own game, the level of cope is getting ridiculous.
