Live Now
Published May 13, 2026 • Duration: 00:00
Description
Is Bungie facing its final days as an independent studio? Sony just reported a staggering $765 million loss on their Bungie acquisition, and a bombshell report from Forbes' Paul Tassi suggests the studio is at a crossroads: Support Marathon or Save Destiny.
In today’s live show, we’re breaking down why Bungie can no longer afford to support both titles simultaneously. With Marathon struggling to maintain a player base and Destiny 2 suffering from severe neglect, is a "hard reset" with Destiny 3 the only path forward? Or has the $200 million investment into an extraction shooter already sealed Bungie's fate?
Topics covered:
The $765M Sony Impairment Loss: What it means for Bungie.
Paul Tassi’s "Marathon vs. Destiny" ultimatum.
Why Destiny 2 fans feel "abandoned" in 2026.
Rumors: Is Destiny 3 actually in development?
The future of Sony’s live-service strategy.
