Destiny maker Bungie gets hit with mass layoffs

One of gaming’s best-known studios, Halo and Destiny creator Bungie, is laying off 220 workers to get the company on better financial footing, according to a Tuesday announcement by CEO Pete Parsons. To soften the blow, the affected people are being offered severance, bonuses, and health insurance. Some job losses were avoided by sending 155 people over to Sony Interactive Entertainment, Bungie’s parent company.
