Following news of yesterday's layoffs at Bungie, CEO Pete Parsons has faced criticised from staff for spending millions on classic cars since the studio was purchased by Sony in 2022 and bragging about his lavish collection, as the company headed towards this week's latest brutal round of job losses. Parsons described yesterday's layoffs as "some of the most difficult changes we've ever had to make as a studio" in a blog post, citing the rising costs of development, industry shifts, and "enduring economic conditions" as key reasons for the cutbacks. Former Destiny 2 community manager Liana Ruppert shared a story on social media of struggling to find money for groceries while working at Bungie, while Parsons "bragged about a few new expensive cars he bought and that we should come to his house and see them."
