Okay what the FUCK bungie?!
If you don't know, as a part of the layoffs from bungie as of yesterday, 10/30/2023, 8% of all bungie employees were fired.
The reason for this specific day? So benefits and shares held by employees were returned to the company at the end of each month if they were no longer employed. A.K.A, today.
Among them, MICHEAL SALVATORI and MICHEAL SECHRIST were laid off.
Micheal Salvatori being the "Halo" and "Destiny 2" composer, and Sechrist, the person responsible for the beautiful melody known as Deep Stone Lullaby.
Frankly these mass layoffs were disgusting, but this is out of fucking control.
As an aspiring composer myself, these two are my idols. Hard times befall the best of us, and this is proof.
If you'd like more information you can watch Aztecross's video, posted here:
Otherwise, if you are able to, send love and support to these wonderful composers, and everyone at Bungie who recently lost thier jobs.
For me, I'm still in love with Destiny, as I always will be, but instead of The Final Shape, this seems to be The Final Straw.
I look forward to seeing what the future brings and I really hope that these composers are seen again within the video game world. They are my childhood, and my heroes.
