Today's a bad day for Bungie, as the company had to cut off a lot of its staff following what would presumably be the fallout of past corporate decisions from its current owner. But even legends aren't safe from the metaphorical guillotine. We found out that longtime Bungie composer Michael Salvatori is among the many

I found it funny that they fought so hard to regain their independence from Microsoft just to sell to Sony a decade later. Seems like a ship of Theseus situation

Or even just Activision almost immediately after leaving Microsoft. They never even released anything without having a “master”

Marathon was a blast (and Halo incorporated many elements of it).

The people who fought for independence are no longer the ones running the company. Just like with InfinityWard, the people who made the company what it is have long since left or been fired/laid off. The studio is only the same in name and by what IPs it owns. Other than that it’s basically entirely different.
