Bungie is going through a significant crisis, and today, a report revealed details about the issues the Destiny company is facing at a labor and managerial level. A crucial part of this situation is that Destiny 2 has collapsed financially, and Sony could take full control in an unexpected turn of events, something that didn't go unnoticed by David Jaffe.
David Jaffe: Naughty Dog should give advice to Bungie on how to be profitable
Scandal surrounds Bungie after an IGN report shared testimonies from workers detailing all the problems within the company and the internal dispute that has formed with Sony. This has resulted in decisions made by the executives of the company responsible for Destiny that go against their own employees.
As if this weren't enough, David Jaffe, the creator of God of War, didn't miss the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment and posted the following on his Twitter account: "Maybe Naughty Dog should give advice to Bungie on how to be profitable."
What is the origin of David Jaffe's controversial statement against Bungie?
In case you're unaware, David Jaffe's comment has a backstory, and it goes back to a tense moment that occurred some time ago at PlayStation Studios. Reports indicated that Bungie, at the behest of Jim Ryan, reviewed various multiplayer projects in PlayStation studios, ]including the one Naughty Dog was developing for The Last of Us: Part II.
The information at that time revealed that Bungie harshly criticized the project, and this condemned it to the point where it's unknown if it's still active or was canceled by Naughty Dog, although the studio insists that the process is still ongoing. Concurrently, it was considered that Jim Ryan, through Bungie, was trying to control the development processes to continue with his plan in favor of games as a service, thinking that his cash cow, Call of Duty, would become the property of Microsoft.
Jim Ryan fell, also some games as a service and multiplayer projects from Sony are in limbo after the sudden change in strategy, and today, the powerful Bungie seems to yield to the mistakes of its executives and those of PlayStation, something that did not escape David Jaffe's radar, who didn't hold back.
