Microsoft is planning to launch a discless Xbox Series X console in white later this year, alongside a new Galaxy Black special edition Xbox Series X.

Strings to Pete's bow:

By Laboured Go To PostGrubb saying Bungie is going to get fully subsumed into Sony Studios anyway.

I remember the Friday before the first layoffs, me and another CM were in the lobby and I was literally talking about how I didn't have enough money for groceries and that employee services was an angel for helping me have food since I was told to drop all of my side jobs when Chew got laid off. Pete walked right up to us and bragged about a few new EXPENSIVE cars he bought and that we should come to his house and see them. After hearing how we weren't making enough money (we did not make Dylan's money, Dylan was senior and we were not allowed to go for any senior roles without our department - he also made shit money when he first started - the pay was atrocious if you were in soft skills)

I remember looking right at them and being like "Was that weird, why couldn't he look us in the eye" and just having a bad feeling. I was told I was being too paranoid, but it didn't sit right. Cue Monday morning getting an HR invite at 6 am - even though I said specifically I would never talk to HR without a manager present due to horrible interactions with the head of HR there (she's gone, thankfully). When I couldn't get a response on what the meeting was, I knew.

Then I started digging. And I have not stopped digging since October. There's so much more to this that won't come out for a few more years to protect people, but I just want to say this: This falls squarely on leadership. There were amazing members of leadership, Joe and Catarina among them, but the problem at the top has been a problem since the 90s. How QA has been treated, how the devs have been treated - If you dared to ask any questions about "Hey, this doesn't seem right" you were instantly labeled " Anti-Bungie. Some members of LT didn't want a studio, they wanted a cult to worship their legacy. So we're going to take your legacy, because it is owed. ESPECIALLY the people you threw away that have spent their entire careers - some close to 20 years - with you. For you. In spite of themselves.
