Hey @discord @discord_support your AI or whatever auto system you’re using is awful. Multiple people, that are all adults can no longer see all channels because your system isn’t good enough. This is why we canceled Nitro. This shouldn’t happen.

And again, bad leadership affects many people’s lives. Just wishing the best to all those affected today.

Joe is always pushing himself and doing amazing work.
The journey is the goal. I make games because I love making things, I love to learn and to improve. Keep track of your progress so you can look back to where you have been.

Xbox has caused more layoffs across the industry these past few years than people even realize, and it looks like it's about to get worse, unfortunately.
Dear gaming community, For a good while, it has been all positive news from IO Interactive. We remain humbled and honored by the response to our latest outing with a young, unproven Bond. A bold new story and a take on one of the most famous characters in entertainment, which the world has embraced with love. However, today we have to share some more downbeat news. A relationship with an external partner on our own IP, Project Fantasy, has come to an end. This means we have to adapt to this new reality and its short-term consequences, including staffing decisions, which is what is happening as we write this update, and we are fully committed to supporting those affected through this challenging transition. Project Fantasy is a game, a world, and an IP that we absolutely love and remain 100% committed to, now and in the future. This wonderful universe will see the light of day.

My thoughts go out to all the amazing, talented people affected at Bungie today. You all poured your hearts and souls into your job. This is not your fault. You went above and beyond doing what you were told and how you were led.

I loved working with him and I finally got to meet @robbiedaymond in person. He is a gem of a person. The best part was watching how he interacted with every single fan and gave each care and attention. Thanks for everything Robbie for your kindness and signing my little Fret.

I will always have some truly special memories with friends playing through this journey to Final Shape.
Read the full blog at bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026 For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to. We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us. From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

Key person risk is the potential for severe financial or operational disruption if a critical individual, such as a specialized employee, suddenly terminated or cannot perform their duties. It occurs when vital knowledge, relationships, or skills are concentrated in one person, threatening business continuity. Evan was a “key person”
