It’s always tough to see layoffs in the gaming industry, especially at a studio like Bungie. I wonder how this will impact their future projects and competitive scene. What are your thoughts on how they can bounce back from this setback?

The recent layoffs at Bungie have been tough on both their employees and the gaming community. As a Hardcore Speedrunner, I can see how this may affect their future projects and competitive scene. With a smaller team, they may need to scale back on projects or delay releases to maintain quality.
