Lars Bakken, Scott Taylor, and Tyson Green are all gone. It appears that Alison Luhrs survived the purge. Luke Timmons, ME Chung, and Shi Kai Wang are at teamLFG, so I guess they're insulated from all of this. Chris Butcher and Achronos seem to have made it as well.

Are you getting this from Twitter? I'm truly shocked that Lars is out. I thought he was one of the main Marathon guys.

From a combination of sources. Lars Bakken, Scott Taylor, and Alison Luhrs have updated their LinkedIn profiles. Tyson Green and Jason Jones's job titles are listed on the WARN notice Bungie was required to file with the State of Washington because they're implementing a mass layoff.

Butcher and Achronos are more guesswork on my part, but given that Butcher is the enigneering director for the Tiger Engine and Achronos is the lead server architect at Bungie, they can't really afford to lose either of those guys. There is no indication that either of them were dismissed, and there are remarkably few technical roles on the WARN notice in any case.

Lars was the Senior Design Lead on Marathon. He was a core team member.
