<title>Justin &quot;Overdelivery&quot; Truman stepping down as Studio Head... (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welp, right after I made a callback in my last post, lol.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/jasonschreier.bsky.social/post/3mp4stadbc22h">Jason Schreier</a>, Truman is out following the layoffs, and word is that Poria Torkan (formerly VP of Operations) is the new lead of what remains.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forgive my pessimism.</p>
<p>Even <em>if</em> they turn Marathon into a game with more mainstream appeal, the marketing budget that will be required to get people interested in it again is going to be astronomical.</p>
<p>I want it to succeed. It&#039;s just hard to see a path forward from where I&#039;m sitting. Regardless, my condolences go out to the many, many people impacted by today&#039;s layoffs.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Also, Jason Schreier said:</p>
<p>Today&#039;s layoffs include most of the Destiny team, some people on the Marathon team, and even various Sony staff who supported Bungie, according to people familiar with the situation.</p>
</blockquote><p>He&#039;s getting this from Herman Hulst, who published his own <a href="http://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/an-update-from-playstation-studios-2/">internal email</a> to Sony Interactive&#039;s website.</p>
<p>For anyone out there who still doubts the erosion of Bungie&#039;s independence, the wording of this memo strongly implies that SIE took the decision to enact layoffs themselves.</p>

</blockquote><p>Does this include whoever greenlit the idea to pay 3.6 billion dollars for Bungie?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“With great sadness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we reorganize Bungie. As the leaders of Bungie, past and present, we recognize Destiny 2 fell short of expectations these past several years. Following our final content update to Destiny 2, and with our future projects still in early incubation, we unfortunately could not continue operating at our previous size.</p>
<p>We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates. While these changes are necessary to best position the studio now and for the future, that does not lessen the difficulty of this moment or the impact it has on those affected.</p>
<p>Later, we will share more about that future with you all but today is not that day.</p>
<p>Today, we wish to extend our gratitude and compassion to every member of the Bungie team who has been impacted and to those who remain.</p>
<p>We hope you will do the same.</p>
<p>- Bungie”</p>
<p>Obviously knew this was coming, but I still hate it.</p>
<p>Also, Jason Schreier said:</p>
<p>Today&#039;s layoffs include most of the Destiny team, some people on the Marathon team, and even various Sony staff who supported Bungie, according to people familiar with the situation.</p>
