However, my mother have this notion that I will never amount to anything….little does she know that I have given up the fight to win her approval. My sister is the star of the family and who happens to be 12 years younger than me. My mother does not treat her the way she treats me. She gets so much more freedom than me. It does hurt…after all I’m a human being.
I’ve come to understanding that its my life and I have to be the one to live it.
To me this reads like corporate greed and nothing else.
Here's my take on the cycle Bungie is trapped in and how they got there:
They sold to Sony to get sizeable payouts on their owned shares and they over-inflated the value of the company whilst doing that. Sony is now asking where the money is. In response, the senior team at Bungie claim that the economy is hard and then passes on all the consequences of their actions onto the workforce. In doing so, they destroy the day-to-day working of the company because nobody actually wants to work there anymore and it just becomes a place where everyone is utterly despondent. The revenue continues to fall, and the senior team continue to respond to the falling revenue by passing more layoffs/discipline/cruelty onto their employees. Eventually there is a surplus of managers left at Bungie and nobody to actually do the work. They desperately try to plug these gaps with contractors and outsourced staff but the burden of training people to work within a 7 year old code base that is riddled with spaghetti and bugs just means that nobody can actually successfully build anything. Bungie as a company will not survive long enough to make Destiny 3.
