Earlier this week, the center release an additional 220-- an amazingly high 17% of its workforce-- while also moving 12% of its remaining staff to its moms and dad company, Sony.Bungie executive Pete Parsons pointed out "rising prices of growth," "sector switches," as well as "long-lasting economical conditions" as the factor for the mass cutbacks, which affected "very most" of Bungie's manager and also elderly leader placements.
