Ex-dev: Bungie nearly shut before Sony buyout

Former Bungie community manager Liana Ruppert said the studio was "below the red line" before Sony acquired it for $3.6 billion in 2022, calling it an "emergency acquisition." Ruppert claimed Bungie was "very close to shutting its doors" if the deal had not happened. The revelation follows Destiny 2's end of development and fan demands for Destiny 3.
