Bungie

A developer with 19 years of experience at Xbox has called on Microsoft to rehire staff laid off from Bungie, Halo Studios and other studios, arguing they are 'bursting with talent' and could shape the future of the Halo franchise. The comments come as uncertainty surrounds Activision's plans for the series, with no clear direction announced. The remarks add to ongoing debate about industry layoffs and how studios should retain experienced games talent.
