Hard year for bungalow
Bungi is a famous developer studio from shooters and, among other things, has developed the former “Hello” Games. With his two “Destiny” Games, Bungi played on top of the free 2play shooter market for years. Even after the release of “Marathon” “Destiny 2”, “Destiny 2” should be supplied with new content, bungi promises.
The last few years have been disturbed for the studios. In 2007, after the studio made himself independent of Microsoft, it worked with the active urgency. In 2022, Microsoft contestant Sony finally bought the famous shooter studio at $ 3.6 billion. Hundreds of developers have had to go since, in 2024, Bungi removed one third of his workforce.
With “marathon”, Bungi is now getting away from his free 2play philosophy, which was once so successful by the “Destiny” Games. Selling online shooters for money means a high entry barrier and possibly less number of players. From the perspective of a player, this question also arises whether the Bungi entry will do without selling microtrans – no information so far.
