Bungie's Destiny 2 Layoff Debacle, Ghostcrawler's New MMO & The Day Before's Newest Delay

11/3/2023
Imagine that, The Day Before is back on Steam, but the "launch" has been delayed and will now be an early access that costs you $39 to get into with no launch window announced. Cryptic Studios and Bungie's Destiny 2 teams are being laid off in some of the worst ways possible, Ghostcrawler is heading yet another team working on an MMO that is at best years away, and Throne and Liberty is making monetization changes! All that and more on this week's Always Online!
