In a surprisingly quiet exchange between seasoned Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier and a curious reader, a wave of misinformation has swept across social media, with several users claiming that Sony is “angry” with Naughty Dog. The rumor mill was set in motion when Schreier posted an exclusive update on Bungie’s future on the emerging platform Bluesky.
For those who missed the scoop, the Washington‑based studio is winding down its involvement with Destiny 2 and has yet to unveil a new project. Industry insiders anticipate that the Sony‑owned subsidiary will face layoffs as it continues to support Marathon while plotting its next move.
The broader community has been left wondering why the team hasn’t immediately shifted focus to a potential Destiny 3, especially after the 2024 release of The Final Shape, which appeared to bring the long‑running series’ narrative to a close. The silence has sparked speculation about the studio’s next steps and the future of the franchise.
When the rumor spread across social media, it quickly became a viral sensation—tweets, memes, and headlines proliferated for an entire hour before industry journalist Matthew Schreier could even respond.
Schreier clarified that the confusion stemmed from his own brief comment: he had reported that Sony had declined to greenlight Destiny 3 because of its projected expense. A commenter mistakenly suggested that Sony’s concerns were limited to the cost of the title itself, not the broader budgetary implications for Naughty Dog.
Schreier’s follow‑up made it clear: “I said of course they had an issue with Naughty Dog’s costs,” he wrote, and he was frustrated that the internet had twisted his words into a narrative that Sony was “angry at Naughty Dog.” He deemed the interpretation absurd.
