Official Luke Smith And Mark Noseworthy Have Resigned From Bungie

[Sphinx]

"[Smith and Noseworthy] were labelled as working on Payback. It was going to be the next big thing for Destiny, but not Destiny 3," Grubb said. "Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy are no longer at Bungie. They were let go. They were caught in the executive and leadership shakeup mentioned in the blogpost. Payback has been shelved."

Sources have clarified that Smith and Noseworthy's departure came as the Payback project was shut down, after which executive restructuring meant they had no path forward at Bungie.

Grub claimed " I said this happened as part of the layoffs, but it's probably more accurate to say that they "left due to the leadership restructuring." Like, it's all related, but they were not laid off. Either way, they are no longer at the studio."

In other words they resigned and left off their own will and were not part of the layoffs.

Both those guys had horrible ideas and have done nothing for the game in years? I’m surprised they weren’t let go sooner

Bungie in 6 months is going to shrink back to an indie sized studio at this rate.
