An anonymous and concerning email, received by a Destiny 2 content creator, has revealed a major internal conflict between the Sony Entertainment and Bungie leadership regarding their cooperation.

Destiny 2 content creator "Aztecross" recently uploaded a video, sharing a concerning email that he received from an alleged Sony insider. The email says that Sony and Bungie are currently having a big disagreement. Sony is frustrated with Bungie because their investment hasn't worked out well and is internally even seen as "a failed investment". As a result, they're talking about changing Bungie's leadership. Also, Bungie's upcoming DLC pre-orders aren't as high as expected, making Sony even more worried.

The email explains Sony's disappointment with Bungie's leaders and how they are running things. Allegedly, they keep missing money targets and have trouble scheduling meetings. Sony thinks taking over Bungie might help both sides. On one hand, they want to make Destiny more profitable, but are also against more aggressive monetization methods.

Overall, the email claims that there is immense tension between Sony and Bungie, and it could affect the future of Destiny and other Bungie projects. With "Into The Light" coming out on April 9, this email seems extremely concerning. If the release doesn't meet their shared goals, then this could potentially mean the end for Bungie in the leading role of Destiny 2.
