Today, Bungie announced that it was laying off 220 employees, or approximately 17 percent of its workforce.

If you’re not aware of what 4DX is, it’s a movie format specific to Regal Cinemas whereby the theater chairs rock, shake, and rattle along with action, water sprays in your face, wind whips your hair, and more. It’s like a Disney ride but during a movie, and seeing Twisters in this format was, as I’ve said, like a religious experience.
