As the dust settles on the mass layoffs at Bungie following the end of Destiny 2 support, fans are looking for anywhere to channel their frustration with how Sony and Bungie management handled the original Halo studio after the $3.6 billion acquisition in 2022. While online posts can only take you so far, someone has channeled their disdain for the company’s upper management into something productive: a browser game that oozes contempt for Pete Parsons, the studio’s ex-CEO who reportedly spent millions of dollars on classic cars following the acquisition while hundreds of employees were suffering layoffs.
Parsons left Bungie in 2025, but he’s still considered a face of the downfall of the studio post-acquisition, and his car spending spree has stuck to him like a tick even after his leaving the company. That is the basis of Pete Carsons: The Final Car, a game in which you throw tomatoes at Parsons and multiple cars that drive by the screen with names like “Crunch Enforcer” and “Micromanager.” Parsons himself appears as a png with a flappy head akin to a South Park Canadian, and is given the title “Destroyer of Guardians,” in reference to Bungie and Sony’s gradual degradation of Destiny 2. If you’re feeling any kind of way about what’s happened at Bungie, take a moment to give the game a go, but it is best played on a monitor, so your phone might not be the best way to go.
Do you have what it takes to face Pete Carsons in the Vault of Cars and stop him from purchasing all of the remaining cars in The Last City?

The game launched yesterday, July 7, which has historically been “Bungie Day.” Typically the day has been cause to celebrate the studio’s long history, but the mood was obviously dampened this year. Nearly 300 workers were laid off at Bungie last month, which included “most” of the Destiny 2 team and some folks who are working on Marathon, the studio’s current extraction shooter hotness. Those still left at the company have been putting out a few hotfixes for Destiny 2, but have been candid with fans on social media that they can’t promise a fix for every issue now that the team has been whittled down so much.
