Bungie Employees Praise Developer’s Health Insurance Plan

Bungie employees discuss one of the major benefits of working with Bungie: a much beloved and very reliable health care plan.

Bungie is well established as a game developer that creates excellent sci-fi first person shooters. The primary example right now is Destiny 2, the most successful looter shooter out at the moment.

However, while most players are familiar with the gameplay of Destiny 2 and its ups and downs, on the industry side, Bungie shines as a major goal for many developers. There are many reasons for this, with perhaps the chief one being the care with which Bungie treats its developers. A major part of that is the health insurance plan that comes with employment.

Bungie's employees seem to love the health insurance plan that the company provides and are not shy about praising it. In a tweet, one employee declared that Bungie "has hands-down the best health insurance I've ever had as an adult. It's such a relief." There are multiple responses to the tweet praising Bungie's health insurance plan in a similar vein. With Bungie hiring to bring Destiny to TV and movies, it may well be the new positions involved are competitive for the health plan offered, among other reasons.

The extent to which the health insurance plan makes life easier is expanded on by another tweet, presumably also from a Bungie employee. The tweet talks about how the health insurance plan ensures that "you can walk into any doctor's office and look at reception light up when they realize what insurance you have." That sort of security takes a load off the shoulders of anyone who lives in a country with privatized health insurance. While Destiny 2 players sometimes highlight problems with the game, it's clear that on the development side people couldn't be happier with their insurance.

Most telling of all is a tweet that says "I know people who left their old studios and came to Bungie specifically for the healthcare." Other tweets echoed the sentiment, with some talking hopefully of working for Bungie for the same reason. Like the Destiny 2 community coming together to explain the game, Bungie developers come together to talk about why the company itself is so great.

Amidst the often negative news about game developers these days, like the ongoing lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, it's nice to know there's one big gaming company beloved by the players who play its titles and by the developers working for it. Here's hoping that Bungie continues to treat its employees right.
