it is different. they lost their soul bargaining with devils. Its really simple what happened, in the beginning they made games they wanted to make because they had passion and loved what they were doing. As a result it was successful and made tons of money. Later on they wanted to make a ton of money so they made games. Now its in flames. Its really sad tho because ppl want to play destiny and even halo still, but the higher ups ruined everything with their lack of understanding.

@eg5909 I think the higher ups understood very well... I don't think any part of what happened to Bungie wasn't planned in some way. The higher ups wanted a big pay day, the easiest way to that big pay day was having a huge corporation buyout there stocks, and they found there mark in Sony... it is sad though cuz I really feel like the ground level employees were confident that there jobs were secure when the Final Shape rolled out to praise...

As an engineer and someone who worked in a corporate environment, what he is saying rings true. When companies begin to bring management and executives in from the outside (especially those from outside the industry you are in) it can be like a poison to the company's cultural body. And from what I've seen, once that happens it's almost always the original culture that is warped and gone forever. I remember when it first started happening at the company I worked for which was family owned and operated for over a hundred years. Once those people get into positions of power - especially hiring power - it's a done deal because they have the power to impose and mold the culture.

There are two individuals and their army of lawyers who are responsible for all of this; Everyone else is either a victim or going along with it because they're afraid they'll be fired too if they don't fall in line. Meanwhile, the creator of Bungie, Jason Jones has turned into a complete shut in and doesn't do anything except sit on the board and nod to the CEO's decisions these days, completely disillusioned, doesn't care anymore for anything aside Destiny 2's meta story, I think he is only kept around just so no one has to think long on ideas for each content drop they come up with every 4 months. With that said, Marty was at the centre of a lot of drama at Bungie over the years, he pushed hard for their independence from Microsoft, didn't like them crawling into bed with Activision immediately after either. This attitude divided the leadership of the company which pitted two sides of the company against each other and the side which agreed with Marty were all forced to leave.

Jason Jones is a literal old head of a completely different era of gaming and especially different era of the company. I don't understand the expectation of him being infinitely more involved when practically in any industry of any company, somebody at that status and tenure isn't going to be super hands on. I also wouldn't even be shocked if Jones kinda hated the direction Destiny eventually went towards with completely demystified because his signature with his earlier games was often simple enough metaphors and philosophical concepts intertwined with fantasy, mythology, and other references. But then again that goes to my original point, his involvement is more likely to be pretty light and it doesn't entirely matter what he does or doesn't do.

@@ionic_archangel2655 Well by suits it is just two people, both of whom were never OG Bungie company heads, one of whom was brought onboard from Microsoft as the company was going independent, one works in middle management and the other is in charge, he wasn't in charge till after Marty left though. What is weird is he retroactively got wiki to list him as CEO since 2004, which is untrue. Bungie never had a CEO from 2001 to 2008, but a series of CFOs who reported to a go between for them and Microsoft, a role which Marty himself filled during the Halo ODST/3 era. So, if that doesn't speak volumes I don't know what does. Again, never trust the internet it is full of lies. The Current CEO has only been in charge since 2015, before that he was head of marketing briefly then before that was the liaison between Microsoft and Bungie for 2 years.

I've see a couple comments and stuff asking what was the point of this interview? The point is, Marty is presenting parallels on how the bad leadership and corporate interest over creativity during his tenure and the troubles with todays Bungie mirror each other. He is also telling us how the original Bungie leadership and creatives were pushed out and replaced, which changed the spirit of the studio and the direction they would go. In the end all the creatives and visionaries who had the power to call shots and make change were forced out or left. Now the ones in charge are in it just for profit but wear the dead skin of a ounce independent Bungie, tugging at our nostalgia. With this insight, the Activison deal, poor launch on D1 and D2, the Eververse, Sony deal, and massive layoffs make sense. **EDIT for the idiots: this is Marty's perspective and he says as much through out the interview. Like the old saying goes; There's my truth, your truth, and The truth.

The statement about not being able to get Microsoft out of Bungie is interesting. Look at what Microsoft/Xbox just did to the japanese studio behind Hi-Fi Rush. The game won a few awards and was received pretty well by the players, yet they dropped the studio. Then, a day later, they said they want a Japanese that can make small, indie games that win awards. So he isn't wrong with the Microsoft statement.

Microsoft has done nothing but shoot themselves in the foot for two console generations. Arguably two and a half, since Sony handily came back from the brink near the end of the PS3s life. It’s insane to me that Microsoft has managed to make so many mistakes. You’d think a company as successful (and profitable) as them would know what makes their customer base happy. To be fair to them, they’ve also just been ahead of the curve in some aspects. Digital only media was ridiculous when they tried it initially, but then it all went that direction anyway. Gamepass is the first thing they’ve done in decades that has been well received from the jump. Of course, now every publisher and developer has their own or is planning on making their own. It’s the streaming bubble all over again…

Probably one of the worst gaming companies out there when you take account of the company’s culture, treatment of employees and consumers, and the games monetization. It’s probably second to activision and blizzard but honestly that’s debatable. The extreme monetization, eververse constantly gets stuff added, the prices increase and they charge 8$ for shaders, they charge for every little thing, force people to buy dlcs to play forsaken then take away those dlcs, made the game free after 2 years (really one year since vanilla d2 doesn’t really count), raised the prices of seasons and dlc while making the content smaller, whine about having to do their jobs like balancing guns and designing and adding ritual armor once a year, the constant obnoxious virtue signaling and discussion of politics, only to be exposed for treating their employees like dirt, management refusing to take a pay cut to help employees, ceo buying a bunch of cars while firing people. Such a great company.

"It's just a business decision" there was so much drama, the guy who fired Marty had a grudge against Marty due to the mishandling of marketing during Halo ODST and Halo 3 era and the incident on reddit was simply an excuse to get rid of him to deny him his money. Then the guy who did the firing was himself fired a year later after all the internet drama which the firing of Marty caused. Now a decade later somehow Bungie has managed to gaslight the entire Destiny community against Marty which is shameful. They're worse than the RWBY community, no joke. Meanwhile, the small number of Halo fans had either already left by 2015, the few hopefuls who stuck around for Destiny 2 started to crawl back to Microsoft when Halo Infinite released. As someone who was a fan of old Bungie, I stopped caring about their games and moved on around 2010.

After 3 months with no response I reported them to the BBB, and FINALLY 2 days later I got a response (Basically said its not the person who's banned, its the account, so even though I got hacked I'm still responsible for what happened on the account. Dumb AF logic but at least I got closure). Like seriously, over 3 months for a response to a ban appeal is fucking wild.

There was a mission in D1. I don't remember what it was called. It was against the Fallen where you had to fight your way through a bunch of Fallen adds onto the deck of a Ketch then up through it to the boss on the top level and then kill it. I used to run that mission, I think one of those featured adventures that were added after the season was ended, over and over just because of the music. It was a perfect match with that mission. It built in intensity and reached a perfect crescendo when the boss is finally offed. It was one of the best marriage of scene and music I've ever experienced in any game I've ever played.

Cross most companies that have share options for everyday employees generally only will do payouts based on the kind of program. If for example is it a company 401k with the retirement built in with the stocks the reason to do it annually is, those who leave before vesting loses theirs to all that remain. They also have to deal with the government regs for the 401k with stock. If they fired him prior to vesting then it could be they were looking at how much he had vested already or still had some that were in his portion for his payroll deductions. There are all kinds of options out there for the companies to do for their employees and for the company to hold an interest in the stocks as well.

My theory take it how you will: Pete Parsons has Sold out Bungie and by proxy Destiny so that he can get a high level job at Sony so he can then sell them out to Microsoft. Let's count it up: Pete was a high up in sales and marketing at Microsoft. He decided to quit to make points with bungie. Gets into Bungie even though many didn't want him in. After Bungie leaves Microsoft and gets in bed with Activision many got coerced out the door or fired yet Pete who was Microsoft not OG Bungie remained. After ups and downs Pete gets appointed CEO(how did an outsider get that CEO position is sus by itself) Soon after Pete makes an impossible deal with Sony Which Microsoft didn't attempt to counter i might add lightfall bombs causing revenue projections to fail by 40% 100 employees are laid off yet Pete still remained CEO. Meanwhile Bungie employees tell Sony their upcoming projects aren't gonna serve well as life services Sony delays their launch probably indefinitely (I smell sabotage by Pete's orders) Finally even with Pete Parsons again a man who has had extensive experience in marketing as CEO Final Shape failed even worse then lightfall which was a failure in it of itself, 220 were laid off due to this yet again Pete Parsons still remains CEO. At this point it can only be assumed with all his knowledge he should have known not to make that deal with Sony and should have been able to sell Final Shape better but on both accounts didn't. Why? He knew if Final Shape failed Sony would HAVE to take over due to contract. Now he's banking on Sony assimilating Bungie as the sacrificial lamb so he can get into Sony hopefully get appointed as a higher up. If and when that happens he can start sabotaging Sony from within while selling their secrets to Microsoft his true employer and Sony's chief rival not just in games but in technology software and hardware. Again this is just a theory but the line of events add up just too well. And if this does happen ohh boy buckle up folks cause this will cause a war in the courts that will forever shake the gaming and technological world to their cores dwarfing the console wars.

Fascinating theory. Kinda 4D chess. Imagine a microsoft guy sneaking into a studio to be HYDRA and he overvalues the projects, says they have 5 amazing games in development, sells up the studio to Microsoft’s competitors as being worth Billions. That competition Sony buys it for 3 billion worried that Microsoft would buy it 1st (even though secretly Microsoft won’t and knows it will crash) so Sony spends 3 BILLION And whoops those 5 games in development are scrapped, Destiny is crashing, marathon is getting terrible internals, whoops Sony just wasted 3 BILLION for a studio that was about to be insolvent and worth 30 bucks. Lolz. Got em. Made Sony waste billions. And the idea Pete and Bungie were convincing Sony to scrap Last of Us or other games …. Secretly helping Microsoft Man. Its a fascinating idea.

Well I guess it's safe to assume that Destiny is truly owned by Sony given that former Microsoft executives were in charge of that deal, because I find it hard for Sony to pay $3.2 billion without some sort of stake in the deal. Personally I don't think that's a bad thing not to say that Sony is a "saint" of a company but they certainly do have a good track record when it comes to developing video games. I don't think Sony will do what EA did with Anthem it seems Destiny is in good hands.

23:45 Retirement plan related vesting is completely up to the company. Standard is 3y-5y but companies go up to ~7y employment before your are fully vested, meaning that you own a portion of the shares owed to you yearly if you leave the company (one third of your earned shares leave with you if you leave after your 1st year of a 3y vest-schedule with the company). The reason companies do the yearly thresholds, again - completely by choice, is to control turnover. They want people to stay with the company so they hold the employment term over your head, affecting your decision to leave, as well as saving the company from paying you out if they end up firing you. It's all above-board and legal, and employees agree to this retirement setup because our other choice is *not having a job*. or self-funding an IRA. or doing retail trading on the side.

Its so incredibly sad how amazing Bungie used be in the glory days of the Halo series and how much faith I had in them making a banger of a game that people would love, and then see how low it has become and just a rollercoaster through hell. Bungie was probably the last studio I had absolute faith in in the gaming industry. How much passion and love I had for video games as I was growing up. I used to want to become a game developer because it was something I did love, same with live streaming/youtube. It seems since the early 20-teens(years) that the gaming industry just started to really just be a corporate bs gig to reap money from suckers. Passion has died for a lot of it, a lot of games is either about a cash grab or a political statement/agenda thing for the last several years. I apologize for the long monologue but just wanted to get it out.

Halo series under Bungie was great and it what made Bungie. To make it Xbox only was an amazing move by Microsoft, it was smart, and correct. You, generally speaking, can't be mad at this as it's something we talk about almost weekly, "Xbox needs more exclusives"...... The biggest difference is atmosphere. Modern Bungie is a shadow of it's former self. I feel they care more about being progressive, then making a great game. Where old Bungie put feelings aside and focus on the game... It's hard being a player who wants an amazing but also wants to care about the devs. You want a healthy atmosphere, but also a great game. Usually you get one or another.

What i think people really want is simply good memorable titles, if they weren't exclusive i think they'd have the exact same effect. Exclusivity was at best just something these companies wanted to do as a means to make more money via competition. In actuality if these companies weren't doing exclusivity deals then we'd probably be happier as a whole, never worrying about crossplay and having to buy multiple consoles. Its basically why pc has been heralded as "master race" (corny i know) for decades.

Just started the video and wanted to comment on the thumbnail… When Bungie was with Microsoft they were much more customer friendly with transparency, pricing, and microtransactions. Microsoft kept the greed of Bungie in check. 2:19 if his biggest complaint about Microsoft is they wouldn’t let them make them create a PC port (so they could sell more Xbox units) then they had it pretty good. Xbox was the new kid on the block battling gaming juggernauts Sony, Sega, and Nintendo for console sales. If they had made a PC port then their Xbox console crashes and burns. So that business decision should’ve been perfectly understandable given how much financial backing and limelight Microsoft gave in return to Bungie. It’s not like Microsoft enslaved bungie. I’ll tell ya though, people forget, but Halo 2 introduced dlcs to console FPS’s with their multiplayer map packs. However, they were only $15-20 per map pack ($5/map). After 3 months the map pack became… FREE. Halo 2 also didn’t have rotating maps or PvP game modes. All the maps and PvP modes ever made were always available. 24/7, 365 days a year. Halo 2 also released as a fully developed game with a considerable campaign and a revolutionary online PvP mode. Given the difference in Destiny’s fundamental design with rotating content and barren, empty content offerings at launch (of D1 and D2) I find it hard to say Microsoft was the bad guy. Since they separated from Microsoft, Bungie only became a demonstrably worse game developer. 21:58 remember when he said whatever he wanted as long as he was honest and not nasty? I remember. 1:16:37 I think you were a more customer friendly company under Microsoft than at any other time and I believe Bungie’s business models prove that.

I think the culture against Microsoft was one thing that helped them. Once they got with Activision they did not fight, they did as Activision wanted and push back got you pushed out of the company. One thing that comes to mind is ODST being sold for $60, but Bungie planned on doing $30 and Microsoft wanted $60. However with profit sharing it benefits them too, unlike earlier games where they were all purely salary and no profit sharing.
