Marcus Lehto leaves Bungie (again)
Apparently, via [url=http://puu.sh/1bwFw]Twitter[/url], Marcus Lehto has left Bungie after initially being brought back to work on a top-secret project that still remains a mystery, with [url=http://puu.sh/1bwJb]no intention[/url] of returning.
Super sad news, however it leaves a variety of questions unanswered: Is the project finished? Did the project get abandoned? Did disagreements between him and Bungie open the door to his absence? Either way, good luck to him in the future, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for his work.
Personally, I heard he partnered up with CliffyB. Not really, but that would be awesome.

Wherever he goes, I hope he and his family do well. It doesn't seem like any of the recent Grizzleds have left due to internal disputes (for all we'll ever know), just either wanting to be closer to family, or wanting to join developers that are smaller. Not [url=http://www.43folders.com/2011/04/22/cranking]everyone[/url] wants to have work totally dominate their time, causing them to miss out on their family. And, Bungie is [i]huge[/i] now. Some people like working at smaller places due to how intimate they are, or due to wanting a new challenge. Anyway you put it, though, he deserves some (more) time off. Making Myth and Halo are huge accomplishments, and whatever he'll do next should be interesting.
