It was wrong for Bungie to take his stock and not pay his vacation time. Though it really sounded like he completely over reacted, and all over one commercial.

Though to some he may have overreacted, I still think that he had the right. Very disrespectful on Activision's part. And kicking him off without his proper pays was even douchier.

Edited by PizzaMan725: 9/7/2015 2:33:23 PMOh he has every right to act how he wants, but to cause a shit storm over one commercial is a bit much.
-
I think it was bold of him to stand up against Activision instead of just taking their shit. He takes pride in his music, and if anyone screws with that, he's evidently gonna be mad.
-
There's nothing wrong with taking pride in your work, and I don't know or care to know the man personally so I can only go off of another's written words about him. But to me he seems like a pompous person that has a his way or highway attitude. It's not like they were scraping his work in the game or suggesting changes to it altogether, they just decided to not use it for one commercial. To be honest I really doubt people are going to base their opinion of the game on what background music is being played in one commercial, maybe they do but still the music that gets played won't sole threaten the delivery of the product.
-
The commercial wasn't the first thing, according to the reports that was the straw that broke the camels back as they say. Personally I think getting the right music is really important as it sets the tone. Look at the Gears from the past with Mad World. Or even just consider O'Donnell's previous work for Bungie on Halo, the "chanting monks" are reknown and instantly associated with Halo.
-
Of course in the finished game yes it matters, but for a commercial someone may only see once that's another story.
-
Sorry but I disagree. Like I said the Gears Mad World trailer had the impact because of that music. I remember people at the time asking about the game by referencing the song. If you had put other music to that it just wouldn't have had anywhere near the impact or interest. A more recent example would be the trailer that was released for Dead Island 2 at E3 2014 (I think) that was another trailer that worked because of the music that accompanied especially at a time when there was so much attention.
-
Different strokes for different folks, for me at least I can't remember the music behind it.
-
It would be boring if we were all the same
-
Probably not if that's how it was, but I agree.
-
True, but Activision beforehand had little interest in releasing his music as an album, which really wouldn't effect the gameplay/story in Destiny anyways as long as there were appropriate titles. Marty was angry as well when Activision was expanding past its original role as a publisher. Their job isn't within Marty's boundaries, so like any man who'd walk into a bear den (him being the bear), he got pissed.
-
I have no comment on the first point. It wouldn't change anything to let him have published the music, hell maybe if they had he wouldn't have cared about the commercial. Isn't one of it's tiles from the contracts to have some or all control over marketing advertisements? So it really wouldn't be a overstep to decide the music for a commercial.
-
He was ensured that his music would be used in the trailer only to be lied to. Wouldn't that trigger you even the slightest bit? Trust is important in these companies. If there is none, then they collapse bit by bit.
