I hate to point this out, but bungie is bungie. This isn't a different bungie, they wasn't bought out by another company, nor did another company buy the rights to rename their company Bungie..
Sure Bungie has gone through the typical employee turnover like every single company in existence. However it doesn't make Bungie any less Bungie.
Just with every company, you may like a product they make, but it doesn't mean you will like every product they make, or will ever make.

As ghostly said. It wasnt a typical turnover of staff where they nurtured and passed on their philosophy and culture. Most of the halo team quit or were let go. Moved to 343 or other game dev companies. Marty was wrongfully terminated because he was one of the ones who stood up for what was wrong with thr activision partnership. That partnership did not play out as bungie originally wanted and as a result, destiny was reinitiated half a year before launch.

This wasn’t your typical employee turnover, a huge portion of their talent quit, got wrongfully fired, or stuck with 343. Marty took things to court and won, which I doubt would have happened over your “typical turnover.” No, the core of bungie is gone; they saw what was happening and jumped ship as soon as they had the chance for the most part. And I can’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to be associated or responsible for the the shitshow that destiny’s become. It’s embarrassing to be part of the community now, there’s just no bright side or beacon of hope anymore.

Despite how the turnover happened, or how you may want to veiw it. Doesn't change the fact that Bungie is Bungie. Employee turnover is irrelevant to that fact.
