Possible. I have seen many employees who were great at their job,(Aircraft mechanics, Avionics mechanics, IT support. Quality Control support and so on...) who get promoted to management and become so marred in being a manager for that department that they forget what got them that position in the first place. Then with so much pressure from the top, they do whats best for stock holders and the people who control the money, so yes it's possible that that at one time, years ago he was a great game tester but as time went on and he moved up he become part of the problem.

Yeah so many people want someone to blame for Destinys life-ruining issues. Harold Ryan stepping down from Bungie is bad news, and yet all these kids think it's great news. He's been an instrumental part of Bungie for a long long time.
