Bungie alienated its old community ON PURPOSE

I was writing up a Marty Tribute thread when I realized the real reason they fired him--it was not some arbitrary sexual harassment thing or some kind of attitude problem. Bungie fired Marty to fuc­k over its fans. And they did not do it by accident, in fact they strategically planned it all out. Marty's unwarranted forced departure was the final straw in a long line of fuc­k ups and bad decisions on Bungie's part that made the majority of the old community leave. But as I am now discovering, Bungie didn't [i]accidentally[/i] do this. Bungie got its old community to leave because they did not want their old community to have a voice in the new Destiny community. Why was this you ask? Because Bungie wanted a younger audience to cater to; they did not want their aging Halo fans playing Destiny. But why wouldn't Bungie want as many people playing Destiny as they can? Well, that's because younger audiences have lower standards as they haven't been exposed to all that many videogames, and thus, Bungie can save money by delivering shittier products in more expensive bundles so long as they are selling it to an ignorant population of people. THIS is the reason why Marty was fired. It was all a part of Bungie's master plan to scam stupid kids and to have a minimum amount of backfire from those would call out Bungie on their bullshit. I've been saying this for years, but Bungie is no longer the friendly faced group of videogame creators they were a decade ago. Bungie is a corrupt corporation who has no intention of delivering quality games to their fans. They only care about making money and if they can do that by scamming dumb kids then they will not hesitate to do so. The only question that remains is whether or not Marty was in on it, or if he was just a victim to Bungie's vitriolic business agenda.

      • Fun fact: Marty killed Johnson. [spoiler]If you watch one of the H3 behind the scenes features, Marty says that the first draft didn't have enough sacrifice in it. There wasn't a heavy emotional toll for winning the war and completing the game. We can extrapolate that to mean he suggested to Staten and the rest that one or more main characters should die.[/spoiler]

        • Remember someone talking about this. I think it was bdobbinsftw. His theory was something like this. Bungie doesn't care about old community they just want to hook kids for their ten year plan. He thought they were more likely to stick around than the vets

        • It's def not the same Bungie of Halo days. Most of them left and are working for 343i or independent. Curious to see what Martys new game company will produce.

            • No shit they fired him on purpose. They felt like they didn't need him now that they had shitty indie bands and Paul McCartney, They got rid of Staten because they could have any writer they wanted, The staff removed their gamertags and only uses PSN now. They're obviously trying to alienate their older fanbase, because they feel like we tie them to microsoft.
