In conclusion: - Man is angry at Activision for overstepping their bounds in not using his music in a single E3 trailer, in his opinion. Bungie supports man, but Activision overrules anyways. - Man gets fired for a history of poor and disruptive behavior based on creative differences in response to Activision. Activision threatened continued behavior would jeopardize their contract with Bungie (which Bungie needed to make this game we all love). - Bungie's board fires man for his disruptive behavior and poor workplace performance, echoed by his coworkers. - Bungie does the wrong thing by not giving him his owed vacation time and company shares according to his contract. - Separate arbitrations award him his vacation time money and company shares. What part of this has anything to do with us? I think you're stretching a lot.

    do you not find it at all disgusting? Here, I'm going to hire you: Say, you build me a building, right as you're about to complete it; on payday, I fire you and don't pay you anything. Now lets reiterate and do the same thing 300 times over the course of 16 years.

  • Hat isn't even close to how this happened. This is probably the worst analogy I've ever read.

    No, I don't, because that's not[i] at all[/i] what happened here. Not even in the slightest.

  • Bump. While the situation is not great, it's not about Activision ruining Destiny as much as it is about Marty's inability to work professionally after butting heads with management. I would have fired him too...

  • Did you just willfully ignore this paragraph? [quote][b]While Destiny was planned for a September 2013 release, the story was substantially revised in August 2013. That pushed the release date back to March 2014.[/b] O’Donnell returned to work after a vacation, but the audio team and his supervisor did not consider him to be fully engaged in his work. The release date of the game, meanwhile, pushed back to September 2014. Bungie set in motion a process to terminate O’Donnell.[/quote]

  • How much of that is truth and how much is hear say, from o'donnell. If O'Donnell was a founding member of Bungie as that report says, I don't think the company he founded would create a plan to fire him. He got butt hurt over the fact his music was not used, and he attempted to cock block a lot of what Activision was trying to do with the sound track for Destiny. So activision said if he don't stop it will breach our contract, he didn't stop so they fired him.

  • If you read the article, the whole issue began with preparations for E3 in 2013, which was in June of that year, months ahead of planned release or the revisions. In no part of that quote does it imply 1) the changes to Destiny had anything to do with Marty's situation, 2) that it was Activision's decision or influence, or that 3) it has anything to do with trying to screw us.

  • Yeah the story just substantially changed by space magic! Funny how Joe Staten, the dude who wrote the -blam!-ing story, left Bungie during that exact same period for the same complaints that Marty did...it's all one big conspiracy!!!
