Martin O'Donnell, Why the Great Composer was Forced from Bungie

A friend shared this video with me it is defiantly worth a watch. Let me preface this by saying I love Destiny. Despite the let down I felt like so many other players, I still love this game. This however, does not change the fact that something went wrong with this game, and it started with Activision. When the lead story writer left, we all should have known something was wrong. One does not simply, quit a project you have spent years on for no reason. Activision came in, and disrupted the art of the game. They reformatted Destiny in order to make the most money, destroying the artistic work that had gone into the game. These used to be a theory, but this court case brings enough circumstantial evidence to the table that Activision played a significant role in the falter of this game. This doesn't end at Activision though. Bungie fired the composer of some of their greatest achievements, under shady circumstances and got caught. The video explains this much better that I can, so if you have 15 minutes, it really does explain a lot. We can't let instances like this be swept under the rug if we want to see this game grow and prosper. They must be revealed and discussed, because without a significant reaction from the public, this will happen again. Edit: I personally think BDobbins is slightly overzealous at times, but arguing about his content won't contribute to the physical case itself. On a personal note, I like the ideas he presents. Yes, I missed the hype, but I think it is important to bring these issues to light every once in a while so we don't as a community grow complacent. When I get home I will post the physical documents. If anyone has useful evidence, post a link and I will put it here. We are trending, thank you so much. Edit 2: My computer isn't working. May be a bit before I get links up. I should clear up. The issue is not Martin being fired, it is him being fired, then Bungie attempting to take away his pay and portion of the cut for the music he had already made. It is bigger than just this one case though. This is about the entire Activision/Bungie relationship that diminished the quality of this game. Lastly, I love this game, I enjoy playing it. Loving this game and calling out the bs and the flaws are not mutually exclusive. Edit 3: The video was simply to supplement the post, not the other way around. I brought it up simply because I feel his videos are good at starting conversation on these topics. Edit 4: If you want to make your opinion heard, try to use logical arguments. Saying "Fan boy" or "hater" succeeds at nothing. The goal is to start productive conversation, not tear each other down. Edit 5: I am trying to answer as many comments as I can, my computer is broken so I am limited in ability here. Thank you so much for the support and discussion this thread has brought. I am glad to see that this thread hasn't seen Ninja Justice or died. TL;DR. - Bungie and Activision have a concerning habit of shady business practice that is hurting our gaming experience. Have a good day and a great life.
