Please stop. The Bungie devs fetch a premium, the studio is not known to underpay. They are HQd in an extremely high cost area. The entire attitude from Bungie for decades has been “ we know best and we do what we want “. It’s a studio culture. Of course executive comp is too high, it always is. But Upper Management and The Board did not build or make the game that caused this. I’m sorry for the devs that were let go but the content we got was dev made.

They may not have made the game, but they were the ones calling the shots most of the time. Bungie themselves have even admitted that in the past, they were forced to hold back on certain ideas and curb development to meet deadlines and expectations. Was it the devs who enforced that mindset? No. The execs were the ones who just wanted to get content out the door regardless of quality.

The people you’re talking about still aren’t the executive board. Those are department heads and dev team leads. The crap story, the annoying QoL, Drop rates, monetization tactics in game, exotic perks/dead exotics, pathfinder being a monkey paw, balancing, LL scaling, perk pools, raid and dungeon mechanics, team requirements for X, y or Z activities. Everything about the game and the game we play is dev made.
