[quote]The arbitrator ruled that O’Donnell’s rights as a shareholder should be restored. Bungie lawyers objected that if O’Donnell’s shares were restored, he would be a “bothersome presence at board meetings and in the company,” according to the arbitrator. But the arbitrator overruled them and restored O’Donnell’s rights.[/quote]

Maybe one day we will get the real story from the horses mouth. Any dynamic is possible in this situation. At first I first immediately felt sympathy for the guy, but then the next thought had to be... Well, what might have been in his part in all of this? Either way he created many great musical pieces to go along with our gaming experience through the years and that's hard to over look!
-
This shouldn't be in the "destiny" forum... Why do people consistently make threads wherever the hell they want?
-
Marty May have made some amazing music, but I'm guessing Bungie gave him the axe because of something problematic that they are unwilling to share out of some form of respect. That's my guess, but we really know nothing. Keep in mind, some amazing artists are really terrible people. Orson Scott Card is a pretty good example.

Edited by djtanng: 8/19/2014 11:19:37 PMAfter reading everything in the link, if makes me feel like he sort-of got his job back, but not all the way. Can someone explain to me why I'm right or wrong on this? Does getting his shares back mean that he can go to board meetings and and if he wanted to, nag Bungie to death until they give him his job back, if he felt like doing such a thing?
-
Give the man his job back, along with a written apology and a raise. After everything he's done for Halo and for Destiny, he deserves better.
-
Good for him! Finally some justice
-
Ever time I saw the word arbitrator, I kept reading it as arbiter.
-
Good, he deserves at the very least this.
-
Good for him, still can't believe bungie gave him the axe. Christ at this point I think 343i has more bungie employees than bungie.

That's the way the ball bounces sometimes unfortunately. I'd personally just let the chips fall down where they will and focus on something else.
-
Good for Marty, Bungie deserves what they get for being greedy.
-
Honestly, what were they thinking? im not fully on marty's side since were all in the dark but something must got arbitrator to rule in martys favor. *shrugs* just weird man weird
-
I thought this was odd. I new he got let go but I didn't think they could take someone's stalks away just because. Seems fishy.
-
Companies can buy their stock back if they pay market price
-
Sounds like some folks at Bungie were sick and tired of Marty and fired him on a whim. They probably should have given it more thought. Marty deserves all his unpaid wages and most of his stock, however, I'm sure there is probably an understandable reason (at least in some perspective) why he was fired.
-
This shit is crazy.
-
Until we somehow find out why Marty was fired in the first place, I will still have lost some of the respect I had for Bungie....
-
Good. It seems like Bungie is in the wrong here. I've been a fan for years, but I don't agree with the firing of Marty and I'm glad he's getting what he deserves. Hodor.

I'm glad that bungie got their butt pounding that they deserved on this one. I hope that marty attends every single board meeting from now until Bungie's end as a company. I want him to voice his opinion loudly also.
-
I'm glad they fired him, they literally aren't worthy of his talent. Now maybe he'll go back to composing for halo games. On a side note, FU CK bungie for being such dicks.
