Joseph Staten Returning To Microsoft. Thoughts?
Joseph Staten takes on a new role as Microsoft Studios Senior Creative Director, after leaving Bungie as Lead Writer for Destiny. Here's the statement in full:
[i]“As a senior creative director, Joseph will help create the world’s best entertainment on Xbox, as well as help shape our franchise strategy for some Microsoft Studios titles. He’ll also be one of our leading ambassadors to the game development community, building on his many years of experience and relationships with developers and fans. We’re excited to share more about Joseph’s role in the future.”[/i]
As you can see not much information given, but considering how much of an influence he was when working with Bungie, i considered this news-worthy. We wish him all the best for the future.
Personally i rather enjoyed his book Halo: Contact Harvest back in the day.

7 답변I will never understand how someone can leave Bungie to work for Microsoft. WTF? In the case of the handful of people who left Bungie to work at 343 I can understand it somehow as they propably wanted to continue working on Halo. But..but... why Microsoft?

3 답변작성자: Commander Tempu 1/10/2014 10:19:57 PM343i will need more than Joe to help. Joe is a great writer and this move might have been due to the changes or factors we do not know about yet can only speculate on. From what i see Joe might have seen what i see now with the Timed Exclusives in Destiny not to mention the way the Xbox community is being treated these days. Also it might be he is getting better paid or even having an opportunity to move on as he might be doing Halo or other Microsoft projects with great freedom. Anyone who thinks Sony is any different is fooling themselves. Also some conflict issues with Sony or Bungies affiliation with Activision (Not the consumer the company) We will never know the true reasons why things happened like they did as Bungie has not even addressed why Xbox is being ignored as are the fans. I dislike guessing and will not poke my nose into Joes affairs. I wish him well and hope he has allot of success.

1 답변I can't say I'm surprised. This is very good news for Microsoft / XboxOne. I expect that he'll be working on some big stuff (e.g. the Halo TV project with Steven Spielbrg for one).
