Not defending Bungie in the least, lol More trying to explain to the kids who keep feeling the need to come into our threads to call us "whiners" for saying bad things about Destiny. Edit: Also, there really wasn't a "Halo side" of Bungie. The entire company was all about it up until their break from Microsoft and all control of the series was turned over to 343 Industries which was a new studio established by Microsoft for the specific purpose of overseeing the franchise. Following whatever shit that went down with Activision prior to the launch of Destiny, the lead writer Joseph Staten who was greatly involved and responsible for the creation of Destiny's world/universe and story abruptly quit the company and joined up with 343 to continue working on projects with them instead. To my knowledge, he is the only person from Bungie that is at 343.
