Yep. People see it as proof of Bungie's corruption. I see it more as Bungie didn't know how to handle the situation and was afraid of the consequences this would spell for Destiny. They go to Activision. Instead of giving advice, they go for the easy out. Fire him. Bungie didn't want to lose one of the co-founders, so try to set him back on course. Marty sees this as disciplinary action even though he feels he was in the right. Doesn't feel that his participation is worth it. Puts less effort in. Bungie sees no good outcome for this and do the thing they don't want to. Fire Marty. I think the shares thing was more Activision's work. Try to resell for more. Marty's to blame for his actions, but we saw something a little similar a bit back. With the Luke Smith interview. Both were passionate about their projects, but Marty probably saw his contribution was getting cut out/up and just blew up. As for the massive revision, it could have been a result of the threats. Going public with details of the game. But who knows?
