I'll copy my post from the other thread about this: Interesting snippet from an article on Yahoo. TL;DR: Activision is poison, and Bungie is obviously lead by a bunch of morons and scumbags since 1) they chose to partner with them in the first place and 2) tried to steal Marty's stock options after termination. Edit: Don't forget about Joe Staten (creator of Destiny's story) leaving Bungie in September 2013. This article confirms that the story changed substantially in August 2013, which pretty much confirms that Staten left because Activision screwed up Destiny entirely. Looks like Joe and Marty both left because they were fed up with Activision. Edit #2: Anyone remember 404Architect from a year ago? Remember how many people didn't believe him, and yet everything he posted has pretty much been legitimized? Remember DeeJ trying to discredit him? Lawd, this company has no shame. Link to reddit thread from almost a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2hrpzx/ama_request_someone_from_bungie_or_activision_who/ckvowy2 [quote][b]O’Donnell reacted angrily and believed Activision had overstepped its proper role by assuming artistic control of the trailer music. Ryan, the CEO of Bungie, and management shared his concern and filed a “veto” letter with Activision, which overruled the objection.[/b] During E3, O’Donnell tweeted that Activision, not Bungie, had composed the trailer music. He also threatened Bungie employees in an attempt to keep the trailer from being posted online, and interrupted press briefings. The court filings say that O’Donnell believed he was preserving Bungie’s “creative process, artistic integrity, and reputation, keeping faith with fans, and [b]protecting Bungie and its intellectual property from Activision’s encroachment into artistic decisions.” According to O’Donnell’s view, the “Band of Brothers” ethos that had inspired the group’s earlier work was being damaged by the Activision relationship.[/b][/quote] [quote]While Destiny was planned for a September 2013 release, [b]the story was substantially revised in August 2013[/b].[/quote] Traveler was originally evil confirmed.
