Marty O'Donnell fired!!???!?

whaaaat? Update: Quote from supposed "Bungie_employee" on Reddit [quote]Okay. So I can't give out too much detail here, but I will let you know what I know. Marty was a contracted employee, he didn't just get a fee for each game he produced. Marty had received a significant raise in the last few years, but was now asking for another. This created tension between him and the board (some of whom already felt he was overpaid). A verbal argument ensued recently between Marty and a member of the board. Shortly there after he was let go. So there was certainly 'cause' but one that a lot of us felt could be worked through. But money talks. The board feels they can get someone for cheaper, and without the drama, that will have a better ROI. So basically it seems that tensions rose to a breaking point, one the board felt they couldn't work past, or didn't want to deal with, so they let Marty go. I'm not saying it was right (I don't think it was), but that is the situation.[/quote]

    Bungie needs to hire and psychologist, and these so called "directors" need to stop seeing everything as black and white and money laced... because given the following bungie has and how every member seems to have such a huge importance on the whole "family, community, friendship" shpeel they sell us in their podcasts and updates.. this could snowball into degenerating the very views and scope us followers, admirers, and gamers of bungie have on the company and their games.. a psychologist would have interpreted this outcome and possibly, if one could gauge, "hype-ness" and or "excitement" about destiny, (I also have to add that for people that dont even know who Marty is, this can affect them because people will more likely follow this online herd behavior) then it has obviously been shot down a degree or 3.. I honestly dont know if it was justifiable or not, but if somehow the "Directors" and all their brains and flashy money could see this, I would just like to say to them. Good job at trying to ruin something many people are or "were" looking forward to.. the community drives the community in almost all aspects.. you guys have nothing but paperwork to handle and are of (to us) no importance... we view the people in bungie that we have gotten to know over the years as important, their work, as important.. not you.. so next time you decide to make a fatal mistake, maybe think it through (from all angles) and possibly try to resolve it a better way.
