Wtf bungie!!!!! They were family!!!!! Do you have any idea what this means for us??!!!!!???!??!?!???? YOU FUKED US!!! I’m in shock over what Activision has done here. I mean what the fuk??? They are nothing more than a common school yard bully...but with much higher stakes. But none the less, a pathetic, greedy, jealous, petty ass bully. Whelp, mystery solved. Activision ruined destiny and Bungle was complicit. You jack ass fools...what comes around, WHAT COMES AROUND....know that you’ve got a big bag of rank shit headed ur way. Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble...puke puke puke....gobble gobble gobble gobble Enjoy that shit!!!!!!!

What has happened to you, Bungie?

1 ReplyThe fact that Bungie had him compose all of the music at once rather than as each Destiny game came out should've already been a bit fishy to Marty.

So... They pushed him too hard, he pointed out it was nonsense to do it their way, they punished him for that in a ridiculous, childish way, he went a little OTT and acted badly, they went even more OTT and violated court ordered actions that were legally binging, probably costing them orders of magnitude more money than if they'd just accepted his way was better in the first place. Why write the score for an entire ten year series all at once? That's just idiotic. I agree with Marty on that. How's he supposed to know the themes and nuances of something released ten years from now?

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.”[/b] [b]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, the [b]story was substantially revised in August 2013.[/b] [/quote] Traveler was originally evil confirmed. All of the above was done by someone else. I'm way too lazy to do all that.

1 ReplyThis makes me sick that bungie could do this to someone. Who was with them at the beginning! After he wrote all the music?! Thank goodness the judicial system didn't let him down.
-
They cut the original story than rewrote it in a rush. Yeah I'd leave if that happened.
-
Good for O'don. Bungie really deserves to get screwed somewhere for their horrible game design schemes. Good to see they treat eachother like they treat their customers. You can see their greed by the way they locked him out of his founders share of Bungie. Just like they lock us out of night falls if we don't buy DLC.

2 RepliesMentions nothing of Joseph but it's a good read. It seems like mid/late 2013 Bungie would be great movie material. Perhaps later down the road we'll hear more about what happened from E3 2013 to September of 2014.
-
9 RepliesWow, just wow! Anyone else notice that the common thread of Bungie's concerns is he wasn't being a blind positivity yes man?
-
80 RepliesAgain I ask the question I put in a similar thread. How is this feedback and how will it improve my future experience in Destiny?

1 ReplyMicrosoft, so far as I'm aware pretty much left Bungie to it. And wisely so, as easily as I can recall the campaign layouts I can remember the music. I don't even own destiny and a part of that is the original E3 trailer. I've only just learned the music wasn't marty's. Two sides just getting sour about each other. I sympathise more with Marty though. Getting kicked out of an organisation that is extremely successful, that he helped gain that success. The reason, for making decisions like the ones that made it so successful.

Activisiok fücking [i]deprived[/i] Destiny of its content in an attempt to make it last and milk it for money. Then they start fücking about with the [u]one[/u] good thing in the game, and fück their employees while they're at it.
-
Don't care. Will still play Destiny until I get bored of it. Not because they fire whatever employee. This has Zero impact on how I play the game.

10 Replies[quote]halo, one of the most successful games of all time, and Destiny [/quote]

2 RepliesI hate to be that guy, but there is absolutely no mention of Staten in that article so.... you are hereby accused of title bait.

2 RepliesWheres the part about Joseph Staten?

Activist and EA have parasitic relationships with their "coworkers"

24 RepliesEdited by XxGunknightxX: 9/6/2015 1:50:51 AMI think this belongs in #offtopic. What does a dispute over music have to do with:- with:- well, anything? Was it a mishandled situation? Well obviously. It's also quite obvious that BOTH parties mishandled it. Tables turned: Bungie won the lawsuit and went online to boast about it. We'd all be saying 'YEAH! FK THAT O'DONNEL GUY!' History is written by the victor, keep that in mind. [spoiler]Guardian tears collected: 200 Time to turn in my bounty![/spoiler]
