Lots of mixed sentiment from past employees, and even though he did acknowledge it with a joke, the "overdelivery" thing is such a red flag to carry. I quit the game this past fall after literally 12k hours on steam. Huge number of growing reasons, but the top reason has always been the way bungie c-suite treats their devs and their players. One of the most toxic in the industry by a mile. permalink fedilink source parent
