It's crazy how Bungie laid off Mike Salvatori, who's been with them for over 25 years. This industry is blind. They don't care about retaining top talent and think they're expendable. It's disgusting.
I'm going to reveal something all journalists and fans should know...
It's…
Today is a sad day at Bungie as we say goodbye to colleagues who have all made a significant impact on our studio. What these exceptional individuals have contributed to our games and Bungie culture has been enormous and will continue to be a part of Bungie long into the future.

How does bungie want Pete Parsons out but he stays at MS secretly and yet Bungie leaves and somehow, they end up with Pete as their CEO??
Please make it make sense!!
@HaileyEira
Been trying to tell people for years that this isn’t the same Bungie from the halo years. People still say give halo back to Bungie lol. Get informed and realize destiny’s multiplayer is terrible and they haven’t added maps for years.
@HaileyEira
Bungie's leadership decisions are absurd. Feels great to know this, I'm eager to know more about why the original crew left. Marty's critics often use him being fired by Bungie as proof that he's bad, but now we know Bungie wanted to fire the others too, insane.
@HaileyEira
Bungie has been dead since they lost the Halo ip. They no longer have the creative vision for any other title and probably should have kept making Halo games
@HaileyEira
And didn’t the ceo of bungie force the team to split for reach and odst? They had 2 games left on contract and instead of them working together on both half worked on odst and the other on reach for most til the odst guys came in halfway through to finish reach with em.
@HaileyEira
I can only imagine how it would feel to be thrown out of a place after committing 25+ years of quality effort to them…
So disheartening, and that’s a gargantuan loss for Bungie too. Executives need to get the greed out of their glasses and quit making short-sighted decisions.
@HaileyEira
So I assume MS plan was
1 Push out grizzled Bungie vets who knew better than trust MS
2 Promote inexperienced pawns who don't know better under the condition of giving MS more control
3 Continue Halo via MS control
But Bungie left MS so they form 343 & get what they want anyway
@HaileyEira
This is wild, all this time people thought those guys had left Bungie due to personal reasons.
The fact that someone as important as Ed Fries resigned/got fired is a clear sign of the kind of bad things that were going on at MS too. Why do execs never treat people fairly?
@HaileyEira
Professional decision makers forcing out talent and the core members who were motivated to make great games.. now studios are left with corporate shills who want to make a quick buck at the expensive of those who believed in their projects only to be cast aside by those in suits.
@HaileyEira
'Someone at 343 Industries had also been bad-mouthing the Bungie team and saying they’re difficult to work with. I’ll let you figure out who that person was.'
is it the bald head man
