After listening to the Destiny soundtrack, I find it daunting how the board would just make this decision. Hell, when the flying fuck did Bungie even get board of directors? When did this happen? We didn't even know they had board of directors until Marty was fired!

If Jason Jones still has power at Bungie... he should get rid of them. Otherwise, one day Jason gets fired and Bungie becomes the next Oscorp.

YouTube


That's the only video I could find in regards to having that entire scene.

Anyway, what do you think?

I neither fear, nor despise.
I'm assuming the board of directors didn't consist of people like Joe Staten. People that loved what they did, and enjoyed interacting with the fan base.

I say get rid of the board of directors, since they are focused on running a profitable business over running a video game company that loves what it does.

Again, if Jason Jones has any power, he should do that. But if that was in Activision's contract that they get board of directors as part of the package.... Bungie is fucked.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

I get the feeling that it probably was part of the package.

This is what happens when you don't read contracts Bungie. You get fucked.

Someday, somewhere
Just because Jason Jones is head of the company doesn't mean he can fire all of them. The board has power too, they could fire Jason if they feel like it.

I expected Bungie to be so famous, respected, wealthy, and dependable that they could make the game they want, WITHOUT publishers asking to take over.

They didn't fail in the past, how could a publisher not say "we'll get you the money, you guys know what your doing "?

Which is what I said in the OP. If the board ever decides to fire Jason, Bungie is dead.

I don't know. In fact, why is it that they need another publisher? Look at Valve. They're so large that they self-publish their games!

Valve dedicated themselves to PC for a reason.

Pretty sure if Bungie went the same route, they would have not only been a competitor to Valve, but still have their game on consoles.

Notice how Destiny isn't even on the PC and who knows if it ever will be.

Because Microsoft actually allowed them to do their own shit (aside from deadlines).

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
What if JJ is the board of directors?

Microsoft: "Hurry up. Rush rush rush! We need more Halo shit!"

Bungie: "FUCK! I can't keep working like this anymore Microsoft. After Halo 3 the deal is off!"

Microsoft: "Oh no. We got you by the balls Bungie. Says here that you are still under contract, with 2 more Halo games. Better get back to work. We got deadlines to meet and customers to serve our products to!"

Bungie: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

That's the thing. They were rushed. Deadlines are the worst. Rushing a developer means that the game will suffer in someway.

That's beheading means. Anyway, I don't think Jones can do anything at this point with Activision breathing down Bungie's neck.

That's unfortunate. If only someone can find the actual contract they signed and rip it up.

Deci: "I hate Microsoft for no reason! I do not know what I am talking about, but I am a PC elitist, fuck Microsoft!"

Spoiler
♥

I don't know what reality you're from, but I have a reason for hating Microsoft. I don't hate something for no reason whatsoever.

Also, this PC elitist here still plays his 360 and uses a controller to play Halo 2 on the PC.
