And we also know the game's release date was pushed back because Marty refused to finish sound effect work until the game was completely finished.
So let's summarize. Bungie asked Marty to make the series's soundtrack all at once instead of individually. Marty did that, and then got pissy when they wouldn't release it (presumably because he wanted that sweet profit-sharing). And then when Activison/Bungie swapped some trailer music, Marty responded in some disruptive way (of which I've seen no description) that was apparently bad enough to get him suspended, and then when he came back his co-workers claimed he was disruptive and unhelpful, and we also know the game's release date was pushed back because Marty refused to finish sound effect work until the game was completely finished.I'm not a fan of Bungie's new model, but Marty had a really good thing going and he just kind of pissed it away. It really doesn't seem like anyone was out to get him.
Marty holds himself to a high expectation because he knows the music he producing is great.

So he's going to be upset when he creates 10 years worth of music and then it is thrown out the window and replaced by a corporation.

His work will still be present in the entire Destiny series. Nothing was thrown out the window, they probably just swapped the song with something more like pop rock to appeal to new fans.I'm not anti-Marty at all, but I think people are seeing drama where there is very little.
It's a good thing I don't care about either #thuglyfe
If you were Marty and Microsoft decided to throw in their own music instead of the music you created specifically for the trailer which is a very important one, then you would be pissed as hell.
A little off topic, but I'd like to play a game soon that doesn't disappoint me.
Pretty interesting that Joe Staten left a month after Activision got heavily involved in the story side of things. I think this all but confirms the fact that Activision is responsible for the current "story" in Destiny and Joe left the company due to the mutilation of his baby.

Well no, I wouldn't, because they would be writing my paychecks and are ultimately in charge of any content that is put out.
