Yep. Activision has proven once again that it is a cancer on the industry that needs to be forcibly removed. Sadly there are too many people who will just purchase CoD and all the dlc every year for that to happen (not to mention the fact that they tragically own Blizzard Entertainment). This wouldn't have happened if they'd gone with EA instead. Worst case scenario they may have tried to force Bungie to work in microtransactions on some level, but I'd rather have dealt with that then this - what Activision tried to do was akin to the producer telling the director they're wrong and imposing their own will. Imagine if Universal (or whomever really) went up to Steven Spielberg, told him to his face that he was "wrong" and that they were now going to do the film a different way? That's essentially what happened here with Marty and he was right to lose his blam! over it. Yes it's a business and people are in it to make money, but when you sell out your creative integrity for said profits you don't belong in what is at heart, an artistic endeavor. And that's *all* Bungievision seems to give a damn about now, is profit. Wasn't Staten creative director previously? I know he wrote the story, but I could have sworn Luke Smith took over for him after he left - imagine how different things would be. That old E3 demo had so much promise behind it...
