Bungie have had a godawful week but full credit to them in the last few days for taking steps:
- switching off SBMM for IB as a precursor to the wider Crucible
- sacking the CEO
Bungie having poor communication and the lack of a clear Year 2 plan are things a CEO should be held accountable for. Dismissal was the right move.
Things won't change overnight but this shows us that Activision isn't happy with the state of the game and wants changes made. A new CEO will want to make an impression and will 100% be mandated with getting the community into a happier place. Fingers crossed

Why do we even care who the CEO is??? We are complaining about game but they instead to do something with the game they give us another bait topic to discuss. To me it seems that they try to focus us on something else so we wouldnt pay attention to game problems! Have a good day;)

[quote]Why do we even care who the CEO is??? [/quote] Because the CEO is the one who has to come up with and approve plans to milk our wallets. That is why we care.

This.

I do believe and always have that problems that run as deep as Bungies come from the top down. Hope they start the long path to recovery.
-
I hope so. So much hope by the community for what Destiny could have been but TTK was a setback by closing off so much if the game and making all our work and time pointless by eliminating our gear and weapons (something they said would not happen again after the community got pissed last year).

I agree completely and suspected that heads would roll when a property as valuable and popular as Destiny languishes and wains in the height of its success. Someone screwed up big time.

First intelligent reply I've seen on the subject.

I don't think Activision has a say in the matter. The board of directors represent the share holders of the company (investors). If they are changing out the chief executive you can be sure that the share holders are not happy with the financial results that the game has brought in. Let's face it, we all love this game but we all know that it turned out to be a huge let down as well. We know it could be way better than what it is. That's what keeps people coming back and spending money. It's always comes down to earnings. It is a business after all and bungie is a publicly traded company that has a legal obligation to its share holders to maximize profits. Obviously, many of the rumors about Bungies financial problems lately may very well be true.

This is the post I have been searching for. Most average gamers are oblivious to (and its wrongn to be so) the infrastructure of huge projects. "Unfortunately," Destiny is a part of a very large "project" and financial megahouse with insane investments. Their number 1 priority is making money and sadly, has much less control than let's say, Blizzard and Activision who has much more autonomy. I am mostly worried that Bungie has little control over focusing on player satisfaction and good game design over meeting financial quotas. Perhaps Bungie doesnhave the drive, but lack the experience: In that.. They have never made a game like "this" before (heavy mmo influence and rog mechanics in a shared world) Little experience in juggling the stress of financial quota and good game design

lmao, i know who shares many many stocks holding rn, the original founders of Bungie one of them Marty O'Donnel!
-
Yeah Marty, won a law suit against Bungie and part of it was because they tried to cut him out of his stock among other monies belonging to rights that he held One can only assume it was because of the rift between him and Ryan. It solidifies the idea that the decision to fire Marty, and rework the game at the last minute was a bad one.
