Honesty....it could go either way right now. If the new CEO truly has a vision for the product and decides this is the direction and gets everyone on board, we may see some improvements (but it will likely be slow moving for now because of the limitations of the Tiger engine). If he is a bean counter who is only interested in serving Activision, we may see even more focus on microtransactions and small scale events as a revenue generating stream.
It really depends on how much money Bungie has been bleeding on maintenance over their forecasted cash flows and their baseline operating budgets. Also depends on whether Activision investor confidence has been lower lately. I believe it's under-performing based on original projections (and given the clauses for bonuses tied into performance that Bungie lost) and though profitable, Activsion definitely could see Bungie as a risk now. If that's the case we may see some rapid small tweaks or "wins" to improve the player experience.
As for to date, I can totally understand wanting a new CEO. They haven't made any of their bonuses, the sale chart retention shows a very low retention rate and with TTK only sitting at #27 on the top selling list of last year, and if there is any truth to that "employee leak" and that the microtransactions aren't selling as well as they hoped, they had more than enough reasons to want to change the guard. It does sound like they have serious internal communication issues as well which shows weak leadership.
Most engineers and techies don't make good managers or leaders!!! They are too involved in the details while no one watches the larger picture.
