I hope Bungie and Sony have to pay him. Bungie has become a shell of what they once were, and Sony is a blight on gaming parading around their corpse.

MODERATORS
He was dismissed for "gross misconduct" following an investigation into his involvement in sexual harassment. One of the articles has the guy's lawyer saying it was a sham investigation because he was not involved in it (as in, was not questioned). Which, if this were a court of law, where a defendant has the right to confront their accusers, then sure, he's got a point.
But it wasn't that, and clearly Sony/Bungie felt that he was a greater liability than an asset. That leads me to believe that they DID find evidence of wrongdoing on his part, convincing enough that questioning him was unnecessary, and severe enough that they felt they could terminate him for cause. In taking those steps, I'm certain they cleared it with legal to ensure that their case was as airtight as they could make it, especially if there was a 45 million dollar payment at stake.
So, maybe he's being truthful, and he was a convenient fall guy for Bungie to throw to the wolves during the height of the scrutiny on them. However, until there's more convincing evidence available than, "well they didn't ask ME if I harassed my colleagues", I'm not buying it. Discovery will be interesting.
ESH.
For a clear-cut case of the publisher being scum, Mindscape fired the entire Lego Island team immediately before the game launched, to avoid paying royalties to any of them. Which should fucking obviously be illegal. They did the work - the game made money - pay them their cut, you rat bastards.
Idk, seems he's salty about losing so much money because he acted creepy and unprofessional towards women. Could go either way, curious how this plays out.
If that's true it's fucked up...
