Marty O’Donnell wins epic legal fight with former bosses (Gaming)

by Monochron, Saturday, September 05, 2015, 17:20 (3366 days ago) @ Funkmon

There's technically another two possibilities. The details the guy said were wrong, but based on some real stuff that happened.

The other one is that he made it up based on the departure times of the cool dudes at Bungie, the changes we saw in a few released footage things, an inference from the small amount of in game story presentation, and lucked out on the timing being approximately correct.

This is what I have been assuming. He could have been off on parts (not being one of the 'higher-ups' himself) and Bungie was able to take advantage of that incorrectness to discredit him. I wouldn't expect anything else from a company in this situation. Though I hope we eventually get clarification like we did with the video put out describing the troubles with H2.
