I didn't know he came up through Test (Destiny)

This bothers me more than it probably should. As a former tester, I've always assumed Bungie's current overlords simply didn't respect the test team enough to listen to their complaints, but if Ryan came up through Test, that seems unlikely. I wonder if their entire corporate structure simply isn't designed to foster constant communication. That would explain the general complaints about Bungie's communication to the outside world: If the corporate culture is to compartmentalize and not to share, then the people who do any sharing at all probably feel like they're amazing share-gods by comparison.

That would explain things, but it's the exact opposite of the Bungie we saw in the Halo days. I remember their vidocs talking about knocking out walls in a studio they moved to, and putting the desks on wheels or something because people were constantly shuffling around to work on different things. That doesn't sound like a company with bad communication.

Then again, that was like a decade ago, so maybe their culture has shifted more than I'd want to believe.
