We don't know what we don't know, but I do. (Destiny)

While I think everyone now can see it was false, I remember PLENTY of people saying Seropian left on bad terms because Halo was a doomed project.

I don't really remember much of this.

This is odd, but a curiosity is only that until you know more. everything else is bringing your feelings to bear.

I tend to be optimistic about Bungie. I strongly spoke out against the chicken littles raging after Staten left, for instance. I know there have been problems behind the scenes, but there are always problems behind the scenes. A large enterprise like Bungie is going to accrue issues, things get worse before they get better, and then they get better until they get worse again. You tack this way and that, with luck keeping everything going in the right direction. I still think Destiny is going in the right direction.

There a still many talented people at Bungie I admire and respect (great to see Lars stage center this week). CJ's been a public face for a long time, and if I hadn't heard from him in a while and he quietly left, I wouldn't register much concern. Leaving mere weeks after being a guest on the stream in a new leadership position, and what strikes me as a very aggressive passive-aggressive statement (even Bungie's logo is unhappy!)--these things alarm me. I don't know what they mean, but they alarm me.
