That's a huge surprise. I remember meeting Joe at a Halo fanfest or two back in the early 2000s. He's a great guy, and he obviously played an important role in Halo-era Bungie. I wish him all the best.
I suppose they wouldn't announce his departure in advance but it just seems so abrupt after seeing him become a sort of spokesperson for Destiny this past year with the GDC presentation and E3 gameplay demo. I can't help but wonder if there was some kind of drama behind the decision.
