Agreed. Mostly. Except for the part about pettiness. Threats of breach of contract coming from your publisher are a big deal. Did Bungie do everything right after that? Almost certainly not. But the whole Paul McCartney / Music of the Spheres thing always felt a little like Marty trying to drag Activision and Bungie into doing things they would never do. It felt very out of place for companies making a new game. And in doing so things ended up bad for everyone involved. :(
