My criticism of Bungie leadership & hindsight. (Destiny)

The disaster/[crunch]-time-hell that Bungie has gone through is management's fault, not Joe's. They shouldn't have let it get as far as it did before pulling the plug. I can't take the argument that they were kept in the dark because there was content being developed based on the story.

So, yeah. Management probably messed up by letting it get so far before pulling the plug. It's easy to make that call now, but at the time I suspect they were doing what they thought was best for the game.

It sure is easy to look back and criticize isn't it? This much I know, I'd struggle to lead a studio as large as Bungie and not make mistakes or let things slide for too long. It's a hard job and I'm certainly willing to cut Bungie leadership a little slack.
