Hiring Joe Ziegler will go down as the decision that killed Bungie
Yeah yeah, I know things with Destiny 2 had already been shitty for years. And obviously Bungo couldn't keep a known sex pest as their game director for Marathon. But everything that is terrible about Marathon came from him, and now it seems really likely Bungie will be sold for parts after Marathon is shut down.
So all I can say is, hiring him as the new game director is probably what killed Marathon. And if Marathon's failure results in the demise of Bungie, it will end up being the single worst decision the company had ever made.
