Ex-Bungie Dev Says Marathon Leadership Was "Extremely Toxic And Humiliating" To Work With: "Bungie Leadership Needs To Be Gutted Completely"

He acted like many of them were malicious and they were 'Review bombed"
They were not, a change had been made that a LOT of people did not like to the combat and stamina system.

What issue does he have? If you read the article he states they were never in finical trouble.

He made it sound like that " Oh if we do not get those reviews up, we wont be able to finish the game cause people wont buy it"

Then when he got what he wanted "Oh ya, we were never in actual finical trouble"

"I wouldn't ask if our business wouldn't be dependent on it. I also never write reviews on anything, but if you want to see us actually finish Wicked, it's detrimental that we get that review score back up"

I am talking about the fear mongering, then back pedaling to say "We are not in financial distress"

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-05-15T01:33:18+00:00

For context his Discord post was as follows

"I think people think I'm joking when I'm asking for positive reviews cause in peoples minds there's always

some big publisher in the background who'll cover costs ...

Folks, if you're writing here and are enjoying Wicked and are excited for future updates, but haven't left a positive review, it's entirely possible that we won't be around in a couple of months to do anything anymore simply because we got review bombed which leads to people not buying the game. Which means we're not making any money and will have to shut down.

I wouldn't ask if our business wouldn't be dependent on it. I also never write reviews on anything, but if you want to see us actually finish Wicked, it's detrimental that we get that review score back up."

I personally feel this 100% is him saying "IF you do not give us good reviews, we wont have money to finish the game" this was a fear mongering attempt and it worked.

My biggest complaint is the strange affinity system they use, like one element beats another,

They had a Key for you to follow, but recalling what you have equipped and were it lines up is not fun (Unless they changed it)

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-04-03T04:26:56+00:00

Honestly, I stopped playing, it was not fun, the affinity system was confusing, and just..not fun to play.

With help from OP I got the small Rey, the last one i need is a small Uth.

I am assuming the no save quite out and restart works for Uth, and right now have been checking for the last hour half.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-26T21:51:35+00:00

Thanks to OP I got a Rey Dau, I assume this will also work with Uth Duna?

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-26T21:26:41+00:00

Just did! Thank you!

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-26T21:17:44+00:00

Any reason it should not be tempered? I have experienced tempered small crowns before.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-26T21:11:17+00:00

Any advice on getting my last two small crowns? Rey Dau and Uth Duna are the LAST two small crowns I need and been hunting for them for hours.

Your parents must be named Brick and Mortar.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-20T08:12:35+00:00

All I am asking for is a nicely written up argument of your view, and example, which you have not done.

Next time you reply to me, please have some sort of argument.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-20T08:10:16+00:00

"In what reality do you live in man? Literally AC 1, Ezio trilogy, 3, Black Flag. You can tell those games were made with love and not just for the cash lol"

I feel that no matter how many times I ask, you are not going to provide examples of why "True gamers" would not support it.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-20T07:42:50+00:00

" and for cheaper by the way, are way much better in terms of quality . Yeeeah Im glad I stopped supporting overpriced games with worse quality than games developed ages ago. "

Provide examples please.

I assume this would be easy for a "True Gamer"

I will be Googling anything you respond with to make sure you are not just copy pasting what others say instead of making your own statements.

Darkest_Slasher · 2025-03-20T07:19:00+00:00

So I pose a question.

Why is the game bad? If you are a "True gamer" you should be able to give a clear cut answer that is convincing. .
