“As a former Bungie employee who worked on Marathon, I feel for those still at the studio. Working with engineering / Marathon leadership was extremely toxic and humiliating. I won’t speak about the rest, but Bungie leadership needs to be gutted completely”

#Marathon has an amazing story but its visual style also hooked a lot of people.

Can't imagine what else they "borrowed'.
