Former Bungie executive Martin O'Donnell, known for composing the soundtracks of all the studio's games from Myth to the first Destiny, openly discussed the deal made with Activision for Destiny in an interview published yesterday on HiddenXperia's YouTube channel.

O'Donnell, whose long history with Bungie ended rather abruptly in 2014 (he was fired without cause and later successfully sued the company for unpaid wages), didn't mince words and explained that the deal with Activision was fishy from the get-go. However, Bungie executives (O'Donnell included) wanted to retain ownership of the IP and Activision was the only publisher who'd let them do that; if not for this, they might have actually gone back to Microsoft, O'Donnell said.
