That's Joe on the left |
Sometimes there’s a guy so cool that you just don’t want to
meet just in case he isn’t actually cool. I think Bungie’s Joe Staten might be
one of those guys. Not that he isn’t actually that cool, it’s that he’s that
cool. Cool? Anyways, Joe is leaving Bungie. Cue the boos and hisses!
Rumour has it
he got fired for making Destiny too awesome. Or something. He’s actually leaving with a nice note from Bungie on their homepage.
Here’s State’s leaving note:
Dear community friends,
After fifteen great years at Bungie, from the battlefields
of Myth to the mysteries of Halo and beyond, I'm leaving to tackle new creative
challenges. While this may come as a surprise, fear not. It's been my pleasure
building Destiny these past four years, and after the big reveal this Summer,
our hugely talented team is on track for greatness. I'll be cheering all of
them, with all of you, when the game launches next year. Thank you for your
support of me, and your continued support of Bungie. We couldn't have done it
without you.
Per Audacia Ad Astra!
Joseph Staten
What’s next on the horizon for Joe? Time will tell….
Update: Staten came full circle and is currently on duty at 343 Industries trying to get Halo Infinity over the line.
