Bungie studio has announced that their studio president Harold Ryan has quit and a new CEO has been appointed in his place. Pete Parsons, the new CEO has issued a statement on the Bungie blog:
“I want to personally thank Harold for his friendship, passion, hard work, and dedication in helping make Bungie the great company it is today. As a team, we celebrated many victories and weathered many storms. To the players of Destiny, I want you to know that my number one priority, and Bungie’s, is and always has been to deliver great games that we can all share together. I believe that Destiny is a one-of-a-kind experience. I also believe you have yet to see our studio’s best work. My new role here at the studio will be entirely focused on fulfilling that promise.“
It’s unclear exactly why Ryan quit, but Destiny has been under fire for a while now. Shady microtransaction pricing, match making issues and overall lack of fresh content has left players unhappy. Hopefully, Mr. Ryan is alright and best of luck.
