At Bungee, there is apparently for more than 10 years of serious problems with the culture in the workplace, which comes from a report from IGN. During the work An destiny 1, the story team should have been led by a boss that leaned and apparently suffered from burnout. Once he threw a chair out of the window. At Destiny 2 it was not better.
Where do The information? The IGN page has spoken with 26 current or earlier employees and employees at Bungee. 25 want to stay anonymous, but an author of the team, Cookie Livonia, can be quoted namely.
It has appeared a multi-sided insider report, which offers many insights into the work processes of Bungee and repeatedly indicates deep-seated, frightening problems in the story team.
Laughter when I buggies answer to Activision Blizzard Las
Why is the report right now ? Bungee has publicly expressed in September to the Sexism Scandal for Activision Blizzard and announced its own measures to create a secure workplace. Bungee was praised as transparent.
But apparently some employees or ex-employed had the feeling that would be too little, too late and were ready to talk about the problems of the team.
An ex employee is quoted with:
When I Las Bungee's Answer on Activision Blizzard, I had to laugh. This is not my experience I did there. They have a core value that says they do not tolerate asses, even if they are rock stars, but that's exactly what they do. [...] You have values you want to achieve, but you do not put them around at all.
Anonymous source of IGN
Therefore, the insider report is so special: Normally there is not such a thing in Bungee. While other employees like to contact the media with their problems, for example with Activision Blizzard or at EA, Bungee does almost nothing outward.
Bungee is chronic dense, except a few insights we got in the emergence of Destiny 1 in 2015 and a few anecdotes of Luke Smith from 2019 there are never such reports from the interior of bungee never.
In 2016, Bungee is exploding half the company and the boss and Big employees have left the studio — and we do not know what exactly happened.
Burnout led to mutant cases at the Story boss
What was going on at Destiny 1? An important part of the insider report focuses on the Narrative team of Destiny 1. It says:
At Destiny 1 there was a Narrative Lead, who absolutely wanted to implement his vision from the game, but it was totally overwhelmed and suffered from Burnout. He was so regularly freaked out and ruled that one has already counted on a whiteboard how long the last explosion was.
At one point he had thrown a chair by a window because he had the impression, others would ruin his creative vision of the game
The man remained in the studio, then went, but came back to Destiny 2 to make contract work. In the function, he listed more often than he was still responsible for the story and regularly crossed authors of Destiny 2 — once it was so bad that an employee was crying and then refused to talk to him alone.
Male rock stars oppressed women and minorities
It went on again : The other bosses in the story team were difficult. The speech is of Egomaniac Rock stars, which regularly tortured their teams. Especially women should have suffered under the toxic work culture:
Therefore, people are constantly excreted by the story team and had changed. The team was obviously constantly overwhelmed and did not get the employees you requested. So you wanted to take free staff full-time, but the studio refused requests. Contracts were not again, but they let them leak. This led to monthly periods in which the department remained understaffed. The male chef authors also had female figures in Destiny on desirable, sexist manner. They were here in the Clinch with the other authors, especially with authors. It says: Men in the team would have drawn characters at a terrifying, unrecognizable manner, while women were forced to watch them.
Two male bosses of the story team are described as authoritarian, cruel boss and as a sexist nightmare, the authors partly treated as if they were discontinued as secretary. If women complain about the treatment, it was said that they would have to get a thicker coat. The bosses have done employees from gathered team and then said that you meant that funny. Complaints to the staff department led to nothing. It is said that there were people whose job insisted on clearing such complaints. The staff had the feeling that Bungee protects the Rock stars of the company, even if they are completely adding. People in the lead level of bungee had code name for the women of the studio that they found attractive. The code names would have played on the physical appearance or hair color of women. Some were simply degrading. These code names were used without the women knew therefrom.
Stress between Story Department and the Cinematic
What problems existed with the cooperation?
It has always come to problems with the lead level, especially with previous Story officers who rose, but were dissatisfied with the current story. The problem was obvious that the bosses had a vague idea how the vision should be of Destiny 1. But that was just vague, diffusely and was nowhere. The authors of Destiny 2 were repeatedly criticized to not fulfill this vision.
Another big problem was the collaboration of the Story Department with the Cinematic department, which enjoyed a higher reputation within Bungee.
It is said, again and again, the Cinematic Department had made its own thing, did not agree with the story department and made decisions that then had the story that the story had to be completely rewritten.
Authors had learned from some changes to their work only when the voice lines were already scorned.
What was the problem with Crunch ? Because the story team was chronic underrated and no help got, employees had to work between 60 and 100 hours when an extension declares. A member of the team should have become so ill that the person could no longer tap, but had to dictate texts.
The problem was strongly related to that the story team consistently stood under the criticism from the outside and inside.
What was the problem with Reddit? It is said, above all the criticism of the 1st DLC of Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris was terrible on Reddit. One would have identified individual women from the story team as a culprit and would have chopped up.
These comments were then sent by a bungee boss to other bosses of the studio to show that the story was the problem.
Opposite the team would have been said: that would not have to worry, one would bring back the authors team from Destiny 1 to solve the problems. As a result, the authors of Destiny 2 were afraid to do something that is poor at the community — so they were crunched.
How bad was the situation in other departments? Although the report focuses mainly on the story team, it says that there were also problems with individual guidance persons in other departments of bungee to have.
There was always problems with many years of employee in leadership positions that had been in Bungee since Halo 3, said they were able to take out everything, and above all Main treated. The speech is also of racist and gay painful utterances.
In the report, however, it also means that many sources have said, Bungee was even better than many other gaming studios. Only a few would have reported on physical harassment, some have hardly or no negative experiences.
But you do not have to have pictures of nude women as poster in the office to be problematic. The problems with bungee are often more subtle.
In the reports, it is also mentioned again and again that problematic people were finally went or dismissed — although late, from the point of view of their victims, but at least. It is talking about several places that men rose lightning fast at bungee because they were popular with the old guard, but then arrived at the top.
It's called bungee would have a cliques problem. To get up, you must have friends in the internal circle of the company. Because the circle has been white and male since the beginning, therefore, white men would have easier to make in the company career. A black woman says, for example, she often had the feeling of being completely invisible in meetings. Your feedback and your questions were simply ignored.
Bungee immediately reacts to report
How reacts report? The boss of Bungee has left a statement on the article on Friday, apologized for those who have experienced anything other than a safe, just and professional work environment (via Bungee).
It is said that you have already done a lot in recent years, among others Bad Actors, i.e. bad joins away.
You have read the report right for the first time and digest the straight. But Parsons believes all who deserve it would have already been dismissed, or they were no longer working for bungee. If new information comes to light, you will do the proceedings and determine.
You want to plan better now and spend more reasonable release data that take more attention to the health of the teams. Therefore, Shadow keep, Beyond Light and The Witch Queen have shifted.
In addition, one has and wants to further strengthen his efforts to create a variety and good working climate.
Report does not call names of those responsible, but explains many problems
This is behind it: The problems in the report seem to focus mainly on a Destiny department, on the story team.
The reports explain a variety of problems and decisions in the 7-year history of Destiny and Destiny 2, which impeded from the outside:
Nobody in the report calls the names of the Narrative leads, which are described so badly, but one knows that the Story Lead of Destiny 2 had to be replaced in April 2016 because he left the company completely surprisingly, After introducing a completely different storyline for Destiny 2 in a LiveStream in March 2016, from which one heard nothing more later. Destiny 2 was rebooted. Luke Smith had to take over and became a lot for the final result. It is known that the original author of Destiny 1 left the company and also had to take a big rewrite. This led to the story of Destiny 1 in many places was completely undesirable: keyword No time to explain why I have no time to explain. Whether the people who went to these reboots, too, are the people who are described in the article, but we do not know. There you should be careful not to do anyone.
The origin article from IGN is extremely extensive and deals with a variety of individual cases and problems. We will take a further detail of the report in the next few days on Mango.
That there were problems in the change of Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 with the story, we knew for years:
