Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response.

They deny claims of a "sham" investigation and share texts between him and female employees

Sony pushes back hard against Bungie veteran's wrongful termination lawsuit
