En af de ægte veteraner hos Bungie, Joseph Staten, meddeler at han forlader studiet efter 15 år. Staten begyndte hos Bungie helt tilbage i Myth-dagene, og har siden da fungeret som manuskriptforfatter til både Halo-spillene og senest også Destiny.
På Bungies webside skriver Staten: 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.
Staten skriver dog ikke noget om hvad han nu skal lave.
