Former Destiny 2 and Marathon reboot director Christopher Barrett is suing Bungie and Sony for $200m USD, claiming the companies "deliberately destroyed [his] reputation by falsely, and publicly, insinuating...he had engaged in sexual misconduct." "They had blatant motivations for their brazen scheme: (i) to avoid paying Barrett the nearly $50m he is owed under his employment agreement, and (ii) to shift blame for and deflect attention away from their massive business failures." Barrett also asserts Sony and Bungie "refused to explain further" after notifying him of his termination for "gross misconduct", and that he was told "nothing he could say would make a difference, despite never giving him a chance to engage with the allegations in the first place."
