In reaction to this change, Pete Parsons made this statement:
Furthermore, Pete addressed Destiny’s audience, stating:
Prior to becoming the (now former) President of Bungie, Harold Ryan was a former game and configuration tester who worked on games like Crimson Skies and Halo. He was the test manager for both Halo: CE and Halo 2, and became the company head in 2008.
Pete Parsons was the Chief Operating Officer of Bungie, and one of the members of Bungie’s Board of Directors (until his recent promotion, of course). Parsons worked on Halo 2 and Halo 3 as the Executive Producer and studio manager, and at one point alternated between being an Executive Producer at Bungie and Microsoft, respectively.
What do you think of this change? Why do you think Harold Ryan stepped down? Let me know down in the comments!
