Halo, Destiny composer O’Donnell wins big against Bungie, Activision

Halo and Destiny composer Marty O’Donnell has walked away with a fair chunk of change from Bungie and Activision Blizzard after a court-appointed arbitrator ruled in his favour.

The arbitrator ruled that O’Donnell was entitled to $95,000 USD in unpaid wages and $142,000 USD in profit sharing as a result of what’s been deemed an unfair dismissal. O’Donnell also is entitled to the shares which were forcibly stripped from him at the time of his termination from Bungie in 2014.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
