>Bungie fired Marty O'Donnell who is undeniably one of the reasons the Bungie Halo's were fondly remembered
>they go to shit
>Bethesda fires Jeremy Soule who is undeniably one of the reasons TES games are remembered as fondly as they are
>they go to shit
Why do they do this?

Execs and MBAs don't see the importance of things you can feel like music
They can't calculate the ROI on having a good composer, to them composers are interchangeable
>>
>>741900889
Execs only care about driving plays to score wins and engage shareholder value. That's it. For them, they all wanna be American Psycho.
>>
>>741901136
They can't even calculate more tangible things like consumer demand or consumer revulsion either seeing as how they keep throwing money at wokeslop
>>
>>741900889
Composers will be replaced by AI and 80% of consumers won't even notice or care.

Bethesda didn't fire Jeremy Soule, retard. TESVI isn't even far enough in dev to work on the soundtrack yet, and he never did the soundtrack for Fallout.
>>
>>741900889
Composers like Marty are expensive as FUCK. They know their worth, and CEOs whose only job is to maximise profits for shareholders sees how much the company is paying the composer and figures an intern can do the same job for a fraction of the salary.

He was a in-house composer. People like that earn a pittance and don't even own their music. That's why all the top composer talent left companies like Square-Enix.

Gamergate was dumb but Bannon is right about basically everything. Do you think left wing activists don't try to recruit via video games and media? They do it just as much, they're just bad at it.

Because management treat creatives like factory workers that can be easily replaced.
They think that you can replace a writer with any other writer of similar experience and it won't affect anything at all about their game.

Marty was fired for throwing a tantrum because he wasn't allowed to do the music for the trailers. He would interrupt meetings and threaten other employees until his music was used for the trailers

Such an obscenely retarded point of view, with no idea of how the real world actually operates. Most of "management, in video game companies, especially the successful ones that get bigger, are former developers themselves, or as you would call them "creatives".

Same thing happened with Minecraft. Absolutely nobody remembers or has nostalgia for any tracks that weren't made by C418 because the rest are extremely uninspired.
C418 pretty famously talked about when he was making music for Minecraft that making chiptune tracks in pixel/voxel style games was super popular at the time with other composers and he felt it was generic and purposely avoided doing it for Minecraft. Lo and behold, one of the first new tracks by Microsoft's approved people was chiptune junk.

As much as I like the guys work, Marty did actually earn that firing. Trying to fuck him out of his stock though was wrong.
Him becoming hard to work with and being a primadonna was actually true.

He also was in charge of sound direction, the environmental noises, weapon sounds, voice acting. Marty said he knew Bungie was firing him when he kept trying to schedule the voice actors studio time for their lines, and the board of directors kept blocking it.

Marty hasn't done shit since - literally no one gives a fuck about him anymore.
As far as Bungie firing their composers over the years losing Marty was a nothing burger event.
Them dropping Michael Salvatori after The Final Shape was the end for Destiny musically and a completely retarded move that only makes sense in hindsight - the game didn't need soul anymore because it was literally a shambling corpse.

>Did Mick actually do anything to justify getting shitcanned?
irc his side of the story was he was promised complete control of the game's bonus soundtrack CD that was with the preorder; Mick says he was on schedule and it was going to be all fine but the producers say he was behind deadline and were worried he wouldn't be finished so they hire another music producer to cut together an edit and this pisses Mick off and he goes public that they were fucking with his music behind his and he got dropped for being a bit of a prissy faggot about the whole thing and airing this shit publicly. Which is fair because I think he wasn't happy his name was being slapped on work that was not entirely his, and it's fair for them to give him a flick for being a diva about his art when they aren't making art they are making a product.
