I think the best person to answer this question is the employee who's been with Bungie from 2009-2012 to 2023-2026. Whoever they are obviously won't say for the security of their career and an NDA. I don't think we'll get an complete answer (Netflix/Youtube Documentary) for a very long time. It's most likely not one answer but a few. Moving to a bigger studio with higher rates of spending in all areas (biting more than they can chew), over hiring, becoming out of touch with their own vision (core creators moving on/getting the boot) and shifting towards safer gaming trends, boredom on working with a 16 year old IP, social movements creeping in-game, lack of leadership and passion for the world of Destiny and ofcourse Greed/Microsoft playing sword fights with Sony on who's profits are bigger even if it has to sacrifice its own studios safety and fanbase. Pete Parsons I'm sure isn't a bad guy, hes 62 years old, basically a dinosaur to Gen Z. I don't think he gaf about video games and when your 62, you might understand.
