“Threatened retaliation on first contact”: As I dig into a former Halo art director’s claims, I’m left questioning what else Microsoft didn’t want anyone to see.

Former Halo Studios art director Glenn Israel has taken to LinkedIn, alleging serious misconduct involving Halo Studios and Microsoft. In his claims, Israel says senior representatives engaged in unethical and or unlawful acts, including blacklisting, fraud, favoritism, and cronyism (the act of appointing friends), as well as multiple harassment campaigns aimed at forcing out unwanted employees.

For those unaware, Glen Israel joined Bungie back in 2008 to work on Halo 3: ODST, also working on Halo: Reach before joining 343 Industries when it was formed.
