Bungie, the sinister gift that keeps on taking... Upper Echelon, this rabbit hole is a lot deeper than you think. Bungie has had a worse impact of gaming/the gaming work industry than anyone realises. Look at the 400 million Concord debacle for example. Consultants at Sony (who stopped all projects except Concord) - ex Bungie developers Lead Firewalk development team - ex Bungie developers CEO of the company, who sold Firewalk to Sony - ex Bungie creator and investor in Sweet Baby Inc among other consultant companies. A person who has multiple HR SA misconducts buried and bought off victims. ex Bungie Developers who: -Killed games like: Infamous and Protoype reboots, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter and the biggest crime of all was killing the The Legend of Dragoon remake, among countless others. These ex Bungie employees with their HQ in California, actually only paid their taxes in another State entirely (that was some accountancy wizardry). They have made off like robber barons in the night. So UE, these guys are the mafia of gaming and hopefully the jig is up as Sony Japan has caught on to the continued failures and mismanagement of money.
He was a board member at bungie. So even though he was fired before all stock options vested he likely still walked away from the Sony deal with 10’s of millions of dollars.
So an adulterer, an armchair activist, a professional victim, and a narcissist all walk into a bar. One cheats, one pretends to have moral superiority, one tries to silence her critics because the criticism offends her, and one is completely full of themselves. They all knew each other well - but when they're all Sarah Daniels, it'd be scary if they didn't.
@@bobSeigar Hahaha how can a simple thing like open relationships trigger you so much? Of course the other creepy things are wrong, but you should not make the assumption of what rules people have in a relationship based on no evidence.

@@Kraller100 Except that it had plenty to do with her graduating. Was it the sole reason? No, but it was a heavy influence on her decision regardless.

True, but big time important to distinguish between canceling someone, and someone suffering the consequences of their actions. Good example of the later, recently, is Mr. Beast.
The amount of "Butt Hurt" involved here makes me wonder which pipe twisting meth head gave the other ones herpes? All of this was done for "He said some things we didn't agree with"?
First, I hope you are able to Escape from NYC. Second, I completely agree with your statement and will only add that most use projection to make them feel better about themselves and keep attention away from their own devious activities, true in many aspects across our current society.
Lono still streams to 400-500 people every weekday. Out of curiosity I checked up on the two main people that went after him. One was streaming to 55 people and the other hadn’t streamed in two weeks.
For people that keep at it and endure, the truth will out. Glad to hear the man is doing ok and that indiscretions didn't burn down his life completely.
Karma’s a bitch, and so is Sarah Daniels. She coordinated Lono’s cancellation out of petty jealousy at his success and gloated about it. Now she and her husband are finally getting everything they deserve.
Coordinating with another girls to falsely accuse some guy, remove him from every community with false accusations... everyone that can be proven to have been involved, including the mother and attorneys, should be in jail for defamation.
@@singithi8556 I mean, for the most part it was shown the women went along with it and the accusations were of being "creepy" (not a crime) and of having shown themselves receptive to his advances, but clout will turn the consent of today into the allegation of tomorrow.
I have to admit I’m glad you’re talking about this again. When this initially happened my entire opinion on the destiny 2 creator sphere imploded. The majority of them being coordinated in a hate campaign while also having Bungie step in at the same time soured me on the entire community
@@mildlydazed9608 same here mate. I watched a heap of different D2 content creators at the time - probably upward of 15-20 and after the dust settled i only know watch Cross & Houndish for actual D2 news. When Lupo got involved as well I bailed on the whole D2, twitch & twitter world. Kinda worked out in the end I suppose
its honestly kinda fascinating, having seen it before in the Fire Emblem youtube community. all of a sudden, a bunch of claims come out of the shadows in a coordinated strike on the largest/most successful youtuber for FE, catch everyone completely off guard. in much the same way, he was admittedly not exactly a shining exemplar of virtue, but the shit they were claiming was pretty fucked up. in the end though, the coordination is what brought EVERYTHING into question, and he made some serious changes to his attitude/personality and how he presents himself. still crazy tho
This. I stopped playing Destiny soon after all this happened, which was hard - it was literally the only game I played. The fact that Bungie itself was so enabling of this behavior and had some of it inside the company itself made it impossible for me to justify supporting them anymore.
I knew this would come full circle eventually. This felt suss as way back then. Not that what Lono did was anything decent, but the action by the Destiny community was next level cancel culture.
@@mexicanprime106 oh definitely! Like what Lono did was pretty creepy - especially for a married man, but I’m pretty sure he broke no laws & even was cleared by St Jude’s with a full investigation. But then all the top D2 knobs come out & even that Dr Lupo stooge & just pilled on so bad. I never feel sorry for many people when it comes to this sort of stuff, but what was brought down on him for basically being a bit of a sleaze was nuts to watch
Sarah Daniels always seemed sus to me. Like, all she wanted was to be popular in the Destiny directory. She always seemed out of place with Broman and Gothalion but she was always weaseling in to the streams and events. I always figured she just married Barrett because it was her ticket to Destiny stardom. That and he was probably rich.
For reference: Lono has openly admitted to having narcissistic tendencies and is even in therapy for it. He owns up to his faults and has only ever blamed everyone involved for their own actions. SD and CB were never the key players in his canceling, they just couldn't hold back their gloating. If you want to look into things deeper, look into Mindofsnaps and King Gothalion. It gets juicy...
@@congoredjr Unfortunately, there isn’t a video or anything I can point to. Mainly just previous Twitter/X posts. Basically, there is a victim and predator story there, but anything I or anyone else says would be pure speculation based on what we heard. Have to hope the true story will come out in the future.
It’s honestly heartening to see Lono still going. I remember when all this went down and thought it was crazy! He’s a pretty cool dude and has made a huge personal turn around for himself! So happy he got therapy and him and his wife/fam are all on good terms with each other! So happy for him!
Christopher Barrett was the director for Marathon at Bungie up until six months ago, when he was replaced with Joe Ziegler (formerly Valorant director from Riot). Didn't know about all this scummy stuff, but it looks like Bungie already found out about all this six months ago, but took a while to solidify his sacking.
Lono's issue was that he was a severe narcissist back in his Destiny days. Did he deserve his livelihood destroyed by Bungo HQ and "The Barretts?" No. Lono seems to be a better person now in his new channel.
@@retroelectrical The problem I see with people who call others a narcissist (not you in this case, as Lono has openly called himself that) is that your average person doesn’t understand it originates from deep-seeded self-loathing. As humans, we’re all born with narcissistic tendencies, since we literally need others to do everything for us. Some people just mature mentally a lot slower than they do physically.
I suppose to understand these situations one would have had to be there and to know were they flirting at all themselves? Or were they just "being friendly" or were they just innocently minding their business when some handsy creep came along and bothered them? This context matters quite a lot
I was hoping somebody would cover this after the news came out about dudes departure from Bungie for litany of sexual harassment claims. Also to have a nervous breakdown because somebody propositions you is kind of wild to me. I did not know about that
Yea, I laughed at that....Guy "Hey, wanna come upp to my room". Girl "Wildly throws arms in the Air screaming and runs off in a flailing manner"....WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE LOL
I was literally propositioned by an adult when I was 13 and had less of a reaction... Also I was alone in that persons care... Still had less of a reaction.
You fought a giant and won. Well, they fought themselves actually. That has to sting. You just know they they had trouble sleeping that night. Amazing.
I found you through the original SayNoToRage you made years ago and actually what made me sub all those years ago. Glad your covering this conclusion as well.
THAT'S IT ??? No happy ending ? What happened to the guy they tried to cancel? What are the 2 cheating idiots doing now ? I was expecting a big surprise at the end and the video just ends?
Actually, Lono rebranded as reforge gaming. And he still streams daily. His numbers are pretty good. Sarah Daniels no longer plays the game, she hasn't played the game in years, the last time I saw her stream, she had 63 people watching. And her moderators kept deleting comments of ppl making fun of her husband getting fired. Telling her to start OF. 😅
Eh its a good ending all things considered. Lono (now Reforge Gaming) still has a good number of viewers in his streams. Sarah Daniels has effectively fallen off and will likely start spreading her legs out of desperation on OF, and Chris Barrett was fired from his job so he's currently unemployed and no longer has a powerful job. Here's hoping both his and Sarah's lovers find out about them cheating and kicks them both to the curb
We are talking about people that make a career out of sitting in the house playing video games all day. Yes it's financially rewarding, but I don't think it's surprising at all that a lot of them either act like children or creepy weirdos.
It's kinda bizzare that we live in a world where abusing your power and using corpo resources to go after other people is fine, but sending a couple of creepy messages is an unforgivable offence.
Especially since it’s only creepy if the she finds you unattractive. The exact same conversation or texts could be charming in one cubicle and a fireable offense in another based entirely on mood/perception. It’s a thin line between them. But abuse of power is abuse of power. You are spot on!
Maybe I've just grown extremely insensitive or cynical as I've grown older but I feel like if someone asks you "hey, wanna come back to my hotel room" a simple "no" would suffice instead of having a "nervous breakdown" in the middle of a crowded bar. Maybe I'm just an asshole. I don't know. That seems a little over the top, though.
@@Wdavidmetzger You should also know the majority of the awkward moments that were twisted into creepy behavior happened after he was essentially drugged by one of his accusers. Now, he should certainly accept responsibility for taking something that I believe was still illegal in most states at the time, but the point is it doesn’t just fall on him.
@@MrIansmitchell Dont know, but at this day and age there was more consequences to the blind guy "staring" at a woman in the gym that the president sniffing kids
Ah, the sinking ship that is Bungie, Joe saw this ages ago and jumped ship. Still sad his vision for Destiny never got fully realized. But seeing the way things are going down over there. I'm guessing he dodged a bullet.
Man I remember this blowing up on your channel like it was yesterday. I honestly completely forgot about it, but I mean it when I say this is probably one of the largest ironies I've ever seen on the internet.
I remember when this whole thing went down and I’ve never trusted bungee sense. They did Lono very wrong here. He was just a little weird and creepy and they all took that and ran with it and completely manipulating the situation and got him completely annihilated.
Seems like corporations (and celebrities) love chucking stones from their glass mansions and complaining about the specks in our eyes when they have planks in theirs. I play destiny religiously and keep up with bungie a lot so I’m not really surprised by this. Every week, they put out a post about future updates coming out and a lot of times they’re obnoxiously virtue signaling and even talking about politics even though that’s against their rules. They’ll also do things like add emblems for certain groups. I’m a part of two of those groups with emblems and I can honestly say, they’re not sincere about it and just want the pr boost. I think it’s obvious they only want to pander to minorities when it helps them cuz last year they put up a twitter post about Latino heritage month but Latinos crucified them for it since bungie referred to them as Latinx. Bungie just hid their replies and refused to acknowledge the situation. I also remember when they were using the activision blizzard SA coverup to make themselves look better then got exposed for creating an extremely toxic work environment, causing people to quit, and even harassing employees that wanted the company to embrace diversity. It’s extremely pathetic but not surprising, that some destiny UA-camrs were involved and never apologized. Mtashed has a video that has like 300k views on the situation that has false information and he still hasn’t taken it down. Datto made some tweets but I don’t know if he apologized. Tbh I doubt he would ever criticize bungie and make them look bad after he went full apologist mode last year and defended bungie from criticism over the extreme monetization of destiny. Some comments are saying king gothalion was also involved which I’m not really surprised by since back in 2018, he was acting like everyone who criticized bf5 for being historically inaccurate was evil. Also not surprising that only a few Destiny UA-camrs acknowledge and covered the story of Chris Barrett getting fired a few weeks ago.
ya one who did have the balls to cover it but then turned around and used it to attack SNTR, was TrueVanguard, couldnt admit his friends Daniels and Barret were piles of garbage and that he was likely left astray.
Daniels and Barrett are absolutely disgusting people and bungie is a horrible company and I hope Destiny fails after all these years and Marathon is just another concord
If I remember right UEG said it had something to do with a joke about him having a long neck or something in one of the old videos, hard to tell these days how far back that was lol.
Been subbed since 2017 and I always thought it was just his title card at the end of every video. If you find the video for the music, the comments reference UE.
Yeah this whole thing was honestly the point where I began to absolutely hate the idea of people getting cancelled and it ended being about the time we saw a shift in the culture. Good job! Thanks for the work
The Bungie from the Halo era had half of them leave and stick with Halo when Bungie moved on to make Destiny. At least half of the 50% that stayed at Bungie to work on Destiny left over the course of Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 up to Forsaken. There's only maybe 5 or so people from the old Halo era Bungie still at Bungie now after Michael Salvatori got laid off. At this point, the only people from Halo era Bungie I know that still are somewhat in the spotlight are Marcus Lehto (who was working on a game with a team of people last I knew. Don't know what came of that project though), Marty O'Donnell (who's the only one who I view as still particularly holding strong), and Joe Staten popped up for a while during Halo Infinite but Microsoft used him as a scapegoat for why the game was bad (the ultimate irony is Staten got exonerated and proven "innocent" when Halo Infinite still kept going on a decline).
Your coverage of this story and Lono's shouting it out in gratitude is what exposed me to your channel way back then. I had just found Lono and begun to really like his content and coverage of my favorite game when these accusations came out, and it was quickly obvious who was lying and who wasn't. Lono never tried to cover up anything he actually did and was literally already in therapy with his wife to address issues he/they had already identified and seen that he needed help with. Meanwhile his accusers were and have continued doing stuff like this... It's still sad to see how much was taken away from Lono (he had recently begun to take the top streaming slot on Twitch iirc, hence the canceling effort) but I'm glad to see the garbage getting taken out while he's still doing what he loves even if it's to a smaller audience. Props to Lono for how he handled the situation. It clearly affected him tremendously in many ways, but he was always open with his community about how he was managing and coping with things, and never lost faith in the fact that the truth would be revealed.
When everything happened and the following weeks and months after streaming on UA-cam, he almost wanted to quit streaming entirely. And after going through various alterations of what they wanted to do, he found something that worked. Me and many others continue to support him in his endeavors and streams throughout the week. Even though it can be challenging, especially in the gaming industry when it comes to subjects.
How do you prove someone was falsely accused of "being creepy". It does seem that there was a massive amount of insincerity in the situation with the first dude who got the struggle session. But, we don't have access to video's of the event's to say what happened, and what did not. What I am confused about, are the people who believe that all accusations must be 100% true, without any evidence. I guess some people are still saying "believe all women", as if all human beings, of any kind, are trustworthy.
@@singithi8556 Most were exaggerated. And there were anonymous comments accusing him of the actual R word. That can take a mental toll on a person and there should be repercussions for that. Fines at the very least.
What goes around comes around to these two. Lono has actually risen from the ashes and in my opinion is a far better man than he was before this happened. I started watching his streams and her streams after your original videos led me to the topic four years ago and all I can say is that after my own observations it’s not hard to see who is telling the truth out of the whole situation. Thanks for your content as always!
Been following you since just before this whole Lono situation. Love your stuff. Revisiting all the videos in this series. As a Destiny player at the time this whole situation made me uncomfortable with the devs. Keep up the great work!!
It´s crazy how stuff sometimes fall into each other. Just a few days ago we have been discussing on different channel how that happened that Barret got sacked and Marathon got different director an all the shit happening in Bungie.
One word. Snaps. This will shed light on everything upper echelon neglected to mention here. I think a bit more digging should have been done but I also get that this video isn't about that case per se but a larger issue. Great video though as usual.
@@DaUsed1989 They tried with Aztecross a few years ago. They tried saying he broke NDAs when he said Bungie was constantly updating D2’s engine. They did that because he didn’t go with the crowd in regards to Lono and remained neutral. They knew better because they pretty much all deleted their tweets immediately after.
I just picked up Frost Punk and when I looked for guides to help get past the first week, I found a video from you years ago. Even if you're past your "peak" even content from way back then is proving helpful and insightful. Please do a tips and tricks for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
I do not believe that any man should have his life ruined for the mere act of makign a woman slighly uncomfortable. I thought women were supposed to be adults and as equally as capable and compotent in all and every area as men are? Or is that not the case and they need protecting? if so... Maybe they shouldn't be in charge of anything? Maybe they shouldn't be in the workforce? Food for thought.
@@Doomweapon66 If nothing else the past 100 years of western societal development has proven two things: 1)women are as a group: craven, selfish, illogical, ungrateful, stupid creatures. 2)Pretty much every single society in world history was right about women and their role in society, politics, science, culture, industry, etc. Women were happier the old way. Massively. Society and culture were healthier. Everything worked better... But women still prefer this new way. Because the TV tells them they deserve whatever they want all the time forever.
I remember when this first kicked off…. I was never a SNTR fan but it was odd… all those chicks that dropped it all at once would consistently down ride every man that was seemingly better professionally than they were… they didn’t go after guys who propped them up, which is why folks like Lupo, Goth and Bronan would always “hahaha you’re so quirky (insert one of the accusers)”
Maybe I am remembering the time line wrong. But I think this was happening around the same time Bungie update their terms of service, that a short hand version said they can ban any one for any reason, there does not need a be a breach or violation. This clause still remains in effect to this day.
As soon as her husband got caught she left the internet. she could dish it out but the moment it could come back to her she up and leaves like a coward. Bungie and the internet is better off without them. Especially since chris Barrett accused lono of the same actions he did himself.. hypocrisy must be common when you have a lot of money
The karma here is amazing. I always felt like lono got did SO dirty in that whole deal. Its one thing to get "cancelled" and have everyone hate you but what they did to that man went over the damn line if you ask me. Had no business banning him from D2. The fact that people were cool with all of it going down blows my damn mind. I wish lono would sue these fucks. Im no lawyer but after all thats gone down im sure he has a decent case and could get back some of what they took from him. He was BLOWING UP in the twitch / destiny / youtube world at that time. Sorry for the rant but i always had a ton of respect for lono. He gave me a second chance in his community after i was a prick when first finding his stream years ago. Hes a good dude just trying to survive like the rest of us out here. If you read my entire rant, sorry and thanks. 😂🍻🤘
@LadyBits2023 lol yea real powerful. Dumbass got fired and let's not forget who the real weirdo in this situation is. Mr "let me try and abuse the power I have at work and cheat on my wife" that's waaaay different then getting fucked up and being a little creepy. One of those actions is actually against the law and deserves jail time and the other does not. Now go have fun commenting on anyone else that says lono got wronged on your alt account, weirdo. I mean if your going to ballwash at least take ownership.
I've watched Lono for a while now, and he's said that suing would drain his bank. I believe there are other reasons too, but I'm sure finances are the main issue since he has a family to support. I wish he could sue them too, but him pushing forward through all of that was the best thing he could do. It really sucked seeing his downfall due to people in power spreading misinformation about him. I always loved his discussions on D2. He's still doing good now and I enjoy seeing his talent implemented within gaming in general, but to me, he truly shined when it came to Destiny. I would have loved to hear his opinions and gameplay experiences on The Witch Queen, Lightfall and The Final Shape.
@@sanrok2 yet buying the 700 dollar disk driverless stand less ps5 pro is something he can afford that an excuse he likely was afraid given its a bungie executive
@Unapologeticweeb that's not comparable. You either are willfully ignorant or dangerously incompetent. Being able to afford things and the likes is one thing. Being able to afford a lawyer who will most likely need thousands and thousands each month is a vastly different ball game.
I think my biggest sympathy for Lono came from his attempts to correct this bad lifestyle he was living through therapy. Only for this entire thing to cause people to blow up at him as if he never changed and was hiding this in the closet to never be dealt with, the kind of shit Barrett was probably doing to stay safe. Something about your efforts to better yourself being disregarded by everyone around you broke my heart to watch. If people have to be infallibly perfect their entire lives or face public ostracisation, that's kinda screwed up imo. We're all flawed. He had his flaws, recognized it, learned from it, tried to remedy it, and probably would have tried to make proper amends with these people had they not shut him out and later stooped even lower to try and ruin his life. I was never even a big fan of his. I think I disagreed with multiple Destiny takes, but those are just opinions. I draw the line at life ruining conspiracies however that could easily be settled privately and not the trashy court of public opinion known as Twitter.
the guy didn't sound creepy at all, he just sounded like he had really bad game and didnt read signals right (but a lot of women also put out misleading signals to fuck with people). sounds more like there was a group of people that dont like him for other reasons
As a (former) Halo fanatic, I'm quite proud of myself for how hard I dropped any and all support for Bungie. I can't remember the name of it, but in Destiny 1 the first DLC had more content for Playstation players (for the same price). That pissed me off immensely, telling the Xbox users who turned their company into a massive success that they deserve less than Playstation users. I dropped Destiny and all things Bungie cold turkey that day, and never looked back. Finding out later what they did to Marty made it even easier. And this saga is the cherry on top. What an awful company.
As someone who was threatened by multiple people due to severe false accusations I can probably tell you there’s a very good chance this person struggled with severe mental health and anxiety issues for years after the fact that kind of a mental scar doesn’t ever truly go away
You know what man, you are the only person on YT (that I follow) that is grounded in reality. If you decide to leave this shajt I would understand and respect that. I am still sad that we lost TB because he was grounded and spoke out almost every time. My point is that people like you are rare and I wish you all the best.
What really sucks is at the time this just empowered so many shitty streamers within the directory to isolate a bunch of what was otherwise a wonderful community. If you were a little out there, if you didn't have the same politics or ideology, they'd instantly focus in on you and use those allegations to justify alienating you - and it all grew out of this one moment when a couple of the top table of streamers who attended GCX decided they *didn't like someone* turned into a literal witch hunt. Ah well. the community is all but dead. 20k concurrent players and diminishing all the time despite Bungie's best attempts. I wish I could say I have sympathy for them, but I really don't.
Dude come on now "past your due". You just gave every valid reason why your needed in critiquing the injustice on this planet. As long as you keep your nose clean you will always have subs.

Upper Echelon, this rabbit hole is a lot deeper than you think. Bungie has had a worse impact of gaming/the gaming work industry than anyone realises.
Look at the 400 million Concord debacle for example.
Consultants at Sony (who stopped all projects except Concord) - ex Bungie developers
Lead Firewalk development team - ex Bungie developers
CEO of the company, who sold Firewalk to Sony - ex Bungie creator and investor in Sweet Baby Inc among other consultant companies. A person who has multiple HR SA misconducts buried and bought off victims.
ex Bungie Developers who:
-Killed games like: Infamous and Protoype reboots, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter and the biggest crime of all was killing the The Legend of Dragoon remake, among countless others.
These ex Bungie employees with their HQ in California, actually only paid their taxes in another State entirely (that was some accountancy wizardry). They have made off like robber barons in the night.

Lono used to have 1500-2000 viewers at a time. That’s the problem.
@@uldrensav972 for sure. My point is he’s making it work and doing ok and they’re all still irrelevant.
For people that keep at it and endure, the truth will out. Glad to hear the man is doing ok and that indiscretions didn't burn down his life completely.
....hes streaming to a restaurants worth of people.. thats not making it worrk.
Karma’s a bitch, and so is Sarah Daniels. She coordinated Lono’s cancellation out of petty jealousy at his success and gloated about it. Now she and her husband are finally getting everything they deserve.
Preach. This has been obvious for years, except to her simps.

I have to admit I’m glad you’re talking about this again. When this initially happened my entire opinion on the destiny 2 creator sphere imploded. The majority of them being coordinated in a hate campaign while also having Bungie step in at the same time soured me on the entire community
@@mildlydazed9608 same here mate. I watched a heap of different D2 content creators at the time - probably upward of 15-20 and after the dust settled i only know watch Cross & Houndish for actual D2 news.
When Lupo got involved as well I bailed on the whole D2, twitch & twitter world. Kinda worked out in the end I suppose
its honestly kinda fascinating, having seen it before in the Fire Emblem youtube community. all of a sudden, a bunch of claims come out of the shadows in a coordinated strike on the largest/most successful youtuber for FE, catch everyone completely off guard. in much the same way, he was admittedly not exactly a shining exemplar of virtue, but the shit they were claiming was pretty fucked up. in the end though, the coordination is what brought EVERYTHING into question, and he made some serious changes to his attitude/personality and how he presents himself. still crazy tho
Same, I quit watching everyone. I did not even like Lono that much but the railroad job was so egregious I could not ignore it.
This. I stopped playing Destiny soon after all this happened, which was hard - it was literally the only game I played. The fact that Bungie itself was so enabling of this behavior and had some of it inside the company itself made it impossible for me to justify supporting them anymore.
Same
I knew this would come full circle eventually. This felt suss as way back then. Not that what Lono did was anything decent, but the action by the Destiny community was next level cancel culture.
the destiny content creators at the top always did give me a hive mind like mentality
@@mexicanprime106 oh definitely! Like what Lono did was pretty creepy - especially for a married man, but I’m pretty sure he broke no laws & even was cleared by St Jude’s with a full investigation. But then all the top D2 knobs come out & even that Dr Lupo stooge & just pilled on so bad. I never feel sorry for many people when it comes to this sort of stuff, but what was brought down on him for basically being a bit of a sleaze was nuts to watch

Sarah Daniels always seemed sus to me. Like, all she wanted was to be popular in the Destiny directory. She always seemed out of place with Broman and Gothalion but she was always weaseling in to the streams and events. I always figured she just married Barrett because it was her ticket to Destiny stardom. That and he was probably rich.
For reference: Lono has openly admitted to having narcissistic tendencies and is even in therapy for it. He owns up to his faults and has only ever blamed everyone involved for their own actions. SD and CB were never the key players in his canceling, they just couldn't hold back their gloating. If you want to look into things deeper, look into Mindofsnaps and King Gothalion. It gets juicy...
Is there a good break down of their involvement somewhere you can point to? Not expecting you to write War And Peace in a youtube comment of course.
@congoredjr I would be interested as well! I remember watching the prior videos on this fiasco but I completely forget of those names were touched on
@@congoredjr Unfortunately, there isn’t a video or anything I can point to. Mainly just previous Twitter/X posts. Basically, there is a victim and predator story there, but anything I or anyone else says would be pure speculation based on what we heard. Have to hope the true story will come out in the future.
It’s honestly heartening to see Lono still going. I remember when all this went down and thought it was crazy! He’s a pretty cool dude and has made a huge personal turn around for himself! So happy he got therapy and him and his wife/fam are all on good terms with each other! So happy for him!
he can also never admit he is wrong case and point ss squad and concord
Christopher Barrett was the director for Marathon at Bungie up until six months ago, when he was replaced with Joe Ziegler (formerly Valorant director from Riot).
Didn't know about all this scummy stuff, but it looks like Bungie already found out about all this six months ago, but took a while to solidify his sacking.
Thanks for doing a video on this, nobody seems to have noticed and it's comedy gold
Lono's issue was that he was a severe narcissist back in his Destiny days. Did he deserve his livelihood destroyed by Bungo HQ and "The Barretts?" No.
Lono seems to be a better person now in his new channel.
@@retroelectrical The problem I see with people who call others a narcissist (not you in this case, as Lono has openly called himself that) is that your average person doesn’t understand it originates from deep-seeded self-loathing. As humans, we’re all born with narcissistic tendencies, since we literally need others to do everything for us. Some people just mature mentally a lot slower than they do physically.
Whenever women start coordinating stories I become INSTANTLY suspicious. Very suspicious.
Sounds just like that whole metoo situation with bill cosby.
Why only women and how can you accurately asses whether or not any kind of deliberate coordination takes place? Very suspicious.
@@anteshell Not only women, but men don't usually do that with social destruction. Women do it all the time.
I suppose to understand these situations one would have had to be there and to know were they flirting at all themselves? Or were they just "being friendly" or were they just innocently minding their business when some handsy creep came along and bothered them?
This context matters quite a lot
@@anteshell Men aren't good at coordinating manipulation like this with one another.
I was hoping somebody would cover this after the news came out about dudes departure from Bungie for litany of sexual harassment claims.
Also to have a nervous breakdown because somebody propositions you is kind of wild to me. I did not know about that
Yea, I laughed at that....Guy "Hey, wanna come upp to my room".
Girl "Wildly throws arms in the Air screaming and runs off in a flailing manner"....WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE LOL
I was literally propositioned by an adult when I was 13 and had less of a reaction... Also I was alone in that persons care... Still had less of a reaction.
You fought a giant and won. Well, they fought themselves actually. That has to sting. You just know they they had trouble sleeping that night. Amazing.
I found you through the original SayNoToRage you made years ago and actually what made me sub all those years ago. Glad your covering this conclusion as well.
As a Bungie player who didn't know about this situation as soon as I heard Christopher Barret was her husband I burst out laughing😂😂😂
You're old videos on the "Bungie lawyers" are what got me watching you, they were so good. Keep up the good work!
THAT'S IT ??? No happy ending ? What happened to the guy they tried to cancel? What are the 2 cheating idiots doing now ? I was expecting a big surprise at the end and the video just ends?
Reforge Gaming has been streaming gaming news (on YT) for years now. That’s who they tried to cancel. He’s doing alright from what it seems.
Actually, Lono rebranded as reforge gaming. And he still streams daily. His numbers are pretty good. Sarah Daniels no longer plays the game, she hasn't played the game in years, the last time I saw her stream, she had 63 people watching. And her moderators kept deleting comments of ppl making fun of her husband getting fired. Telling her to start OF. 😅
Eh its a good ending all things considered. Lono (now Reforge Gaming) still has a good number of viewers in his streams. Sarah Daniels has effectively fallen off and will likely start spreading her legs out of desperation on OF, and Chris Barrett was fired from his job so he's currently unemployed and no longer has a powerful job. Here's hoping both his and Sarah's lovers find out about them cheating and kicks them both to the curb

Lord Acton puts it well: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

How things can be misconstrued when “among friends” is used against you to topple you down and livelihood.
i was so mad that they got awat with destroying his career when it happened, i could smell their deceptiveness a mile away
It's kinda bizzare that we live in a world where abusing your power and using corpo resources to go after other people is fine, but sending a couple of creepy messages is an unforgivable offence.
Especially since it’s only creepy if the she finds you unattractive. The exact same conversation or texts could be charming in one cubicle and a fireable offense in another based entirely on mood/perception. It’s a thin line between them. But abuse of power is abuse of power. You are spot on!
Maybe I've just grown extremely insensitive or cynical as I've grown older but I feel like if someone asks you "hey, wanna come back to my hotel room" a simple "no" would suffice instead of having a "nervous breakdown" in the middle of a crowded bar.

This whole situation has made me skeptical towards any allegations until I’ve seen each side.
Ah, the sinking ship that is Bungie, Joe saw this ages ago and jumped ship. Still sad his vision for Destiny never got fully realized. But seeing the way things are going down over there. I'm guessing he dodged a bullet.
Man I remember this blowing up on your channel like it was yesterday. I honestly completely forgot about it, but I mean it when I say this is probably one of the largest ironies I've ever seen on the internet.
She had a nervous breakdown over what!?
I remember when this whole thing went down and I’ve never trusted bungee sense. They did Lono very wrong here. He was just a little weird and creepy and they all took that and ran with it and completely manipulating the situation and got him completely annihilated.
Seems like corporations (and celebrities) love chucking stones from their glass mansions and complaining about the specks in our eyes when they have planks in theirs.
I play destiny religiously and keep up with bungie a lot so I’m not really surprised by this. Every week, they put out a post about future updates coming out and a lot of times they’re obnoxiously virtue signaling and even talking about politics even though that’s against their rules. They’ll also do things like add emblems for certain groups. I’m a part of two of those groups with emblems and I can honestly say, they’re not sincere about it and just want the pr boost. I think it’s obvious they only want to pander to minorities when it helps them cuz last year they put up a twitter post about Latino heritage month but Latinos crucified them for it since bungie referred to them as Latinx. Bungie just hid their replies and refused to acknowledge the situation.
I also remember when they were using the activision blizzard SA coverup to make themselves look better then got exposed for creating an extremely toxic work environment, causing people to quit, and even harassing employees that wanted the company to embrace diversity.
It’s extremely pathetic but not surprising, that some destiny UA-camrs were involved and never apologized. Mtashed has a video that has like 300k views on the situation that has false information and he still hasn’t taken it down. Datto made some tweets but I don’t know if he apologized. Tbh I doubt he would ever criticize bungie and make them look bad after he went full apologist mode last year and defended bungie from criticism over the extreme monetization of destiny. Some comments are saying king gothalion was also involved which I’m not really surprised by since back in 2018, he was acting like everyone who criticized bf5 for being historically inaccurate was evil. Also not surprising that only a few Destiny UA-camrs acknowledge and covered the story of Chris Barrett getting fired a few weeks ago.
ya one who did have the balls to cover it but then turned around and used it to attack SNTR, was TrueVanguard, couldnt admit his friends Daniels and Barret were piles of garbage and that he was likely left astray.
Daniels and Barrett are absolutely disgusting people and bungie is a horrible company and I hope Destiny fails after all these years and Marathon is just another concord
From what I've seen from big and small creators the number of snakes and creeps is a real problem and it's interesting how often the two are combined.
I was waiting for this once I heard about Chris Barnette being fired.
Didn’t expect you to talk about Lono again, what a breath of fresh air.
She did this because he was a fellow streamer: she set him up to knock him down for the sake of eliminating the competition.
I was banned for 3 days for writing “fire Chris Barrett” on the app.. haven’t played destiny since
Now I bet they took my advice.. lol
What is up with the giraffe clip at the end? I’ve seen it so many times but I never really thought about it till now.

This isn't Bungie. It's a skinwalker that has assumed the identity of Bungie.
Like Noble 6, Bungie died on Reach.
The Bungie from the Halo era had half of them leave and stick with Halo when Bungie moved on to make Destiny. At least half of the 50% that stayed at Bungie to work on Destiny left over the course of Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 up to Forsaken. There's only maybe 5 or so people from the old Halo era Bungie still at Bungie now after Michael Salvatori got laid off.
At this point, the only people from Halo era Bungie I know that still are somewhat in the spotlight are Marcus Lehto (who was working on a game with a team of people last I knew. Don't know what came of that project though), Marty O'Donnell (who's the only one who I view as still particularly holding strong), and Joe Staten popped up for a while during Halo Infinite but Microsoft used him as a scapegoat for why the game was bad (the ultimate irony is Staten got exonerated and proven "innocent" when Halo Infinite still kept going on a decline).
@@Doomweapon66 I think Jason Jones is still in Bungie afaik
@@dookie_12 Damn, this hit. Remember Reach 😢
Your coverage of this story and Lono's shouting it out in gratitude is what exposed me to your channel way back then. I had just found Lono and begun to really like his content and coverage of my favorite game when these accusations came out, and it was quickly obvious who was lying and who wasn't. Lono never tried to cover up anything he actually did and was literally already in therapy with his wife to address issues he/they had already identified and seen that he needed help with. Meanwhile his accusers were and have continued doing stuff like this...
It's still sad to see how much was taken away from Lono (he had recently begun to take the top streaming slot on Twitch iirc, hence the canceling effort) but I'm glad to see the garbage getting taken out while he's still doing what he loves even if it's to a smaller audience.
Props to Lono for how he handled the situation. It clearly affected him tremendously in many ways, but he was always open with his community about how he was managing and coping with things, and never lost faith in the fact that the truth would be revealed.
When everything happened and the following weeks and months after streaming on UA-cam, he almost wanted to quit streaming entirely. And after going through various alterations of what they wanted to do, he found something that worked.
Me and many others continue to support him in his endeavors and streams throughout the week.
Even though it can be challenging, especially in the gaming industry when it comes to subjects.
If he's falsely accused the women should be fired and taken to court aswell.
Not in current year they're not.
Except it wasn't false.
How do you prove someone was falsely accused of "being creepy". It does seem that there was a massive amount of insincerity in the situation with the first dude who got the struggle session. But, we don't have access to video's of the event's to say what happened, and what did not. What I am confused about, are the people who believe that all accusations must be 100% true, without any evidence. I guess some people are still saying "believe all women", as if all human beings, of any kind, are trustworthy.
@@singithi8556 Most were exaggerated. And there were anonymous comments accusing him of the actual R word. That can take a mental toll on a person and there should be repercussions for that. Fines at the very least.
That will never happen with the way the Court systems operate. Look into the 'Duluth Model' and you'll start to see why it's so broken.
What goes around comes around to these two. Lono has actually risen from the ashes and in my opinion is a far better man than he was before this happened. I started watching his streams and her streams after your original videos led me to the topic four years ago and all I can say is that after my own observations it’s not hard to see who is telling the truth out of the whole situation. Thanks for your content as always!
This now has all the vibes of "can we copy-strike PewDiePie?", but waaaaaaay darker.
Holy shit. I actually came back to this channel because I was wondering what happened to this story. Thanks for the update
Been following you since just before this whole Lono situation. Love your stuff. Revisiting all the videos in this series. As a Destiny player at the time this whole situation made me uncomfortable with the devs. Keep up the great work!!
It´s crazy how stuff sometimes fall into each other. Just a few days ago we have been discussing on different channel how that happened that Barret got sacked and Marathon got different director an all the shit happening in Bungie.
One word. Snaps. This will shed light on everything upper echelon neglected to mention here. I think a bit more digging should have been done but I also get that this video isn't about that case per se but a larger issue. Great video though as usual.
Oh, She Snapped, alright 😆
People don't care though, but imagine if it were datto or aztecross that they decided to ruin. Grubs
@@DaUsed1989 They tried with Aztecross a few years ago. They tried saying he broke NDAs when he said Bungie was constantly updating D2’s engine. They did that because he didn’t go with the crowd in regards to Lono and remained neutral. They knew better because they pretty much all deleted their tweets immediately after.

As soon as her husband got caught she left the internet. she could dish it out but the moment it could come back to her she up and leaves like a coward.
Bungie and the internet is better off without them. Especially since chris Barrett accused lono of the same actions he did himself.. hypocrisy must be common when you have a lot of money
Even if he wasn’t married nor dating. The bus woman should have just wore a laynard with her age & dating status. He would have LEFT!
The karma here is amazing. I always felt like lono got did SO dirty in that whole deal. Its one thing to get "cancelled" and have everyone hate you but what they did to that man went over the damn line if you ask me. Had no business banning him from D2. The fact that people were cool with all of it going down blows my damn mind. I wish lono would sue these fucks. Im no lawyer but after all thats gone down im sure he has a decent case and could get back some of what they took from him. He was BLOWING UP in the twitch / destiny / youtube world at that time. Sorry for the rant but i always had a ton of respect for lono. He gave me a second chance in his community after i was a prick when first finding his stream years ago. Hes a good dude just trying to survive like the rest of us out here. If you read my entire rant, sorry and thanks. 😂🍻🤘
@LadyBits2023 lol yea real powerful. Dumbass got fired and let's not forget who the real weirdo in this situation is. Mr "let me try and abuse the power I have at work and cheat on my wife" that's waaaay different then getting fucked up and being a little creepy. One of those actions is actually against the law and deserves jail time and the other does not. Now go have fun commenting on anyone else that says lono got wronged on your alt account, weirdo. I mean if your going to ballwash at least take ownership.
I've watched Lono for a while now, and he's said that suing would drain his bank. I believe there are other reasons too, but I'm sure finances are the main issue since he has a family to support. I wish he could sue them too, but him pushing forward through all of that was the best thing he could do. It really sucked seeing his downfall due to people in power spreading misinformation about him. I always loved his discussions on D2.
He's still doing good now and I enjoy seeing his talent implemented within gaming in general, but to me, he truly shined when it came to Destiny. I would have loved to hear his opinions and gameplay experiences on The Witch Queen, Lightfall and The Final Shape.

@Unapologeticweeb that's not comparable. You either are willfully ignorant or dangerously incompetent. Being able to afford things and the likes is one thing. Being able to afford a lawyer who will most likely need thousands and thousands each month is a vastly different ball game.
I think my biggest sympathy for Lono came from his attempts to correct this bad lifestyle he was living through therapy. Only for this entire thing to cause people to blow up at him as if he never changed and was hiding this in the closet to never be dealt with, the kind of shit Barrett was probably doing to stay safe.
Something about your efforts to better yourself being disregarded by everyone around you broke my heart to watch.
If people have to be infallibly perfect their entire lives or face public ostracisation, that's kinda screwed up imo. We're all flawed. He had his flaws, recognized it, learned from it, tried to remedy it, and probably would have tried to make proper amends with these people had they not shut him out and later stooped even lower to try and ruin his life.
I was never even a big fan of his. I think I disagreed with multiple Destiny takes, but those are just opinions. I draw the line at life ruining conspiracies however that could easily be settled privately and not the trashy court of public opinion known as Twitter.
the guy didn't sound creepy at all, he just sounded like he had really bad game and didnt read signals right (but a lot of women also put out misleading signals to fuck with people). sounds more like there was a group of people that dont like him for other reasons

As a (former) Halo fanatic, I'm quite proud of myself for how hard I dropped any and all support for Bungie. I can't remember the name of it, but in Destiny 1 the first DLC had more content for Playstation players (for the same price). That pissed me off immensely, telling the Xbox users who turned their company into a massive success that they deserve less than Playstation users. I dropped Destiny and all things Bungie cold turkey that day, and never looked back.
Finding out later what they did to Marty made it even easier.
And this saga is the cherry on top. What an awful company.

If you were a little out there, if you didn't have the same politics or ideology, they'd instantly focus in on you and use those allegations to justify alienating you - and it all grew out of this one moment when a couple of the top table of streamers who attended GCX decided they *didn't like someone* turned into a literal witch hunt.
