    Bungie bust stealing a variety of assets and passing them off as their own.

    Try multiple strategies to con users into thinking this was a mistake/intern etc until users identify the senior design team as the culprits.

    Embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars while claiming they spent it on making a game. Take a classic Mac IP ripe for a remake, strip it of everything that made it a classic, shoe horn it into a live service model for profiteering, fail on all fronts to build something a one man operation couldn't turn out, and, despite hundreds of millions "invested" still can't produce even a mediocre game.

    At this stage all triple A gaming is just a laundry for the bankers.

    Industry dead.
