Sony, Bungie settle with ex-Marathon director they accused of "predatory behaviour", bringing $200m wrongful dismissal lawsuit to a close
Sony and Bungie have settled a $200 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by former Marathon game director Christopher Barrett. Barrett alleged the companies falsely insinuated he engaged in sexual misconduct to destroy his reputation and avoid paying him nearly $50 million. The settlement brings an end to the legal proceedings, with Barrett's name being added to Marathon's credits. This news follows recent significant layoffs at Bungie.
