Today, Bungie’s Board of Directors announced that it has appointed Pete Parsons to the role of Chief Executive Officer, and that Harold Ryan will be stepping down from his position as studio President. As CEO, Parsons will be tasked with leading the talented Bungie team as they continue to develop great Destiny experiences. Here are a few words from Pete:

I want to personally thank Harold for his friendship, passion, hard work, and dedication in helping make Bungie the great company it is today. As a team, we celebrated many victories and weathered many storms.

To the players of Destiny, I want you to know that my number one priority, and Bungie’s, is and always has been to deliver great games that we can all share together. I believe that Destiny is a one-of-a-kind experience. I also believe you have yet to see our studio’s best work. My new role here at the studio will be entirely focused on fulfilling that promise.

This is yet another new beginning, and a new challenge for our studio. We remain committed to creating great experiences in Destiny.

Considering the current state of the game regarding it's future content, it almost makes me think of rats leaving a ($10 million) sinking ship........

Pete Parsons (a.k.a. Mango) was the Studio Manager at Bungie 2002 - 2006, as well as the executive producer of Halo 2. Essentially, his job is to supervise the team and making sure that their job is smooth and nothing will happen to hinder them in the production of the Halo game.

Parsons, 38, left a senior marketing job at Microsoft to join the Halo crew as studio manager. He once said: "I'd been aBungie fan for a long time. They're an incredibly talented group of people who don't accept second best. I like the bar being set so high that falling off would kill you."

He is currently working on a non-Halo project within Microsoft alongside Jeremiah, a.k.a. Ninja 0n Fire.
