Ex-Bungie Director Sues Sony for $200M Over Alleged Unlawful Firing

Chris Barrett, a former game developer at Bungie, has filed a lawsuit against Sony and Bungie, alleging he was wrongfully terminated to avoid a $45 million payout. Barrett claims his firing was part of a scheme to deflect attention from Sony's acquisition struggles and Bungie's internal misconduct issues. The lawsuit accuses the companies of falsely implicating him in sexual misconduct allegations without evidence, damaging his reputation and career. Barrett's firing followed a supposed investigation during his mental health leave, which he argues was unjust and unfounded.
