Business culture

"giving them creative freedom"I feel like the difference between Microsoft and Amazon/Google is Microsoft seems to have outgrown its ego, while the others still need to be fully in control.

I would say that the likelihood is extremely low.
Bungie’s founders are definitely not your typical frat-boy types. Alex Seropian did time at Disney, and Jason Jones has always seemed like a pretty ‘liberal’ guy (very creative focused, not technical focused.)
Most of the complaints about management and Bungie on Glassdoor are about extremely outdated tools and “I wanna work on something different” burnout (Destiny is basically their everything.) And CEO Pete Parson, well, uh. Let me quote his current Twitter profile:
“dad, ceo bungie & bungie foundation. arcstrider main. be brave, be kind. fuck racism and social injustice. per audacia ad astra. XB: P2, PS/Steam: bngpparsons” - @pparsons (pete parsons)
Yeah.
Bungie also donated all their profits from the LGBTQIA+ pins to It Gets Better. They’ve continuously ignored the fragile white males bitching about “eww, gays” and “TOO MANY WOMEN” and “Y U NO GIVE US SPECIAL THINGS, WE R SUPPRESSD!” And they have more women in senior roles than the average - by a lot. They have a better split period across the board.
It’s clearly a very different culture. Their CTO is Luis Villegas. Their CFO is Danielle Porter. The board of directors includes Trace Harris and Pamela Kaufman. Multiple Design Lead and Senior Producer positions? Women.
Most of the Bungie drama is bullshit manufactured by - you guessed it! - fragile entitled white guys. The latest is a fragile white 
guy streamer who got banned for using an exploit. How dare they?!-- Spamfeller Loves NazisShabaab Kamal
