One of Bungie’s co-founders, and composer of Halo’s and Destiny’s themes, has won his case against his former employers. A previous settlement from Bungie and president Harold Ryan awarded O’Donnell $95,000 for unpaid work, vacation time, and legal fees.

O’Donnell, based on past reports, was purportedly dismissed from the Bungie without explanation, which then shocked the fans as well as the composer. A court-appointed arbitrator ruled this week that Bungie violated its contract with O’Donnell when it fired him “without cause” and made him give up his company stock and drop out of Bungie’s profit-sharing plan.

“I’m happy this is over, and I’m ready to move on”, O’Donnell said in an interview.

O’Donnell will be awarded at least $142,500 through the first payment of the profit participation program. O’Donnell tweeted during E3 that year that Activision provided the music, not him, and allegedly threatened other Bungie employees to keep the trailer from being posted online. As part of the terms, apparently unless O’Donnell gets permission he can’t publish any music from Destiny as his own without Bungie’s blessing. Since then though, he has started a new developer called Highwire Games, so hopefully, we hear more from him before too long.

Airtight Games was the studio behind the success of Quantum Conundrum and Murdered: Soul Suspect. O’Donnell had recorded an original suite of music with former Beatle Paul McCartney, with the intention of using it throughout Destiny.

According to court papers, Activision did not want to release it as standalone work as well as during the preparation for the E3 2013. He didn’t take that well and believed the publisher overstepped its role by assuming artistic control. He even interrupted press briefings.
