Barrett slammed Bungie's investigation, denying that he committed a fireable offense and accused Sony of letting him go in order to deny him more than $45 million that Barrett was to be paid as a result of Bungie's 2022 purchase of Bungie. No, to be paid as part of Sony's purchase of Bungie. I felt like I screwed up my head. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Sony's new 128-page filing, technically an answer to Barrett's lawsuit, is largely a line-by-line response to December's claim. It was entered into the docket by the Delaware State Court of Chancery last week and was reviewed by GameFile. The new filing begins what is essentially a preview of Sony's pending motion to dismiss six of the seven counts in Barrett's lawsuit.

The document states that in Sony's view, Barrett was terminated last March following HR complaints and investigation that allegedly revealed a pattern of behavior in which Barrett supposedly, quote, targeted a lower-level female employee he wasn't working with directly, initially engaged in friendly conversation, and progressively pushed boundaries with the employee by making subtle references to her physical appearance or expressing his interest in her romantically.

Barrett attempted to create an unprofessional level of intimacy with his victims, end quote. To support this, Sony's filings include excerpts of nine written communications, texts, DMs, etc., including the following. Barrett similarly told Victim 3, quote, I hope your boyfriend doesn't mind I text you a lot. And I just worry. Like, I really enjoy texting you and talking.

I don't want him to get the right idea. I don't want him to get the right idea. Later in the conversation, when Victim 3 told Barrett she was busy, Barrett stated, quote, I want your attention. So annoying, end quote. And then there's a lot more going on here, right? Or is this? No, this is actually Steven's writing. I'm sorry. And then he goes and dot dot.

Just three weeks into victim five tenure at Bungie, Barrett called her late in the evening while drunk and told her intimate details about his personal life and asked her about who she was dating and what her quote unquote type was. He sent her a personal Instagram follow request to connect that night, which she did not accept.

Barrett's side is calling foul on the filing, saying the texts are incomplete and don't amount to a fireable offense. In a statement to Game File, Barrett's lawyers blasted Sony's account in full.

Quote, quote, Sony continues to disingenuously cherry pick text messages and alleged conversations and make unsupported and conclusionary statements to defame Christopher and justify terminating him to avoid paying him what he was owed on his employment agreements.

It is telling that Sony does not include the full text messages as exhibits or the full context, no content of these conversations and nothing in Sony's response provides a legitimate legal or factual basis to terminate Christopher's cause.
