The bug was discovered when this happened to a Japanese localizer at the end of the game's development. Bungie decided to stop production on the game, tear open the game boxes on the assembly line, and replace the game discs. This cost the company approximately $800,000, a difficult financial blow for a small game studio, and was a key factor in deciding to sell Bungie to another company. | The bug was discovered when this happened to a Japanese localizer at the end of the game's development.

If you'd like to experience the hard drive deleting bug for yourself (presumably inside a VM), you can find a v1.0 copy of the game [https://archive.org/details/myth-2_202504 here]. | |||
