Considering this is the site of the world's best known video game company, I'd say the latter, K Mart.
You need l33t skoolingz to get into the video game industry. Especially as high-end as Bungie. Multiple university degrees and whatnot.
Well, I think that within the video game industry, you have to be able to put your money where your mouth is. I imagine that a company would much rather hire a non-formally educated, but highly respected, member of the mod community (mod like Counter-Strike, not like cheating) than someone with all kinds of degrees that can't actually do anything. Then again, it depends on they job. Designers, for example, are expected to be able to communicate very effectively. Everyone is expected to be very thorough.
If you're interested in getting into the industry, you may want to start out as a tester. If you can write bugs up well and communicate effectively, you may be able to work your way up to producer.
Long story short, read some of the articles over at Sloperama. They can point you in the right direction.
