Bungie recently won a lawsuit against a gamer who was sending an employee death threats.
Coincidentally right when they are probably at peak criticism for their game.
You’re not wrong but also people shouldn’t be harassing employees for shit that is likely out of their control.
Why did you see “don’t harass employees” as “don’t offer criticism”? You can pretty easily say “I don’t like X about this game,” or “change Y seems like a step in the wrong direction” without harassing anyone.
Criticism is when you say what is wrong with something, and how to possibly improve it. Obviously, you don't need to repeat it 500 million times.
Real harassment is when one literally sends death threats. That's not ok at all. It's a game, go touch grass is what I'm saying.
As for the rest of you who don't send death threats, your all good people and I wish you a happy day:)
But you did condone harassment.
Article says they've been cutting back on these comments since last year, so well before Lightfall dropped.
A very close friend of mine works as a community facing employee for a large game company and as part of their job they have to make decisions that will inevitably make people angry. They've been very concerned lately about getting doxxed and harassed. Folks online often forget the human on the other side.
He has thicker skin than I and I hope for the best for him. I don't think there's an amount of money you could pay me to be a CM for a game company.
Yeah, I love gamers, I love games, but for whatever reason the bad eggs of the bunch are super bad eggs.
Game is fucking trash now
And Bungie deserves to be trashed on. Just leave out everything illegal and personal.
It always was
How so?
Seasons were great at the beginning, then they slowly yet surely added in more ways the player had to pay to gain access to content. Those dungeons that came free with the seasons? Now you gotta pay for them. All that content you paid $40 for years ago? Gone, but now came back and reskinned so you have to pay for it again. The micro transaction hellscape that is destiny 2 has gone way too far.
People blindly pay for this shit and I can’t believe they still do. Wool over their eyes and a company stealing right out of your pocket.
Stop harassing us
what happended?
I pity anyone who thinks of gamer as an identity
My father... was a gamer
And his father before him and his father before him. Hell, my whole damn family is gamers. No one can mess with us, we just level up 😤.
GAMERS.
Sure but usually there is at least SOME inciting moment, as dumb as it may be?
They offended GAMERS of all people.

Harassing people with death threats and other violence is never okay. Not happy with the game? Don’t play it.
