Destiny studio Bungie says it’s reduced communication with players due to ‘real threats’ towards staff.
has stated that it’s reduced the amount of communication it has with its player base due to harassment and threats.noting that Bungie was responding to users far less frequently, one user replied: “That’s what happens when developers receive harassment and death threats over a video game.”
“Here’s the thing, the harassment we’ve spoken to isn’t just rude replies on twitter or vague comments,” Dmg04 wrote. “There have been real threats towards our people and our studio.”They added: “We’re taking them seriously, which is leading to an amount of reduced communications as the team plans future protections / strategies to help avoid these sorts of things.
Noting that this did have an impact on the decent players who were now lacking the ability to communicate with developers, they added: “None of [this] is meant to be a punishment to the people who can leave clear and respectful feedback for our developers, mind you. “Can take weeks, can take months – just like any given development pipeline, as we want what’s best for our players and our employees. That said, we can’t just move about ‘business as usual’ until things are resolved. It sucks, but we want to be sure that folks are safe and taken care of.
