Destiny 2 players condemn \u201cabhorrent\u201d dev abuse during Into The Light reveal BungieDestiny 2 players have spoken out and condemned members of the community who were verbally abusive towards Bungie developers branding their actions as \u201cabhorrent.\u201d On March 19, Bungie hosted a developer stream revealing new information about the upcoming update, Into The Light. This included a breakdown of the exciting new game mode coming in April, Onslaught. However, the stream was overshadowed by the extreme levels of toxicity on display with players sending abusive messages to the developers. This included slurs, death threats, and DMs targeted at one of the developer\u2019s accounts. Following the stream, the community rallied against those sending these messages. One such player posted on X\/Twitter, \u201cYeah, I\u2019m going to call this out. This behavior towards a dev in the middle of a live stream is disgusting,\u201d before questioning, \u201cHow awful a person are you to do this to a Bungie dev for simply showcasing upcoming content they\u2019re excited to give you for free?\u201d This was followed up by a Reddit post stating, \u201cThe toxicity towards Bungie has gotten egregious,\u201d with OP going on to insist that, \u201cWhile Bungie has made mistakes in the past the few devs left trying to deliver don\u2019t deserve the constant harassment this community gives.\u201d The same post went on to slam those sending abusive messages: \u201cDuring the live stream the chat was abhorrent, 99% negativity for a FREE content update. I know there are many that have the mindset of \u2018They deserve it\u2019 but the devs your directly attacking in stream don\u2019t deserve it.\u201d Others responding to the Reddit thread agreed with one player responding, \u201cNot gonna lie, I caught the livestream late due to work and was only able to catch like the last 10-15 minutes and man, this community is toxic to the next level.\u201d Another like-minded Guardian commented, \u201cIt\u2019s baffling how the poor dev got bombarded with outright disturbing messages on steam after he accidentally tabbed out. The guy seemed like a cool dude and he was visibly bothered when those friend requests started coming in from people naming themselves the literal N word, \u2018kys\u2019 spelled out, and a reference to sexual assault.\u201d These negative comments follow several controversial decisions from Bungie including delaying The Final Shape expansion and its large-scale lay-offs. Even so, these remarks should not be tolerated and the community has made it clear they do not stand with those encouraging such behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
