Destiny 2 players demand Bungie stop using Twitter for announcements BungieDestiny 2 players have called out Bungie for using Twitter as its main place to post game status notifications and announcements questioning why the publisher doesn\u2019t use its own website instead. As expected of any long-term live service game, Bungie\u2019s looter shooter has had a history of technical issues. From server outages to game-breaking bugs, Destiny isn\u2019t short on unwanted surprises. When these bugs become particularly problematic or Bungie feels the need to address players directly it uses Twitter, or X as it\u2019s now branded. These posts on the Bungie Help X account often contain vital information and while the communication is appreciated not all Destiny 2 players are convinced it\u2019s the best platform for the job. Destiny 2 players don\u2019t rate Bungie\u2019s reliance on Twitter An upset Destiny 2 player has complained about Bungie\u2019s use of Twitter: \u201cUsing X for game status notifications is stupid. Use your own site for god sake!\u201d \u201cIf you don\u2019t have the X app, the feed shown is unsorted so it is useless. I refuse to download such an app. USE YOUR OWN DAMN SITE,\u201d the highly upvoted Reddit post demanded. One sarcastic reply read: \u201cImagine if they had their own website and could choose to integrate whether servers are up or down and update us on their status. They could call it like Bungie.net or something, idk if they\u2019ll go for it though.\u201d \u201cTo add, maybe have a \u2018News\u2019 section in the game and\/or at the title screen so people can see comms without having to go to a website,\u201d another player proposed offering a way to potentially improve Bungie\u2019s communication. Not everyone fully agreed with one Guardian explaining why Bungie likely uses X: \u201cTwitter reaches more of their audience than [Bungie.net]. Hell, [Reddit] is a better platform than their site lol. That being said, diversifying and adding MORE (without removing any) places where the info is available is always a good thing.\u201d With Elon Musk\u2019s declaration that X could soon cost money to use, Twitter may become a less desirable location for developers like Bungie to announce news. If so then Bungie.net seems a natural place to move those notifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
