Bungie proves toxic social media behavior can bring barriers between video game developers and players

sportskeeda.com:

Over the years, Bungie has faced the ire of many players who have been dissatisfied with Destiny 2. As good as the game is, there will always be someone who will be disappointed with the available quality.

While complaints are justified, the way some users have expressed themselves has resulted in a communication breakdown between the developers and the game's player base.

Bungie is well-known in the market primarily for Destiny 2, although it also gave birth to the Halo series. Destiny 2 is played by millions worldwide as the popular looter shooter has become more significant than ever. Given such a vast player base, there will always be a percentage who might not be happy with what's on offer.

These users, unfortunately, cross the limits when it comes to expressing their feelings. While some will think that their grievances are justified, it has resulted in the developers going on a backburner regarding communication.

In a recent incident, one Destiny 2 player expressed how they would want more communication from Bungie's end. This is expected, given how large-scale and widespread the game has become. Several events are taking place in-game, and the player believes prior communication about them and other general changes can be pretty helpful.

However, the game's community manager explained why Bungie has done what they have done. The manager replied that the harassment they have faced doesn't amount to just harsh words.

The manager also announced how they had faced harassment and were supported by Bungie.

It was then clarified that the decision taken by Bungie wasn't in any retaliation or punishment for the community.

It's clearly visible that the decision that the makers of Destiny 2 have taken isn't retaliation in any form.
