A few days ago, a Bungie developer was playing Destiny 2 live, when his Steam username popped up. Anyway, the purpose of the Twitch stream was to introduce the upcoming free Into The Light update, which will be released on April 9.

Many players seem to be happy with this reaction and ban. So goes anyone who thinks it's okay to send offensive comments to a developer. They have now been permanently banned, and all progress has been lost. By the way, this isn't the first time Bungie developers have faced a toxic community. Back in July 2023, Bungie won a lawsuit against a Destiny 2 player accused of sending numerous threats and racial slurs to a social media contributor. Due to incidents like this, the Destiny 2 team no longer talks to fans, and only allows comments on the website.
Of course, it is possible to argue that the decision of Bungie developers is justified or not, but it certainly may deter those who want to do something similar in the future. It will be interesting to see how this kind of response affects the attitude of other development teams. Do you think the final ban was justified?
