Coincidentally right when they are probably at peak criticism for their game.

You’re not wrong but also people shouldn’t be harassing employees for shit that is likely out of their control.

Article says they've been cutting back on these comments since last year, so well before Lightfall dropped.

A very close friend of mine works as a community facing employee for a large game company and as part of their job they have to make decisions that will inevitably make people angry. They've been very concerned lately about getting doxxed and harassed. Folks online often forget the human on the other side.

He has thicker skin than I and I hope for the best for him. I don't think there's an amount of money you could pay me to be a CM for a game company.

Yeah, I love gamers, I love games, but for whatever reason the bad eggs of the bunch are super bad eggs.

And Bungie deserves to be trashed on. Just leave out everything illegal and personal.

Seasons were great at the beginning, then they slowly yet surely added in more ways the player had to pay to gain access to content. Those dungeons that came free with the seasons? Now you gotta pay for them. All that content you paid $40 for years ago? Gone, but now came back and reskinned so you have to pay for it again. The micro transaction hellscape that is destiny 2 has gone way too far.

People blindly pay for this shit and I can’t believe they still do. Wool over their eyes and a company stealing right out of your pocket.
