Bungie Officially Responds To Destiny 2 Player Bans
Destiny 2 is officially out for PC, and it’s great. The same cannot be said for some players though, who have reported receiving bans from the game for no reason. Its never for no reason of course, and many are pointing out third party app usage as the cause. Remember, most games like these will have third party apps that enhances gameplay. Therefore, naturally some players will check them out.
After 24 hours of silence, Bungie now have a statement to clarify what’s going on with the player bans.
We have seen lots of questions about bans being issued in the PC version of Destiny 2. To provide some information, we would like to share some facts.
“The following is true:
- Destiny 2 cannot automatically ban you, only Bungie can ban a player after a manual investigation
- Yesterday, we banned approximately 400 players on PC
- Bans were applied to players who were using tools that pose a threat to the shared ecosystem of the game
- We did not (and will not) issue any bans for the use of overlays or performance tools, including Discord, Xsplit, OBS, RTSS, etc.
- Information on using third-party applications can be found here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101
- We are overturning 4 of the bans that were issued during the PC Beta
We are committed to providing an experience that is fun and fair for the millions of players who have joined us in this community.”
Moral of the story is, make sure what you’re using isn’t against a game’s Terms of Service.
