The toxicity towards Bungie has gotten egregious

This is going to be down voted to literal hell but I have to say it. While Bungie has made mistakes in the past the few devs left trying to deliver don't deserve the constant harassment this community gives.

During the live stream the chat was abhorrent, 99% negativity for a FREE content update. I know there are many that have the mindset of "They deserve it" but the devs your directly attacking in stream don't deserve it.

They aren't the people making decisions on the monetization and they aren't the ones that decide laid off workers. They are doing everything they can to make the game enjoyable for us. They are giving us a mode we've been asking for years for free and all you can do is complain, show a little appreciation because as bad as the state of the current game is it could be worst.

Its time for some of y'all to grow up, this is a video game if your mad you didn't get your money's worth then leave and you can't leave because your "addicted" then go get some help.

Edit: For reference I'm specifically upset about the toxic chat on Twitch and what happened during the stream

It's baffling how the poor dev got bombarded with outright disturbing messages on steam after he accidentally tabbed out. The guy seemed like a cool dude and he was visibly bothered when those friend requests started coming in from people naming themselves the literal N word, "kys" spelled out, and a reference to sexual assault.

OP isn't talking about burned out players voicing criticism, that's okay. OP is talking about the kind of person who changes their steam name to "KILL ALL N*****" and sends a friend request to a black game dev in front of thousands of people. It's disgraceful and those people should be eviscerated for it.

Edit: apparently I got the username of the troll wrong. I fixed my comment but the actual name is somehow worse.

It was disappointing to see those notifications, but we know they were from a few awful individuals and not reflective of the community at large.

We were able to track down the accounts of several individuals who sent the harmful notifications and we have banned them from Destiny 2.

We are taking extra measures to make sure this doesn't happen again and look forward to sharing more info with you all in next week's stream.
