Bungie har meldt ud, at de fremover vil respondere mindre på henvendelser gennem sociale medier. Det skyldes ifølge udvikleren, der nu hører under PlayStation Studios, at flere medarbejdere har modtaget trusler og chikanerende beskeder.
På Reddit fortæller en community manager, der går under brugernavnet dmg04, at chikanen ikke blot drejer sig om sure kommentarer, men "reelle trusler" mod studiets ansatte:
"None of it is meant to be a punishment to the people who can leave clear and respectful feedback for our developers. There are no instances at Bungie where people actively look at a conversation and plan retaliatory actions towards our player base via hotfixes, updates, or comms strategies.
Sometimes, we just need to take some time to get things straightened out. Can take weeks, can take months - just like any given development pipeline, as we want what's best for our players AND our employees. That said, we can't just move about 'business as usual' until things are resolved. It sucks, but we want to be sure that folks are safe and taken care of."
