I was a guardian, until I read this article: [url]https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-report-battle-soul-work-culture-harassment-crunch [/url]
[quote] Several employees also witnessed discrimination against transgender individuals at the studio, including questions about which bathrooms they were using, refusal to use correct pronouns, and other inappropriate questions.

[quote] a few female narrative team members being singled out by the community for harassment, death threats, and vitriol. Our sources say these women didn't receive support inside the studio or from the community team for what they were going through, and multiple sources were aware of one member of leadership still at the studio who emailed Reddit comments about these women to other company leaders in a seeming bid to tear down the narrative team because players didn't like the story.
It wasn't until multiple writers quit or threatened to quit all at once — including every woman on the narrative team — that Bungie finally dismissed the leads responsible[/quote]
[quote] One source told a story of him yelling at her over the phone so aggressively that she was brought to tears, and she subsequently refused to be on phone calls with him without a third party present.
On another occasion, he separated and cornered an employee who stood up to him to yell at them.[/quote]
What if this was your wife, or daughter?
Im literally shaking because Im feeling so many emotions right now. I started playing when the pandemic hit back in March 2019. I bought the LGBT pin, I was proud to share with my fireteam the LGBT+ lore like Devrim and his partner marc. but this whole time, I was enabling a systematic oppression of people in my own community by funding this. I fell in love with Destiny 2 and this feels like that moment when your partner finally physically strikes you and you have to draw a line....I have to delete this game and if I see RADICAL change within the next few months, maybe I'll come back. I've literally never been in this situation before. It feels very morbid, but I'm not logging in to this game again and make someone suffer so I can play a space pirate.
Goodbye Bungie, shame on you.
