There is actually a lot more to it than the usual "you play too much" story. She is against Destiny because it goes against her religions beliefs. It's more video games in general than it is Destiny. Facebook stuff like Farmville is okay, but Destiny is "one of those violent games".
I am a moderate agnostic, so I really don't care about others religious views. Also when I am around religious families I have no qualms about participating in prayers, songs, or whatever because these are typically fun and/or good natured, and there is no reason for me to make a scene. (I really dislike those people that don't believe in religions and take every opportunity to "inform" those people that do)
Anyway, for some reason I have been unable to comprehend, my girlfriend has decided to take a stance against Destiny. Her family has even called me and asked me to throw the game away.
I took a few days to carefully think about how I wanted to respond, and I have decided not to stop playing Destiny (despite its crappy RNG loot system, lol). The main reason why is that I just can't, in the long term, have a relationship with someone that would make an ultimatum against a socially acceptable hobby.
I thought that this may be interesting to people, so I decided to make a legit AMA post. If no one replies, that's okay.

Ditch her dog. Shes gonna be a crazy over controlling bitch if you let her stay.

Weird. What religion does she follow (so I can avoid it like the plague)? Doesn't sound like any religion I know... Wicca?

Choosing a video game over RL is stupid, but given your story I'd have to agree with breaking up. If you fold on this, she will own you.

You give into this you will have to keep letting her place ultimatums on what you enjoy. Compromise not ultimatums make a healthy relationship and that's is just stupid.

2 AntwortenAny woman who gives you an ultimatum over anything you do isn't worth your time. Those "_______ or me." Are really full of themselves.

i bet she also refuses sex before marriage then , get rid of her :D

If it comes to the point that family-members start calling you because you need to throw it away, it's time to gtfo of that relationship if she/they don't chance their mind. That is pretty disturbing, tbh. Imo, this is what can be wrong with religion.

2 AntwortenHow does this game and religion have anything to do with eachother.... I just... Is she stupid..? It's a video game, who gives a shit. Dumb this crazy bitch and find someone who doesn't care. If you were to cave and stop playing destiny for this girl then you'd pretty much be giving her your manlyhood & the right to dictate/boss you around which is wrong. Man up, tell her it's a video game and in no way impacts real life or religion and you refuse to stop playing it and if she doesn't like that then to leave.

It's just a game, but with that being said, these kind of things will continue throughout your relationship. Marriage wont make it better, it would get worse. If your hobby is an important part of your life, then find someone whom accepts it. Love is supposed to be unconditional. There are plenty of people that would accept your hobby. Chances are if your current girl doesn't like your hobby, she never will, especially if it's a religious belief.
