As a long-time Destiny 2 player, I, along with many others, demand answers. Just over a week ago, players from the CIS region, specifically Belarus and Russia (though I’m unsure about other countries, need confirmation), were suddenly unable to access Destiny 2 at all. The persistent TAPIR error code would not let us pass the title screen, leaving many of us puzzled. Naturally, players took to the forums to report the issue, and the common reply from Bungie was that they were "investigating the issue." No official statement was made on social media, no mention was TWID updates, and there were no notes in any patch releases. Then, today (September 24th), after a week of silence, Bungie confirmed the restriction was intentional, stating in the forum replies: "Destiny services are not available where access is restricted by law." I find myself wondering: What law are they referring to? What kind of a universal law makes Destiny 2 servers inaccessible across countries like Belarus, Russia, and potentially others? And why did it happen so suddenly, without warning or clear communication? The lack of transparency here is bewildering. If this decision was planned all along, why not just tell us upfront? This situation seems to mirror the actions taken back in March 2022, when Bungie suspended the sale of D2 products (DLCs, Silver, etc.) in Russia. the reasoning actually made sense: if they continued the sales, they'd have to pay taxes to the Russian government, contributing indirectly to the still ongoing hearbreaking conflict. They provided us with a clear statement. But now, it's different. Instead of a simple suspension, an entire player base seems to have been wiped out of the game, with no explanation. No heads-up. Just an abrupt and sweeping ban. As a Destiny 2 veteran, I’ve spent years creating memories and investing time into this game. Even met a few absolutely wonderful people. To have that taken away without proper communication feels like a slap in the face. I know the situation is complicated, but transparency and honesty go a long way. If Bungie planned this, they should have been clear about it from the start. We deserve to know what's going on. Maybe this is actually it and this is my time to move on. That was a wild ride for sure. edit: Destiny 1 is still available, by the way. Makes me think the "law restriction" reasoning is a pathetic excuse. SHAME.
