Leave politics out of the game

I along with many others don’t come to Destiny 2 to have different political views be the first thing I see when I open up this app. The whole point of a videogame is to be an escape from the real world. Besides, there’s actual issues in your game that need to be fixed. Leave the political opinions and views at the door please Bungie.

  • Thank you Seyuoh, I was looking for a method to contact Bungie regarding this exact issue. It's indeed a fundamental policy issue. Can Bungie please clarify their exact policy statement on politics. I have a school friend who's girlfriend was killed in 2017 in a village near Donetsk. It's a somewhat emotional & mental health issue. All I want is PEACE. Furthermore, I live in Africa. When did Bungie do a Tigray emblem ? (a vastly bigger death tally) To me it's a very slippery slope. Glory to Peace trumps Glory to Ukraine in my book. That's my opinion. That's my right and I don't enjoy playing this game when I see the Ukraine solidarity emblems. I feel that, and that's how it is - a mental health issue. I stand with a political option that's BEST for peace. I'm not going to tell you about it here BECAUSE ... gaming isn't a POLITICAL FORUM. I game to escape those nasty realities. I find it mindboggling that Bungie denigrate my rights and blur this "a-political" line or policy. I see people making the "humanitarian" counter-argument against the political one I outline ? I am totally committed to peace as a humanist - it thus becomes a greater issue of cognitive dissonance because my opinion about peace and the most robust peace is thrown in my face by Bungie making an emblem which doesn't triumph Glory to Peace but instead chooses Glory to Ukraine ? I am therefore appealing to Bungie to review this emblem issue and to escalate it to your highest management for fair resolution. Please contact me if you have any questions and I hope you'll understand that I am solely operating from a place of PEACE and humanism. Failing action by Bungie on this emblem removal and clarification of an "a-political" policy in gaming I will be taking this matter further to whatever forums, media and bodies that exist nationally and international to ensure your policy on Tigray is congruent with your policy choice on Ukraine or XYZ in future. I hope you understand. Kindest and greatest love & PEACE.

                My 2 cents: I come to the Bungie site news tab for the TWABs, not to view whatever Bungie's opinions are (though, I say they can still have those opinions). They can have their public statements about this stuff but, it should be a "side note" or something that isn't plastered as one of the first things I see on the news tab to get the TWAB (what I mean is if someone asks, then give the PR statement (whichever side it takes) and if no one asks, better to avoid angering potential customers since Bungie's first priority is money as they're admittedly a company that is supposed to make money). Otherwise, I don't care what Bungie has to say about it and I wish to avoid further discussion on it because I'd prefer *not* to anger people.

              • Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

              • There’s already a trans or blm emblem, a Ukraine emblem isn’t that much of a shock, specially with people actually asking for one this time

                To All who are Unhappy with the Restrictions against Russia players of Destiny 2…. It’s called Uninstall There are others to play! If told Tomorrow I couldn’t play Destiny ever again, I would be bummed for sure 😀 But it’s fortunate that I’m too far Shallow to stay bummed for too long. And I could find something else to play. It’s not like People in Russia can’t play… that I think would be a bit much. All I’m really hoping for is that in all of this someone finally decides to Overthrow pooutin The People of Russia deserve Better…. But so does Ukraine…. Destroy Ukrainian troops all you want.. but once they start killing innocent women children and babies… people are going to start taking more notice.

                      • Some things are bigger than games. If we step back and think about it, almost all things are bigger and more important than a video game.

                      • In general I have to 100% agree with you. If however you are talking about the situation in the Ukraine. I not only praise Bungie but heck I even asked them to do what they are doing. Yes, I too play Destiny as a stress release escaping from the real world and that is the ONLY reason, well I do LOVE the graphics being a VFX-CG guy myself. But if the game is about freedom, liberty, justice ect for Humanity and you don't make a real world stand for that then you are just as evil as the evil they create in-game (regardless of how cool Rhulk actually is!)
