Bungie Addresses The Massive PC Banning On Destiny 2

This morning, Bungie addressed the issues fans have had with banning happening on the PC version of Destiny 2 with a proper response on their blog. The short version: they stand by the idea that they have not banned people for using broadcasting or chat equipment, and that the banning was done so because programs designed to hack or cheat the game were detected in use. They have, however, posted an update indicating that several banned players have had their bans overturned. The reason for this is not stated. We'll keep an eye on this one and see how it develops.

We have seen lots of questions about bans being issued in the PC version of Destiny 2. To provide some information, we would like to share some facts.

The following is true:

• Destiny 2 cannot automatically ban you, only Bungie can ban a player after a manual investigation
• Yesterday, we banned approximately 400 players on PC
• Bans were applied to players who were using tools that pose a threat to the shared ecosystem of the game
• We did not (and will not) issue any bans for the use of overlays or performance tools, including Discord, Xsplit, OBS, RTSS, etc.
• Information on using third-party applications can be found here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46101 
• We are overturning 4 of the bans that were issued during the PC Beta

We are committed to providing an experience that is fun and fair for the millions of players who have joined us in this community.

Update: As part of our ban review process, we have identified a group of players who were banned in error. Those players have been unbanned. The bans were not related to the third-party applications listed above. We will continue to review the process we use to ensure a fun and fair game.
