Less than a week after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:winning a $500,000 case against a harasser accused of threatening a Destiny 2 community manager, developer Bungie says its t𓆉eam can't spᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeak publicly because "devs who aren't even CMs are still being harassed."

Not for the first time, a player on the Destiny subreddit that Bungie make more regular use of the dev-backed account which w🔯as set up around eight months ago in order to share more insights with the community. 

"I'm not saying you should expose your employees to people who might actually harm them," the player reasoned, and you can aꦯlready hear the 'but' coming on here. "As someone who has been threatened (and actually almost attacked) at 𓆉the workplace, I completely understand where you guys are coming from. That said, it would be beneficial for everyone if you used the account more than you currently do." 

A respon🧔se from t🧔he official account explained the studio's stance on the issue and the relative quiet from the Team account. 

"Appreciate the🦹 feedback," the post begins, echoing countless CM posts before it. "Unfortunately, devs who aren’t even CMs are still being harassed just because they work at Bungie, so using the CM account on Reddit wil🐠l put a bigger target on all of the CM’s backs.

"I completely understand the want to go back to how w🎉e used to respond all the time here, but that time h𒈔as passed. Until everyone can feel safe again, I wouldn’t expect to see many responses from us here for the foreseeable future.

"However, just because we aren’t responding often doesn’t mean we aren’t stꦿill looking at feedback," the studio continues. "As a legend once said, 'we're listening,' and while we can’t always act on the feedback, we do share it with stakeholders every single week. So please, keep it coming. You may find us respondingꦗ more on our own Help forums, so please report any issues to us there."

A Redditor who's since been downvoted into the abyss argued that har⛦assment is "just part of life" even if "no one deserves it," and that "basing y𓂃our PR strategy on the actions of 0.1% worst actors is strange to me." 

Bungie shot back: "We don’t accept that being harassed is 'just part of life.' This kind of min🥀dset is unhealthy, and we aren’t going to put ourselves in danger for a video game, much less Reddit." 

Destiny 2's community, like many MMO, FPS, and indeed video game communities, has a long and colorful history of senselessly attacking developers. Bungie's efforts to make LGBT employees visible in developer diaries have been met with all☂ sorts of vitriol, for example, and lead developers have previously been by harassment over balance changes or Exotics. These bad actors represent a small portion of the community, but ev♔en if only a small portion of an audience hurls garbage at you every single time you come on stage, eventually you're gonna stop showing up. 

Bungie's handling of the harasser who now owes $500,000 was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:praised by other game developers, who hope to see it set a precedent for protecting employees from all-too-common abuse.
