Lol but they did say users would be banned for using any sort of overlay which was the case during the beta

freshslicepizza3127d ago

There's two sides to every story. There will be errors on Bungie's part and there will be losers within the PC community who try and push the envelop and want to do things they know are questionable.

TankCrossing3127d ago

Permaban certainly seems excessive. Why not just block gameplay until said overlay is disabled? They've caught a lot of innocent people out unawares, and considering those people paid for the game it isn't acceptable to deny them access to it without a full refund.

Gwiz3127d ago

The only third-party overlay i'm going to use with this game is Geforce Experience.
If they're banning me while using that then Bungie can kiss my !@#$

Did you read the article? They might lol, I am glad I avoided this one it seems like they are banning you for using almost any software.

Gwiz3127d ago

Now I did,this is dumb though.it's an Nvidia executable.

Mkai283127d ago

What? MSI Afterburner, so ppl cant overclock their cards while playing this game?

kevnb3126d ago

People being banned are probably lying.

rezzah3126d ago

Bungie lied.

Update: Bungie has released a statement that admits Destiny 2 players on PC had been mistakenly banned. Those bans have now been overturned. The admission was added to an earlier statement that flatly denied this was the case, and said that 400 players had been banned for "using tools that pose a threat to the shared ecosystem of the game".

Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore

S2Killinit100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.

isarai_lee100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.

S2Killinit100d ago

Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?

isarai_lee100d ago

@Redemption-64

You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.

It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.

ABizzel1101d ago

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.

Christopher101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.

isarai_lee100d ago

I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

Bet they're regrettings spending those billions pretty hard right now.

S2Killinit100d ago

Destiny has been a huge success.

Redemption-64100d ago

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
