Bungie recently won a lawsuit against a gamer who was sending an employee death threats.

    Harassment is a fairly broad term I guess.

    Some people would view repeated criticism over a single issue as harassment, others wouldn’t view it as harassment until it has “crossed a line”.

      Criticism is when you say what is wrong with something, and how to possibly improve it. Obviously, you don’t need to repeat it 500 million times.

      Real harassment is when one literally sends death threats. That’s not ok at all. It’s a game, go touch grass is what I’m saying.

      As for the rest of you who don’t send death threats, your all good people and I wish you a happy day:)

        When someone doesn’t listen to feedback or worse, derides them for even providing it people tend to get upset.

        I have not condoned death threats, other threats of violence or harm and don’t intend to.

        I don’t even play Destiny (1 or 2).

        I’m just voicing my opinion that there’s a pattern between devs who believe community criticism is beneath them and people working themselves into a frenzy.
