News:: Bungie dev says third-party software being the cause of Destiny 2 bans is "Internet BS"

Bungie's space odyssey Destiny 2 launched this week on PC and was hit with an instantaneous controversy. Many players are reporting that they are already banned from the sci-fi shooter as they were using third-party applications such as Discord, OBS and Fraps whilst playing.

Reddit was filled with claims from players stating that they had been unable to play the game, with some saying that they believe their ban hit due to them having overlays from third-party applications, such as streaming or chat software, open at the time.

However, a blunt statement on Twitter from Destiny 2's project lead, David Shaw called the idea that the company bans its players for using third-party software "Internet BS", saying that Bungie "do block programs from pushing their code into our game.
