Bungie released another
policy statement, and in no way refers to games and the process of their creation and development. The company publicly announced its support for reproductive choice, freedom and privacy, and at the same time human rights.
The reason was the news that the US Supreme Court is considering overturning the decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which guarantees the constitutional right to abortion. If this happens, then in 22 US states, full or partial bans on abortion could be introduced.
The gaming company’s attention to important social trends, however, did not appeal to all players. In the comments, developers are invited to remember what news about games is expected of them. But Bungie representatives said that the values of the company and the lives of its employees exist beyond any games.
– You should stop getting involved in politics, it has nothing to do with what you do, neither in business, nor in development.
“It has to do with the lives of our employees, and we will never stop.
Imagine a company this size publicly stating that “literally every employee” is of the same ideology and then boasting about its “diversity.” Working at Bungie and quietly respecting the sanctity of life are completely incompatible
“It’s just sad. You, the gaming company, are wasting your time picking sides when you shouldn’t be getting involved with this political bullshit. You make games, your main task is to please people with your games. Not with your opinions. Seriously, enough already.
We chose a side, and it was not difficult. Our company values exist outside of our games.
Bungie has publicly advocated various movements in the past. Most notably, in 2020, she released a Black Lives Matter badge and a Be Heard emblem to raise funds for the Equal Justice initiative.
