Bungie has announced that they will no longer allow players to play Destiny 2 on Steam if they do not have a Bungie account. This is in response to the recent controversy around the game’s use of microtransactions. This decision comes as a surprise, as it seems that many people are still using Steam to play Destiny 2. Bungie has stated that this decision was made in order to protect the game’s integrity and ensure that all players have an equal experience. It is clear that Bungie is concerned about the way in which microtransactions are being used in Destiny 2, and this decision will hopefully help to prevent this from happening again.
Bungie, which was recently purchased by Sony, posted a Help page regarding playing its beloved Destiny 2 on Valve’s new portable PC:
Bungie definitely isn’t beating around the bush here. The language clearly says that if you disregard the lack of support and figure out a way to get the game running on Steam Deck, you’ll no longer be able to play Destiny 2. Considering some players have thousands of hours invested into their Destiny 2 accounts, it definitely doesn’t seem worth the risk.
Players who attempt to bypass Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban.
