Respawn Address Harassment Towards Their Dev Team
No matter the reason, harassment just isn't the answer.
Respawn Entertainment recently released an announcement on Twitter that addresses recent harassment the company has received toward its development team. The company, while welcoming community feedback, needed it to be known that the line from constructive to harassment was a line that should never be crossed.
“We want to remind our players that we have a zero-tolerance policy for threats and the harassment of our developers. We will take appropriate action to ensure the health and safety of our team.”
— Respawn (@Respawn) September 22, 2022
Bungie, who has also received threats in the past replied, “Standing against toxicity and harassment takes all of us working together to build healthier communities. We are with you in that effort.”
No matter the issue with a company, threats are a serious matter and should always be treated as such, seriously.
