Internet shaming is real and powerful. Look it up. It has ruined people's lives. In some cases some of the company's involved (possibly Bungie)were sued. Bungie doesn't want negative attention like that. I'm not saying this guy calling out a few hackers will ruin their lives. But you never know. Again, Bungie can't take any risks. If you name shame, it doesn't matter how unfair the trials game was. Three main reasons A. Bungie cannot take the risk of possibly being sued or receiving negative attention. B. Bungie wants to protect their player base from hate and any mess that may follow Internet shaming. C. What's more important? A persons life potentially ruined by hate and slander. Or you having the satisfaction of calling out cheaters in a [i]fake[/i] game. - TL:DR [spoiler]internet shaming is bad for Bungie because there is a possibility that they could receive negative attention if the shaming becomes widespread[/spoiler] Link: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/magazine/how-one-stupid-tweet-ruined-justine-saccos-life.html

  • It doesn't matter if the person is guilty or not. Read the article. That lady made a racist joke people make all the time in the safety of their home. She was just stupid enough to tweet it. After all, it's just a game. Yes the cheater should be banned, but you don't have tell the whole world that he does cheat. You use bungies reporting system and forget about it. Put yourself in the cheater in questions shoes. What if he saw this post? What if he feels awful because there are a hundred people calling for his ban? How would you feel if you saw a post about you cheating had 100+ replies and most of them were comments like " what a douchebag". I bet you wouldn't feel to great after that.

  • If you cheat you don't have morals and really wouldn't care if someone was trying to hurt your feelings through comments on the Internet.

  • That's the point... its supposed to make him feel bad. If they are going to get hurt by random people over the internet being mean to him he should have thought of the consequences to his action. Above that they're not using his real name and don't know anything about him so how is he threatened in anyway? Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating for name shaming but I'm just trying to say peoples mode of thought

    You seem to act as if I would care what people would think, as if I were I cheater I would know I was guilty. However, I don't cheat, and I don't care much for the opinions of others. However. I can see what you are saying, and I acknowledge it completely. I've had an experience myself where I got in trouble and the cheater got off Scott free, so I was salty when I made this post.

    Of course. I understand where the saltiness is coming from. I rage in crucible as much as anyone else.
