Subject: Bungie's Position on SOPA

So, yeah. That happened.

If you want to know how Bungie feels about SOPA, check out our official statement, delivered bravely by my fearless leader.

Feel free to discuss this issue. Let the debate rage in this thread, and ONLY in this thread. Be excellent to each other. The rules still apply. SOPA is more than a political issue. It's a phenomenon that would impact the industry in which we play, as well as the mediums we use to interact with you fine people.

Beyond this conversation, the laws that govern Bungie.net do not change. Political debate is not something that we want to see here. On this rarest of occasions, we are breaking our own rules. Such is the privilege of ruling the domain that you host.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

That picture disturbs me. Dredd was a bit of a loose cannon. What are you implying, DeeJ?

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Glad to see Bungie taking this position, but in the interests of my usual avoidance of political issues on the internet, I'll bow out here and just follow the discussion from all of you fine, intelligent, non-flaming, non-insulting, non-trolling folks. :-)

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

Good to hear! Glad to see Bungie on board!

Oh, I'm surprised that all of Bungie agrees on something; but then again, I'm not studied at all on SOPA. Well, this'll certainly prevent a lot of threads that have been started recently.

I'll probably return when I'm studied on this subject.

Sounds good.

It's so good to see the company make a statement in regards to this bill. Maybe this will get the community to pay more attention.

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

Glad to see that Bungie made it's voice heard.

My respect for Bungie just went up ten-fold. It's nice to see the best developer out there supporting getting rid of the worst bill in America.

Although I wouldnt care what position Bungie took on this, I am secretly pleased they took this stance.

Glad to see a public Bungie statement on SOPA. I recall someone asking about it earlier on, and I was curious about Bungie's official stance on it as well (more just to have a public pillar of support against it than actual curiosity, since it's such an obviously backwards bill).

I'm happy that a lot of my favourite companies are all against something that some evil money-grabbing companies would help rush to get passed. You all make me very happy.

Join ODST Expeditionary Force for a more mature, friendly community!

Bungie played an instrumental part in paving the way to user-generated content in video games. SOPA threatens to destroy that.

We wouldn't have things like Arby and the Chief, RvB, etc.

Good job Bungie

I always knew Bungie didn't use soap.

I don't either. We have a special bond.

Kudos to Bungie for making a statement against SOPA. SOPA is legislation that will pave a two lane highway of censorship over the freedom of speech we have on the Internet. The bill will do nothing to help anyone, save the people who lobby for it.

I really hope Bungie does more. I'd love to see Bungie throw its weight, money, or technical wisdom into the fight to educate Congress about the issue.

Bungie-wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

Well done Bungie.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I'm happy Bungie finally took a stand on SOPA. SOPA is seriously evil and needs to be removed from existence.
