Bungie Day.
Going to be real with yโall, weโve had a few rough moments over these last few months. Thereโs no beating around that bush. It can be hard to look at a day of celebration amidst some of the down beats and feel excited.
As weโre working hard at Bungie to get on that upswing, I feel itโs imperative to look around us and feel inspiration and hope. Today, as with every Bungie Day, is about you - the fans.
Some of you joined this community decades ago. Some just joined up an hour ago. Itโs not common for something like this to last for so long, and frankly, weโre lucky to have you.
This community has done wonders for this world. On the Foundation side, we couldnโt be lucky enough to have such a vibrant, passionate community. Millions raised for Charity over the years, supporting people in hospitals, people working through natural disasters, people in need of safety spaces or help with mental health - no matter their country or background. Guardians of the World as a tagline has been proven time and time again.
So many of you have shown your creativity through writing, cosplay, digital & physical artworks, and so much more. Not just for our games, but expanding to a broader gaming community.
Weโve been lucky enough to see โLANโ parties, tournaments, meetups, conventions, and rallying cries to meet up and share your stories. The amount of passion on display is inspiring, not just from a standpoint of making games, but outright playing them.
You all remind us, and each other, of how amazing gaming can be. How a hobby can turn into a friendship, a second home, or simply a safe space to relax and explore the solar system.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for playing together, for grinding loot together, for laughing and crying and hooting and hollering together. Thank you for coming together and making something so grand - this community.
โฆand truly, thank you for holding us accountable when we need it.
Much love, and happy Bungie Day.
