Destiny Players Banned for Using Modified Consoles

"Play nice! And use the boxes your favorite retailer 'gave' you."

In a recent update on the Bungie community blog, it was confirmed that some Destiny players had been banned from the game due to their use of modified consoles.

Citing "the shadowy forces who protect the world of Destiny from shadowy activities," the blog had this to say of the bans:

“We routinely review Banhammer actions to ensure that they are applied accurately and fairly. A review of the bans applied over the last week shows that all of the affected accounts had logged into Destiny on a modified console at some point.”

No information regarding the number of people involved in the use of modded consoles was revealed, but the blog did warn players to avoid the use of modded consoles and "use the boxes that your favorite retailer 'gave' you."

In the same update, Bungie also commented on reported issues players had experienced after downloading the most recent expansion The Dark Below. Check out the Bungie Community Manager's statement on the matter..

The expansion released on December 9.
