Bungie Day.
Going to be real with y’all, we’ve had a few rough moments over these last few months. There’s 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 we’re working hard at Bungie to get on that upswing, I feel it’s 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. It’s not common for something like this to last for so long, and frankly, we’re lucky to have you.
This community has done wonders for this world. On the Foundation side, we couldn’t 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.
We’ve been lucky enough to see “LAN” 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.
…and truly, thank you for holding us accountable when we need it.

Much love, and happy Bungie Day.
