3. ⚖️ Contradiction in Bungie's Terms and 'Ban Evasion' Controversy
· Bungie's official terms of service state that 'a player who has been restricted/banned in one game will not be restricted/banned in another game unless the restriction/ban applies to that game'.
· According to these terms, if there were no separate violations in 'Marathon', a 'Destiny 2' ban leading to a 'Marathon' ban contradicts the terms.
· Community notes pointed out that since 'Marathon' also uses Bungie login, the player attempted 'ban evasion'.
· However, the player claimed they did not create a new account and that it might have taken time for Bungie's security system to update.
· Some speculate that Bungie may have applied a 'Bungie-wide ban' to permanently exclude the player from all Bungie games.

· Questions are being raised about whether game bans, like real-world 'statutes of limitations', should have a 'limited period' after which they can be lifted.
· Bungie has the right to create and change rules for its game ecosystem, and even if the terms are clearly stated, it can change rules or apply bans as needed.
