Bungie says “there will never be a ‘muzzle’ big enough to stop us from standing up for what’s right”

Following recent reports that Sony is refusing to approve any statements from PlayStation studios relating to reproductive rights, Bungie – whose acquisition by Sony was announced in February – has said “there will never be a ‘muzzle’ big enough to stop us from standing up for what’s right”.

Bungie was one of the first studios to speak out in support of Roe v Wade, a key judgement which legalised abortion across the US, following recent reports the US Supreme Court was trying to overturn the ruling. At the time, the developer called the move a “direct attack on human rights”, adding that “standing up for reproductive choice and liberty is not a difficult decision to make, and Bungie remains dedicated to upholding these values”.
