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”.
However, in light of reports that Sony is refusing to authorise any public statements its PlayStation studios might want to make around the issue of reproductive rights, some Bungie fans have questioned whether the developer will still be able to express its opinion so freely once its acquisition by Sony is complete.
