Grab the Bridge of Magpies Ship as well as other returning fan-favorite Bungie Foundation incentives available now as part of the Lightkeeper Collection vol. 1! 💖 Donate today: bung.ie/lightkeepercollectio…

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨 Fresh off the amazing turn-out and support for the Clash of Champions PvP tournament, we've got something special launching later this week when we host our Halloween stream starting at 12 PM PT on October 30. Introducing the Lightkeeper Collection! We're bringing back fan-favorite Bungie Foundation incentives so you can snag rewards from the past while helping make a difference for kids and communities around the world. A rotating selection of classic items will be available for donation on Tiltify each month. Don't see what you're looking for in Vol. 1? Let us know which incentives you'd like to see in future editions! Our goal with the Lightkeeper Collection is to create a program that not only allows supporters to donate for items they missed in the past but also gives fundraisers tools to support the Foundation and work toward their lifetime fundraising goals outside of our major campaigns. Funds raised from this program will help support our work across children's health and well-being, humanitarian aid and inclusion, diversity & equity. You will help us grow our network of Little Lights hospitals, make more Make-A-Wish kids’ dreams a reality and allow our humanitarian partners to be on the ground quicker to serve communities in the wake of disaster. Lightkeeper Collection Volume 1 will be available for donation via Tiltify starting at 12 PM PT on 10/30 and run through 11/30 at 11:59 PM PT. Volume 2 will launch with a new slate of fan-favorite incentives for donation on 12/1 at 10 AM PT. As with everything we do, this will be community led, so if there's an incentive you think we should prioritize bringing back or something we could do to enhance this program, please give us a shout. Our work is made possible by the amazing generosity of this community, and we want to work in collaboration with you all to continue to grow our impact ❤️

I cannot tell you how much it pains me to say this. As things currently stand, I will not be exhibiting at or attending GCX in 2027 or the indefinite future. The event has restructured their pricing and is eliminating the option to purchase a large booth for artist alley (eliminating a discount that we did not know we had), raising the cost of my booth footprint (same case for @bansheebotpete and @RazorsEdgeRaz ) for the last few years by over 200%. Artists with smaller booths are also seeing hundreds of dollars in service downgrades. While asking for clarification and seeking solutions, we have been treated with a baffling amount of disrespect by an employee of the show (to be clear, this is not directed at Shane, who has always advocated for artists and devs alike, he’s a gem). Veteran artists are being removed from spaces they helped to shape and then being lied about, having their character attacked. I don’t know how we got here. This tone shift feels like a turn from community to capital and it's hard to ignore. Between this sudden and concerning price increase and the failure to promote Artist Alley during my time as an exhibitor in any meaningful way, it just isn't an expense I can justify anymore. We aren’t even listed on the event page. There were no GCX-official promotional posts. I’m tired. Let me be clear. I am crushed. I am gutted. And still, I will never stop making Destiny art. That’s what this is about, at its core. This community means the world to me, and that passion will never leave me. With some adjustments in attitude and pricing, I would love to return someday. If you've gotten yourself a ticket to GCX expecting to find me in Artist Alley, I am deeply sorry to say that you won't be seeing me there. I'm going to really miss my morning commute.

@BungieLove @A_dmg04 #MonumentofTriumph Scammer tried to fake a Tiltify/Bungie Foundation donation confirmation for a $250 emblem code, so here’s a little breakdown for anyone dealing with this stuff: Their screenshot claimed: “Your purchase from Laziness_Maximus was completed.” Problem #1: The email subject/title and confirmation header are wrong. These come from the same place, and a real Tiltify charity donation would not say “Your purchase from Laziness_Maximus was completed.” It would say your donation to the campaign was completed, with the actual campaign/charity shown instead, such as Monument of Triumph or another real fundraiser campaign name. It would not be framed as a purchase from a Discord user. Problem #2: The image they used showed the A Thousand Hugs emblem icon where the real confirmation would show the Bungie Foundation branding/logo. Problem #3: It would say Donation ID, not Purchase ID. Problem #4: A real confirmation includes “A message from the cause” with the Bungie Foundation’s 501(c)(3) / Tax ID info before the fundraiser message. Their screenshot skipped that entirely. Problem #5: It would say “A message from the fundraiser,” not “A message from the seller.” This is a donation platform, not Facebook Marketplace. Problem #6: The fundraiser message was wrong. They pasted delivery/redemption instructions where the actual fundraiser message should be. The real message is the donation thank-you text about supporting the Bungie Foundation’s work for kids in need. Problem #7: Even if the donor left no comment, the real confirmation still shows a Comment field with blank space under it. Problem #8: It would say Donation Amount, not Amount Paid. Problem #9: A real confirmation includes Completed at date (UTC) with the exact timestamp. Their image didn’t. Problem #10: It was missing the Cause section showing the Bungie Foundation. Problem #11: It should show hyperlinked Campaign name, not “Platform: Discord.” Problem #12: The reward-code notice would say the donation contains a reward with redemption codes and that those codes will be sent in an additional email. It would not say “This purchase contains a digital item. The seller will contact you with delivery instructions.” If however it's something out of the fundraiser's own pocket, it would instead show a header "Rewards" along with an Incentive's Icon, Name, Amount, Fair Market Value, and Description. Problem #13: The biggest one: the transaction never existed. As the fundraiser, I can check the transaction history. Nothing there. So yeah, not sending an emblem code because someone opened Photoshop and prayed I wouldn’t know how Tiltify works. Scam attempt failed. Better luck next orbit.💀
