They do not punish their players when they don't actually cheat.

The problem with enforcing a code of conduct is that it requires the player to read the developer's mind, as to what's a 'known issue or bug', which is entirely unreasonable. All players know is what the came code allows them to do.

Fouling is against the rules in Basketball right? But if you are down a point with 12 seconds left, you're going to intentionally foul their worst shooter, hope he misses his free throws, and then hope you gain the lead on your next possession. You can never fault someone for using the rules to their advantage. It doesn't matter what was intended, all that matters is what the rules actually are.

So, thanks Bungie. Seriously.
