"When it comes to prox chat, I don't think we're against the experience of it, to be fair," game director Joe Ziegler told PC Gamer in an interview at Bungie's Seattle studio. "I think the challenge is how to make sure we're creating a safe environment for players inside of that space.

"I don't think anyone really has a good solution to that just yet. Because we're so dedicated to making sure that we're creating a safe space where we don't have players just flaming each other or doing terrible things to one another, I think we're not ready to invest in prox chat until we have a solution."
