TAPIR, Bungie's inaction, and the refund request...
The game stopped working in several countries after online maintenance on Monday night and before offline maintenance on Tuesday. So far, this looks most like a GeoIP block on Bungie's part. Bungie's servers are denying authorization to users from the affected countries. Bungie itself remains silent. At the moment, in my opinion, the only effective way to resolve this issue is to request a refund on the platform where you use the game...

But they made sure to note that Iron Banner will end on Tuesday with the reset so players can grab their desired rewards.How is Bungie doing this to us?! HOW?!
