A while back, we reported that Bungie was offering a special Destiny 2 pin in an effort to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey – and it turns out its community came out in droves.
The pin, which sold for $15, actually raised a lot of money for Direct Relief, the organization that helps areas affected by natural disasters. Bungie explained that it has raised over $500,000 with pin sales, according to an email that was posted by a NeoGAF user. You can find the email in its entirety below:
"Hello Guardian,
Thank you for your pre-order purchase of the Bungie Foundation Pin. Because of your generosity, the Destiny community raised over $500,000 to benefit Direct Relief in their mission to support the people in Houston, Texas affected by Hurricane Harvey, and continues to raise money to support areas around the US and Caribbean that have been most critically hit by recent natural disasters.
Due to the overwhelming response, all pre-orders for the pin are expected to ship in October 2017 and an order confirmation email will be sent to you once the item has shipped. You will find the Destiny 2 in-game emblem code included in the pin packaging. We appreciate your patience.
Thank you for bringing the Light to those who need it now more than ever."
That means you Destiny 2 devotees that didn't have a chance to get the pin yet can still do so, as pre-orders will be available through October 8th. Here's your chance to show your devotion to the game, while also helping out a good cause!
Destiny 2 is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and will release on October 24th for PC.
