After Bungie region-locked Destiny 2 and blocked access to it in certain territories, Valve has begun issuing refunds to affected players, regardless of whether they fall within the usual parameters or have thousands of hours in the game.
According to various reports on the Destiny subreddits and other social media, some players have suddenly started receiving the TAPIR error code when trying to log into the game, usually indicating that servers are offline or undergoing maintenance. However, the error persists, reportedly first starting to appear to users in Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan on Sept. 17.
