Rigged? Bungie just announced the winners of a Destiny 2 event that isn't due to end for weeks

The event isn't even over! This one is going to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, bring a shotgun. (Image credit: Bungie)

As a lifelong Warlock main since the launch of vanilla Destiny, I was delighted to log in at reset today and see that our class has won the 2023 Guardian Games. Let's gooooooooo book club buddies, etc. I was also a little confused, because the event only began this week and it's due to run until May 23. Even more bafflingly, another in-game pop up confirmed that Titans had actually deposited most medals and won the inaugural week. So, uh, shenanigans?

Before anyone starts accusing Bungie's dev team of being stacked with cheating Warlocks (how else to explain Starfire Protocol having gone un-nerfed so long), it's far more reasonable to assume that this is just another bug in a season that has at times resembled the insect enclosure at the San Diego Zoo. Guardian Games has previous form in this area, too. After 2021's event, the Guardian Games statue in the tower featured a golden lion, indicating Titans had won, when it should have been Hunters' snake instead. Hardly the most damaging mistake, but endearingly shambolic, and if I recall correctly it took a while to fix.
