He didn't lie.
It sounds like what he's saying is that, yes, there are clearly issues with running other applications with Destiny 2.
[i]But,[/i] in terms of the game system itself, it technically isn't a ban. "Ban" would imply that you were specifically banned from the system for cheating or bad behavior.
So no, you can't blame him for attempting to put out the flames before people start thinking that Bungie [i]banned[/i] (see explanation above) all those players that are having technical difficulties.

Houndish did a video on this, he said he definitely was one of the people banned on pc during the beta but isn't banned currently. He also said it happened when an application opened while playing, so I'm inclined to believe that it's just their (Bungie's) security program being aggressive.

During the beta though. It could be an entirely different problem now.
