Adding Linux/macOS players
For the most part, a lot of people play on Windows and I get that. I'm glad you're using something that works for you. I've just switched to Ubuntu 19.04 over some recent developer changes to Windows which has resulted in most of my Windows builds to remain unstable and/or a real pain to use. If anything, could September open up the possibility of Destiny 2 coming to Linux/Mac as this would also open a user-base if Bungie intends to stick with switching to Steam. I get that Battle.net may have had some restrictions on content that was to be posted (it only officially supports Windows), but Steam supports Linux and Mac. I'm personally only asking for Linux, but for the most part Mac would likely work with a few minor changes as well, which could open up an entirely different player-base and increase revenue too..
TL;DR: It's just a thought, but can we actually support Linux and/or Mac with the September release or shortly thereafter now that Destiny is moving to Steam?

Myself and fellow professional Mac users have a saying. "Macs are for work, PCs are for play". Personally, I believe developers not bringing more games to Mac is a service to gamers. Kind of saving gamers from paying twice as much for a mostly useless machine when it comes to gaming. As far as Linux goes, I don't know much about it. I have a Linux based Raspberry Pi, but that's about it. I imagine being open source, the battle against cheat software and hacking would not be worth trying to capture 2% of the home PC market that makes up Linux users.
