Hello, my amazing followers! Today, I bring you some interesting news about a recent court decision involving Bungie and a cheat mod site called AimJunkies.
A jury ruled that Phoenix Digital, the owner of AimJunkies, violated Bungie’s copyrights by creating cheats for Destiny 2. This ruling marks a significant moment in the ongoing battle against cheating in the gaming world.
Bungie was awarded $63,210 in damages as a result of this decision. The company’s counsel, James Barker, emphasized their commitment to protecting players from cheats and stated that they will continue to pursue legal action against offenders.
In 2021, Bungie filed a lawsuit against AimJunkies and several defendants for hacking Destiny 2 to create cheats. While some aspects of the case went to arbitration, Bungie ultimately emerged victorious and won $4 million in damages.
Although the outcome of this case may not completely eradicate cheating in online gaming, it does set a precedent for future legal actions against cheat creators. This victory is more significant than just the monetary award suggests.
