Bungie Wins Landmark Lawsuit Against Destiny 2 Cheat Makers, Awarded Five Figures

May 25, 2024, 05:57 PM

Bungie has won a landmark lawsuit against Aimjunkies/Phoenix Digital, the creators of cheats for Destiny 2. The jury awarded Bungie five figures in damages, focusing solely on the revenue from the cheats. The jury also rejected Aimjunkies' counterclaim that Bungie had illegally accessed one of their computers. This case marks the first jury verdict against cheat developers, potentially paving the way for more game companies to take legal action against cheaters. Bungie's lead lawyer has expressed a commitment to pursuing future cases to trial. Despite the verdict, Phoenix Digital has indicated it will continue to fight the issue in court. Bungie had earlier alleged that the cheat-sellers destroyed financial records, a claim the sellers denied.
