Bungie has won its $4.3 million court case against the infamous Destiny 2 cheat seller.

In August 2022, former Halo developer Bungie began court proceedings against a website that sold cheats for Destiny 2. The website known as AimJunkies which also sold cheats for PUBG and Battlefield V claimed that cheating isn't against the law.

However, in the latest development in this courtroom drama, Bungie won its case against AimJunkies in arbitration, rewarded with $4.3 million ($3.6m in damages and $738k in fees).

In a Reddit post sharing the news of Bungie’s court victory, it seems most of the thread is in support of the developer. “Good! Screw these cheat makers! I hope they go bankrupt. If your business is to cause grief to others, you deserve to be sued to oblivion,” said excaliburps,

“Cheating in single-player is fine. Cheating in multiplayer is scummy behaviour,” added Lordvoid3092. “Cheat makers are on the same level as phone scammers and paparazzi. The world would only be better if they didn't exist,” exclaimed TheDuckCZAR.

In a similar case, Back in July 2022, Bungie began proceedings against a Destiny 2 player for repeatedly cheating, evading bans as well as allegedly making threats against the developer and its employees.

The lawsuit alleges that Luca Leone had tweeted that he wanted to “burn down” Bungie’s office, and had claimed that some employees were “not safe”, as he planned to move to their neighbourhood.

Moreover, the court filing also states that the accused allegedly created 13 different accounts to play Destiny 2, in an attempt to evade the bans placed on him for cheating by Bungie.

I guess as the old saying goes, “cheaters never prosper”. Well, it at least sometimes, anyway. Destiny 2 is out now for PC, PlayStation and Xbox. A free-to-play version of the game is also available.
