Destiny 2 cheat maker owes Bungie $4.4M after judge rules it violated the DMCA

[ad_1]

Bungie has won a $4.4 million arbitration award against AimJunkies after a judge found that the cheat maker violated the DMCA by bypassing Destiny 2’s protections and reverse-engineering the game in order to develop cheats which it then sold to players.

Bungie unleashed the lawyers against multiple Destiny 2 cheat makers beginning in 2020, including PerfectAim (opens in new tab), GatorCheats (opens in new tab), and Ring-1 (opens in new tab). But it ran into a snag against AimJunkies in May 2022 when a judge dismissed the copyright infringement portion (opens in new tab) of Bungie’s claim: AimJunkies argued that its software was an original creation and so does not constitute an “unauthorized copy,” and the judge in the matter ruled that Bungie had failed to demonstrate otherwise.
