Summary
Destiny 2cheat seller AimJunkies has been denied a new trial request against Bungie, who originally filed a lawsuit against the group and its parent company Phoenix Digital in June 2021. This trial request came a year after AimJunkies was ordered to pay more than $4.3 million to Bungie for violating the company’s DMCA and bypassing protection measures forDestiny 2.
Bungie has an extensive history of legal battles against cheat groupsand other malicious actors that sought to gain an unfair advantage against other players inDestiny 2. One of the most recent and prolific cases involves AimJunkies, as Bungie is highly determined to prevent any cheat providers from ruining the in-game experience in the Crucible and competitive Trials of Osiris activity. Nearly two years after filing the initial complaint, the judge ruled in Bungie’s favor in February 2023, determining that AimJunkies had violated the studio’s DMCA and reverse engineeredDestiny 2to develop and sell its cheats. As a result, the judge ordered AimJunkies to pay the aforementioned $4.3 million sum to the studio to cover damages and Bungie’s legal fees. The legal battle was not completely over for the cheat group, as AimJunkies filed two appeals against Bungie this year.
As reported byTorrentFreak, AimJunkies was denied a new trial request by the Seattle District Court, and the group will not proceed with either of its appeals againstDestiny 2developer Bungie. Firstly, the cheat group failed to convince the court to overturn the jury verdict issued back in May 2024. The Court of Appeals also affirmed the $4.3 million arbitration award to Bungie, with an additional $63,210 that must now be paid by Phoenix Digital and all individual defendants. The court noted that the scale of the award is “not completely irrational,” and US District Judge Thomas Zilly ruled that Bungie had provided enough evidence to definitively prove that AimJunkies infringed on the company’s copyrights.
