Bungie’s Copyright Infringement Case Against Cheat Seller Has Been Dismissed

Bungie has hit a bump in their fight against cheaters as the Seattle District Court dismisses the studio’s copyright infringement lawsuit against a Bungie 2 cheat seller.

According to Destiny 2’s logo. This backs up Bungie’s false origin claims which falls under the trademark infringement complaints.

Bungie also has the option to amend its copyright infringement suit with additional evidence should they wish to continue down that route. Other claims included in the lawsuit will be resolved out of court in accordance with studio’s End License Agreement (EULA), which states that disputes that fall outside of copyright and trademark infringement are to be resolved through mandatory arbitration.

This isn’t the first time that Bungie went after cheat makers with a copyright infringement lawsuit. Earlier this year, Bungie and Riot Games filed a t lawsuit against GatorCheats for creating hacks for Destiny 2 and Valorant. That ended with a resounding win for the video game developers as GatorCheats was forced to shut down and settle the matter for $2 million.

Bungie also filed another copyright infringement lawsuit against the group of individuals responsible for last March’s takedowns on YouTube, seeking monetary damages and injunctions against the perpetrators.
