Although Destiny 2 was released in 2017, it is still one of Bungie’s best productions, which is still loved and played by its fans. Of course, like every popular game, it has had its share of cheaters.
Bungie filed a lawsuit against 3 cheat developers it detected last year, and took the issue to court. Within a year, this attempt yielded results, and companies named Veterancheats, LaviCheats and Elite Boss Tech, which developed cheat software for Destiny 2, were sentenced to pay a total of 13.5 billion dollars to Bungie.
Software developers accused of violating the blackmail, fraud, money laundering, computer fraud and abuse laws will likely no longer be able to develop cheat codes for any game.
Cases like this are becoming more and more common. Bungie isn’t the first company to take the matter into the courtrooms. In January, Activision took EngineOwning to court for allegedly causing unfair competition with the software it developed for Call of Duty. The lawsuit demanding hundreds of millions of dollars in damages has not been concluded yet.
