Ajay25 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Bungie has won its court battle against cheat and mod site, AimJunkies. As reported by journalist Stephen Totilo, AimJunkies, aka Phoenix Digital, was instructed to pay the Destiny 2 developer $63,210 in damages – that's the revenue the company is thought to have earned selling the cheats – setting a new precedent in what's thought to be the first lawsuit wherein a jury has ruled on a game-cheating case. https://www.eurogamer.net/bungie-wins-court-battle-against-destiny-cheat-site-aimjunkies Wow, do you think this might stop players from using cheat sites??

Shagger Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I take no issue with Bungie taking cheat sites down and taking them to court, what I'm concerned about is the court system's ignorance in the difference between cheating and modding in future cases. I can see companies like Nintendo, Rockstar and possibly even Bethesda taking modders to court over perfectly innocent fan-made content for games because of these companies intention to monetise DLC and even mods themselves. I'm happy to see cheat sites be taken down and held accountable, but we could be sitting atop a very slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 That's a valid point @Shagger. Those cheating companies should be taken to court but modders shouldn't be put in the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
