Bungie wins $12m in latest Destiny cheats lawsuit

In recent years, Bungie has been looking to hamper the Destiny 2 cheating scene by going after the creators and sellers of cheats directly. Bungie has already had a few successful cases, including a $13 million payout in 2022. Now, Bungie has won another case against a cheat maker, this time winning a $12 million sum. 

As reported by TheGamePost, Bungie's lawsuit against Mihai Claudiu Florentin, the person Bungie claims is behind VeteranCheats, has been ordered to pay $12 million USD in damages to Bungie for producing and distributing cheat software.

The case, which was filed in a Washington District Court, had Bungie seeking just under $12 million in damages based on a figure of $2000 USD for each sale of the cheat. According to the case file, the VeteranCheats software was downloaded more than 5,800 times.

Bungie has already won several cases against cheaters. Recently, the company added another to the list, suing a company known as LeviCheats for $6.7 million over Destiny 2 cheating tools.

KitGuru Says: With major companies directly going after cheat makers all across the world, it is becoming more dangerous to produce or share cheats for various online games. Unfortunately, it hasn't made it any harder to find cheats, as the market for them still remains in place.
