Cheat maker wants to sue Bungie, claims cheats haven’t harmed Destiny 2

Recently, Bungie has been handing out lawsuits against cheat sellers and cheat creators, looking to stamp out cheating in Destiny 2. For the most part, Bungie is winning these cases, but it ran into a wall earlier this year when a lawsuit against AimJunkies was dismissed by a judge. Now, the cheat seller wants to file its own complaint against Bungie. 

Bungie's lawsuit against AimJunkies was dismissed back in May when a Judge agreed that the cheats were ‘original software' and did not infringe on Bungie's copyright. Typically, copyright infringement is at the centre of these lawsuits against cheat sellers.

As reported by TorrentFreak and PCGamer, AimJunkies isn't content with having the lawsuit dismissed and is actively considering its own legal action against Bungie. The cheat maker is issuing subpoenas to companies like Valve and Google to seek information that could help it prove that its cheats did not harm Destiny 2 sales or player numbers.

AimJunkies also claims that its cheats are “just doing what Steam and countless others do with overlays”, and claims that it has “offered to work with Bungie” in the past too.

Bungie has not yet responded to the statements of AimJunkies and its parent company, Phoenix Digital Group.

KitGuru Says: Bungie, Nintendo, Riot, Epic Games, Take-Two and other major games publishers all attempt to get cheating outlets shutdown with lawsuits. Usually, these companies win copyright infringement claims in these cases, so the AimJunkies' suit being dismissed is particularly interesting.
