A Destiny 2 player who subjected a Bungie community manager to threats, harassment, and racist abuse has been ordered to pay the studio more than $489,000 in damages as a result of his behavior. The incident occurred after the community manager shared some art created by UhMaayyze, a Black Destiny 2 and creator, which the ruling says "incensed" defendant Jesse James Comer and led him to start "his campaign of racist, stochastic terrorism" against the CM and Bungie.
The full ruling was shared on Twitter by paralegal Kathryn Tewson, who described Comer pointedly as "a racist shitstain of a human being" who engaged in "sociopathic conduct" against the Bungie employee and their family. Based on details in the ruling, the descriptor fits: Using an anonymizing service, Comer called the community manager's personal line multiple times after he shared UhMaayyze’s work on social media, leaving "hideous, bigoted voicemail," and demanding that Bungie create a Destiny 2 mode in which players would kill people of color.
