More than a year after Destiny 2 studio Bungie won a $4.4 million award against cheat maker AimJunkies, two US courts have effectively locked in the victory: One ruling affirmed the amount of the award, which AimJunkies had appealed, while another denied the company's request for a new trial.
Bungie's case against AimJunkies was one of several it brought against cheat makers including PerfectAim, GatorCheats, and Ring-1, but it stumbled a bit out of the gate. In May 2022 a judge dismissed part of Bungie's claim related to copyright infringement, a small but surprising win for AimJunkies. It didn't add up to much in the end: The bulk of the remaining claim was sent to arbitration, which resulted in a ruling in favor of Bungie just shy of $4.4 million, most of it related to DMCA violations.
