Addressing the claim by cheat maker James May that Bungie had accessed his computer illegally, Judge Zilly stated:
"May has failed to sufficiently allege that Bungie accessed his personal computer and files without authorization. To support his allegation that Bungie accessed his personal computer, May relies on a document that Bungie purportedly produced during discovery in this matter. "May, however, does not explain what this document is or how it evidences instances in which Bungie allegedly accessed his computer without authorization and downloaded his personal information."
Bungie first filed suit against AimJunkies in June 2021, when the latter was selling a"Destiny 2 Hacks" package to users who wished to cheat in Destiny 2 for $35 a month. The ensuing saga has had a few twists and turns - and rose to prominence as Bungie initially appeared to have been placed on the back foot.. At the time, AimJunkies argued that its cheating software was its own work rather than a copy of Bungie's code.
Bungie subsequently tried again, arguing that AimJunkies had largely reverse-engineered and copied Destiny's software code. ButThings then took a turn for the bizarre in September, whenAimJunkies now has until 21st November to file a new appeal - or accept it has likely lost.Get your first month for £1 when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
