While video games can give players amazing sights, fascinating narratives, and competitive
thrills, they are all made up of thousands of lines of code at the end of the day. At times, that
programming is exposed to hackers, resulting in unfair advantages for some players. Hackers
entering and damaging competitive shooter games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Counter-
Strike Global Offensive and Destiny 2 are nearly unheard of. Destiny 2 has experienced
several exploits, ranging from disabling players' firearms in PvP to resurrecting teammates
in the Trials of Osiris.

Hackers that exploit a game's code will frequently sell those exploits via a website. Bungie,
the creator of Destiny 2, has fought against cheating websites for several years. In 2020, the
corporation submitted a stop and desist letter to a prominent cheat website, and in 2021, the
Destiny 2 designers and Valorant developers both targeted the hacking website GatorCheats.
AimJunkies is the name of the newest website Bungie is attempting to sue. Bungie claims
that AimJunkies infringed on its intellectual property and trademarks. The Destiny 2 cheat
website, on the other hand, refused to back down, claiming that the software used to hack the
game was its development, not a clone of Bungie's. US District Judge Thomas Zilly has
generally agreed with AimJunky's allegation, ruling that Bungie's evidence of copyright
infringement by the cheating website is deficient.

Bungie has just faced another difficulty with copyright protection. Rather than a hacking
website being held liable for exploiting the Destiny IP, YouTubers had their videos removed
for playing the game's soundtrack on this occasion. Because of these activities, even Bungie's
own YouTube accounts suffered, generating uncertainty among Destiny 2 fans and
developers.
