In a legal campaign of Bungie against Destiny 2 cheat sellers in May, a Seattle judge dismissed the
copyright infringement complaint against cheat maker AimJunkies. AimJunkies have defended that
its software is original and even the judge seemed to agree with AimJunkies.

This is not the end. There were a few more elements of Bungie's lawsuit that consisted of allegations
of trademark infringement and false designation of origin and the studio was provided with time
to restate the copyright infringement portion of the case. After several weeks, it did exactly that and
alleged AimJunkies of having reverse-engineered and copied the software code for Destiny 2 to
make cheat software.

While making cheat software's ESP feature that allows users to see others through walls, Bungie
claimed AimJunkies to have copied the Destiny 2 software code that corresponds to the data
structures for player positioning [in] Destiny 2, and reverse engineered the software code for Destiny
2's rendering functions.

The complaints are gradually getting more intense but AimJunkies is not ready to face defeat and
thus the cheat maker is bringing legal action to defend its software. Thus acquiring the right to sell it.
It has been reported that AimJunkies is issuing subpoenas to Valve, PayPal, and Google to get
information that will prove that the cheats did not result in damage to Bungie.

In a press interview, AimJunkies stated that their offering of software products was just the same as
Steam, and these overlays are also derivative works. AimJunkies also claimed that there's no damage
caused to Bungie but rather their sales and player counts have increased at the time when
AimJunkies offered their software products. They are now looking forward to proving the
accusations wrong.

They also added that they would be taking legal action against an employee or contractor who has
purchased AimJunkies cheat software and then changed it to an "unnamed company" which is a
violation of its terms of service. Bungie has also been accused of attempting to make cheating illegal
because they cannot govern their players.

It is not yet known if Bungie would provide a Destiny 2 version consisting of built-in cheats but as
cheat makers themselves, AimJunkies might be in a better position than Bungie to stamp out
cheating in the future.

It is a known fact that whenever any gaming company takes legal action against a cheat maker,
things get solved quickly either with the help of a settlement or a shutdown. Many Companies have
settled down the matter to avoid being heavily hammered by the courts. A list of such companies
includes Ring-1, PerfectAim, Elite Boss Tech, and 11020781 Canada. But AimJunkies is now defending
itself and waiting to see what happens next.
