Previously, Bungie sued the popular cheat-selling site AimJunkies, but the court did not grant the summons. Now the site has decided to strike back and file a summons against Bungie.

Here's What We Know

Bungie accused the cheat site manufacturer Phoenix Digital Group of copyright infringement, and pointed out the people it believed were directly involved. One of these people was James May. He became one of the participants in the counterclaim against Bungie.

May believes that while he was playing Destiny 2, Bungie accessed files from his computer during 2019-2022 in order to find information about the Phoenix Digital Group website. According to May, Bungie used this data for its lawsuit. Thus, the studio violated the Computer Fraud Act, and the plaintiff asks that it be treated as hacking.

Well, it will be interesting to see how this story ends.
