Bungie Keeps Winning Lawsuits Against Destiny 2 Cheaters For Millions Of Dollars
Bungie has spent quite a bit of time and effort going after Destiny 2 cheat-makers, and it seems that the campaign is paying off. As first uncovered by Stephen Totilo of Axios, Bungie recently won a $6.7 million judgment against Lavicheats in a US district court.
As court documents read, roughly $5.5 million of that sum is for violations of the DMCA, $300,000 of it is for violations of the Copyright Act, about $600,000 is for violations of the Lanham Act, and the remaining $250,000 is for court fees and costs.
This was a default judgment, meaning that Lavicheats never responded to the suit. According to Totilo, the Lavicheats owner is believed to live in India, which may account for this. Earlier in May, it was announced that Bungie won a similar lawsuit against VeteranCheats, AKA Mihai Claudiu-Florentin, for just over $12 million dollars. This was also a default judgment. Back in February, it won a lawsuit against a cheat-seller called AimJunkies for $4.3 million.

Tesla Is Facing Two Class Action Lawsuits Over Right-to-Repair
Elon Musk’s car company is facing yet another set of lawsuits. This time, not about the CEO’s chaotic tweet habits, nor alleged civil rights violations at a California factory. Rather, Tesla is being sued over claims that the company has violated antitrust, right-to-repair laws.
Twitter hit with new lawsuits for not paying bills
Elon Musk’s Twitter has been hit with at least six lawsuits by different companies for failing to pay bills, CNBC reports.
According to legal and public records database Plainsite, these non-payment lawsuits have piled up since December. Four of these lawsuits have been filed in February, two just this week. These latest come from corporate events planning company Blueprint Studios, which allegedly invoiced Twitter around $340,000 including tax for a canceled event, and AI software company Writer, Inc., which alleges that Twitter owes them over $220,000 for subscription fees.
Earlier this month, mergers and acquisitions firm Innisfree filed a lawsuit against Twitter for alleged non-payment of nearly $2 million. Analysis Group, which provided litigation-related consulting to Twitter and its counsel prior to the Musk deal, filed their lawsuit for alleged non-payment of over $2 million days earlier.
In December, Twitter was hit with lawsuits from Columbia REIT, the company’s landlord in San Francisco, and Private Jet Services Group, which provides private jets, according to Plainsite.
It’s only the latest news of apparent penny-pinching that’s gone on since Musk’s $44 billion deal for the social platform went through in October last year. This week, Twitter employees said they couldn’t access their internal Slack channels. While Twitter had not been paying Slack’s bill, the service was apparently shut off by Twitter internally, not Slack.
