Bungie has been on a suing spree, taking strict action against 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2 cheat manufacturers and harassers. While the main reason for doing so is to keep the 🐭toxicity in the community at bay, the lawyer representing the studio has revealed another reason🐠.
Bungie has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sued at least 3 cheat sellers and one harasser so far and has seen great results in curbing the former’s business. There is also a YouTuber that the studio is suing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for sending fake DMCA notices. Additionally, it has also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:joined hands with Riot and Ubisoft in essentially declaring war on cheat ma🔯nufacturers.
At the centre of these lawsuits is Bungie’s lawyer, Don McGowan, who is helping it in this crusade. However, he recently revealed that there is also a huge monetary gain for the developer thanks to these lawsuits. Speaking with , McGowan said, “In our view, removing harassment and abuse from our community is not only the right thing to do, it is also good business”. Bungie was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:rece💖ntly awarded $🌳13.5 million in damages, so it's definitely good business.
McGowan also mentioned how these lawsuits are not random, but ins♈tead are a ‘strategic push’ against cheaters. To sum it all up, he said “We believe very♊ strongly that most people do not want to be in communities where cheating or harassment is allowed to thrive”.
Toxicity has also been rampant in the Destiny 2 community. Since reports of Bungie employees being harassed surfaced, communication from its team has been non-existent. This is because the team decided to take some time off for strategizing a plan to curb this toxicity as the developers received ‘real threats’. As a result, Bungie 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:recently sued a streamer who threatened to burn down its HQ and sent 🍃personal threats to a developer.
Bungie is sending a very clear message that it has zero tolerance for any harassment or other malicious activity in its community. One of its lawsuits also contains a line that says, “Serious consequences await anyone else foolish enough to volunteer as a Defendant by targeting Bungie's community for attack”. Clearly, Bungie is not to be trifled with.
