A Destiny 2 cheat maker and provider, AimJunkies, has had their countersuit against Bungie dismissed by a federal court this week. In late September AimJunkies' parent company, Phoenix Digital Group, countersued Bungie saying that the game developer broke the law by hacking into the laptop of one of Phoenix Digital Groups' managers (James May). The cheat maker also claims that Bungie violated DMCA law by circumventing the protection measures included in their cheats.
TorrentFreak once again has the details on this latest dismissal against Phoenix Digital. They share that United States District Court Judge Thomas Zilly dismissed the lawsuit because Phoenix Digital and May "failed to sufficiently allege that Bungie accessed (May's) personal computer and files without authorization. To support his allegation that Bungie accessed his personal computer, May relies on a document that Bungie purportedly produced during discovery in this matter."
The dismissal statement continues on to say, "May, however does not explain what this document is or how it evidences instances in which Bungie allegedly accessed his computer without authorization and downloaded his personal information."
Also dismissed was the claim that Bungie reverse-engineered their cheat software and bypassed protection measures.
"Neither May nor Phoenix Digital allege that Bungie accessed any copyrighted work," says Judge Thomas Zilly. "Phoenix Digital has not pleaded any facts to support that its 'loader software' was protected by a technological measure."
