Destiny 2 cheat creator company agrees to pay £11 million in damage fees
Destiny 2 publisher, Bungie, has just won a lawsuit against a cheat creator company that will see them obtain £11 million ($13.5 million) in damages.
Bungie originally filed a lawsuit against the company Elite Boss Tech in August 2021 after they believed that their software infringed Destiny’s copyright laws.
It has now been reported via TorrentFreak that the lawsuit has been settled as the two have reached an agreement in which Elite Boss Tech will have to fork out £11 million to Bungie and will also be prohibited from creating, distributing or making available any future software that infringes on Bungie’s rights.

The cheating company Elite Boss Tech accepted that it’s software both injects code into Destiny 2’s copyrighted code and features a graphical overlay that integrates with the code, which creates an unlicensed derivative work and therefore counts as copyright infringement.
Elite Boss Tech also admitted that its software bypasses Bungie’s anti-hacking measures, which is a violation of anti-circumvention laws.
According to an old review on Elite Boss Tech’s website, the Destiny 2 cheats gave players access to an aim-bot, a radar that allows you to see where other players are located and finally a warning message that shows players where the enemy is shooting at them from.
The company is still selling cheats for other games, which include Halo Infinite, CSGO, Dead by Daylight, Apex Legends and Warframe.
The way they work is through the idea of a subscription service. They offer individual hacks for $19.95 a month, or if you want the special VIP treatment, which allows access to hacks for over 20 games –
