Court Denies Bungie’s Attempt to Dismiss Destiny 2 Red War Lawsuit, Refuses to Consider YouTube Videos and Wiki Pages as Proof

A federal judge has rejected Bungie’s attempt to dismiss the Destiny 2 Red War lawsuit, saying YouTube videos and fan-made wiki pages aren’t enough to evaluate copyright claims at this stage.

That's what they get for taking content people bought away.

Its good that this is a fight. Red War is trash, but thats not the point. It was the main content from the D2 disc many gamers bought for 60 bucks. That content is just gone.

This is how far it has gone. I mean, you can load up Medal of Honor on PSX and play through the campaign just fine. If you load up your D2 copy, you can't do shit.

The funniest thing about all of this is Bungie basically admitting that they're unable to change it back because they're too retarded.

It's a copyright law suit. Nothing to do with that

The claims sound very vague tho, it's not like the Red War was some amazing original scifi plot. Unknown UFO over earth and an invader with "red" in their name can be just summed up as coincidence at this point.

 

[Z O N E]

I find it funny how they had to resort to trying to use a fan made video for their evidence because they can't even get the Red War campaign running anymore to use as evidence on their end.

Basically, Bungies shit treatment of the campaign backfired on themselves.

 

[Braag]

I don't play D2 but I find it insane how they just took large amounts of content that people paid money for and said "well, it's gone now, so deal with it" and thought no one was gonna do anything about it.

This content being inaccessible bites them in the ass now. Which is good.

Yep, it's hilarious that they can't produce evidence because of their own shenanigans.

I had a friend in my school days who, when our class was tasked to write some essay paper for Latin class, just dead-ass copied a Latin Wikipedia article. He then proceeded to delete it (and to try to keep it deleted) during the "correction phase" (which was one week), in the hopes the teacher wouldn't see the article. And it fucking worked.

Dude got banned multiple times, on each account he created. And then got range-banned at the end. I was surprised that the article did not get locked.

How does he like working at Bungie?

How does he like working at Bungie?

I can image he'd like it, seeing that he gets paid for not giving a shit. I would like that quite a lot, at least.

 

[DeepEnigma]

To the gallows!

 

[Mr Hyde]

I don't play Destiny but can someone explain why Bungie removed paid content? Like why would anyone do that? It's despicable.

 

[Fake]

Bungie is just a name. The people that make Bungie great was out a long time ago.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Bundie is a trash compared to how it was before. only couple of figure heads are there but the good team mostly gone it seems. Marathon is a proof enough how they have fallen from the amazing Destiny 1 to amazing early Detiny 2 to half trash destiny 2 ( that is still based on the original foundation) to the trash marathon is ( I cant believe this is a game with this shit graphics ).

They cant even get the old content back because they are retarded.

Sony's worst purchase ever. them and the concord team lol.

 

[MayauMiao]

If Bungie can screw up Destiny, think about how worse it will be for Marathon.

People need to stop having lucid dream that Bungie is a company that can do no wrong.

They claim it was for technical reasons that added bloat and messed with the balance of the game.

On other words, they should have focused on actual talent in the hiring process and not their "gender neutral knitting clubs" they had on work time at one point.

They could've at least refunded people if they had to remove it. Scummy move. It makes me hesitant to support a studio like Bungie.

Yeah I read about their knitting classes A gym to workout before or after work I can understand but knitting? Absolutely fucking insane that something like that exist in a workplace. It's so far out from the industry I'm currently employed at. Feels like bizarre world when you read about stuff like that.

 

[Nydius]

Good. I'm not completely up to date on all the specifics of this case or what Bungie stands to face if they lose (looks like they'll only be refused the ability to shut down a fan mod that restores old content?) but I hope they get their peepee slapped hard. Vaulting is probably the second biggest reason I quit playing -- a very close second only to their egregious monetization and money grubbing nonsense. It's already bad enough to continually ask gamers to open their wallets for mediocre recycled content every season, but then to do that that while also getting rid of content we already paid for?

Disgusting behavior and, combined, is why I checked out early into Beyond Light and never looked back.

They remove it because the current build of the game is in essentially a different beast to the game that shipped on disc way back. The game ofcourse also went F2P in the meantime. But in FFXIV you should be able to still play ARR. Bungie however works different. They claim the old content is simply inaccessible with the current game logic. Which is true because they can't even show the campaign for evidence.
