Bungie has failed to dismiss a lawsuit which alleges it plagiarised elements of Destiny 2’s original campaign from a sci-fi story posted online.
A US federal judge has now ruled that the lawsuit should continue, as Bungie has been unable to provide satisfactory evidence to have the case tossed out.
That evidence could have been a working copy of Destiny 2 featuring the game’s original story campaign, but this – alongside many other, older parts of the game – are no longer playable, having been excised and relegated to Bungie’s controversial content “vault”.
“Defendant [Bungie] has admitted it cannot produce the entirety of the relevant form of Destiny 2 for the court’s review,” Judge Susie Morgan wrote, revealing that the developer had instead been forced to provide YouTube videos and pages from a fan Wiki, Destinypedia, as evidence instead.
