⚫︎ A judge has rejected Bungie's attempt to dismiss a copyright lawsuit by citing now-unavailable Destiny 2 content, ruling against using lengthy YouTube lore videos as evidence. The lawsuit by sci-fi author Matthew Kelsey Martineau claims that Destiny 2’s Red War campaign borrowed elements from his story, including a faction called the “Red Legion,” flamethrowers, and war hounds.

The judge refused to watch the proposed 10-hour lore videos, underscoring the difficulty of preserving evidence in live-service games.
