Destiny 2 YouTuber Sued By Bungie For Fake DMCA Claims
Content creators who had their Destiny 2 videos wrongfully taken down by phony DCMA claims from Bungie should see justice soon, with the imposter being sued for millions of dollars. Destiny 2 is the latest FPS from the game developer behind the creation of the Halo and Marathon series. The Destiny series has become one of the most successful multiplayer loot shooters on the market. Although the game is free-to-play, players have been able to purchase expansion packs that add a significant amount of new content (almost) every year. But recently, some Destiny content creators and even the game's Youtube channel have run into significant problems.

Still, this incident caused Destiny content creators to fear that their videos and hard work could be next. The real culprit behind the fake claims has now been found, and the Destiny 2 developers are ready to make an example of the person who specifically targeted Bungie's community.
