Destiny 2's unpopular removal of older game content now hampering Bungie's ability to defend plagiarism lawsuit


Destiny 2's removal of its Red War campaign has made it more difficult for Bungie to contest a plagiarism claim.

"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. Bungie removed swathes of content from Destiny 2 over the course of several years, including its base Red War campaign, Curse of Osiris and Warmind DLCs, plus its popular Forsaken expansion. A key goal of this Red Legion was to capture Tononob Station, "a massive celestial entity hovering above Earth that houses valuable assets", in order to dominate the planet.
