Bungie Settles Plagiarism Lawsuit That Secretly Became About Content Vaulting

In October 2024, Bungie was sued for copyright infringement by a fantasy author called Kelsey Martineau. He alleged that Destiny 2‘s opening campaign had heavily lifted from his own work that he’d previously published on his blog, complete with a Red Legion embroiled in an “unending cycle of warfare.” The infringing storyline, however, had since been “vaulted” by Bungie, meaning it’s been entirely removed from the game. Now, as The Game Post points out today (thanks PC Gamer), Bungie and Martineau have settled the case and it will no longer go to trial.
