Bungie is currently facing a major problem and the only ones who can help them are the fans of Destiny 2 and their love for the game.
What does Bungie have to fight? As early as October 2024, Meinmmo editor-in-chief Schuhmann reported on a new lawsuit against Bungie. However, this time it is not about cheaters, but about allegations of plagiarism.
The author Kelsey Martineau presented a fantasy world in 2013 and 2014 that is said to have copied bungie brazenly. This should then serve as a template for the Red Battle campaign.
Now there are new developments regarding the case and they saw for Bungie at first. The team had difficulty showing their innocence. This is to blame for a feature that still has no fans in the community.

Already back then, content vault was a lousy idea
Why is the content vault problematic? The content vault was introduced to offer Destiny 2 more space for new content. The motto was called “old out and new” – unfortunately that included the popular campaign of the red battle. Many content has disappeared since the time that were part of the game and the story of the loot shooter.
And although only the community had a problem with it, the same system was now doomed to developers. Bungie wanted to prove in court that the Red Battle campaign was not copied – but the evidence was missing. The reason for this was the safe because the campaign was there.
Why didn’t Bungie not get the red battle out of the safe? It doesn’t work so easily with the safe. The safe is like an intermediate world by saving all content on a database so that bungie can access it for future projects.
However, this is not a functional collection that developers can simply pull and play on the servers. If something has ended up in the safe, the developers must, if you want to get the content back, laboriously build it up by hand and adjust the engine. That takes a lot of time and resources.
How did Bungie solve his problem? In order for bungie to defend himself against the plaintiff, they used the help of the community.
On YouTube there were countless videos about the campaign, including the well-known 10-hour Lore video by My Name Is Byf-the Lore expert of Destiny 2. Through this “archive”, Bungie was able to provide some evidence.
Without the loyal fans, Bungie would now have no valid evidence. It is still pending whether the indictment will be dropped. You can find more about Destiny 2 here: The iron banner brings one of the worst weapons back in Destiny 2 – but you should definitely get it
