- Bungie's attempt to dismiss a copyright lawsuit was denied due to their inability to present key in-game content that has been removed and placed in the Destiny Content Vault. The lawsuit, filed by writer Matthew Kelsey Martineau, claims that Destiny 2's Red Legion faction closely resembles a faction in his pre-game WordPress writings. Despite Bungie's argument that the elements differ significantly, the judge found the studio's evidence insufficient without access to the vaulted content. This case underscores the legal challenges posed by live-service games where content is no longer accessible after updates.

- A judge has denied Bungie’s motion to dismiss a copyright lawsuit involving now-inaccessible content from Destiny 2, rejecting the studio's proposal to use lengthy YouTube lore videos as evidence. The lawsuit, filed by sci-fi author Matthew Kelsey Martineau under the pseudonym Caspar Cole, claims that Bungie borrowed key ideas from his story, which shares elements like the “Red Legion,” flamethrowers, and war hounds with Destiny 2’s original Red War campaign. The removal of the campaign into the Destiny Content Vault has complicated Bungie’s defense, as the judge declined to review the proposed 10-hour lore videos.
