Destiny 2 Player Ordered to Pay $500K for Harassing Bungie Developer

Bungie has won a default judgment of $489,435.52 against an individual who harassed and terrorized a prominent Destiny 2 community manager. The harasser obtained the community manager's personal information and sent racist voicemails, texts, and even ordered pizza to their house. Bungie responded by providing executive protection and notifying the police. The judgment recognizes a new tort based on cyber and telephone harassment, setting a precedent for holding harassers accountable. The community manager has since left Bungie, but expressed gratitude for the legal support. The hope is that this case will deter similar behavior in gaming communities.
