Bungie Intensifies Efforts to Combat Cheating with Third-Party Devices

In a move to maintain fair play, Bungie has introduced stricter measures against the use of third-party peripherals designed to cheat in Destiny 2. The studio outlined its new policy in a recent blog post, highlighting the use of certain devices that manipulate the game to the player's advantage. These devices, which can be connected to a computer or console, are capable of executing scripts or deceiving the game into providing enhanced aim assistance. Bungie has made it clear that it will take action, including issuing warnings, restrictions, and bans, against players found using such devices to gain an unfair advantage. However, the company emphasized its support for external accessibility aids that enable players to experience the game as intended by its designers. The policy specifically targets devices that enhance player control beyond the game's normal capabilities. The use of accessibility aids to play the game where it would otherwise be impossible does not violate this policy. Bungie stated that it will closely monitor policy violations and impose penalties as necessary, aiming to strike a balance between enabling all players to enjoy its games while protecting the community. This development follows the company's history of taking legal action against cheat providers, including recent cases against LaviCheats, Elite Boss Tech, and AimJunkies.
