The legal battle between game developer Bungie and cheat seller AimJunkies is over. A stipulated dismissal filed at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals effectively marks the end of the case, one notable for a first-ever verdict holding a cheat maker liable for copyright infringement. Comments shared with TorrentFreak suggest that AimJunkies takes full responsibility.

The dismissal means that the jury verdict will stand. As such, the AimJunkies team is required to pay the damages award of $63,210. In addition, Bungie was previously awarded almost $4.4 million in damages and fees in a separate arbitration proceeding, which also remains intact.
