Bungie wins landmark lawsuit against player who harassed Destiny staff
Win empowers employers to protect employees from online harm
Just another example of the Government's suppression and censorship of gamers' God given right to...
[D]efendant, Jesse James Comer, was “incensed” when the community manager — whom both Bungie and the court declined to name, to protect them from further harassment — spotlighted some fan art by a Black community member. Using anonymous phone numbers, Comer left a string of “hideous, bigoted” voicemails on the community manager’s personal phone, some asking that Bungie create options in Destiny 2 “in which only persons of color would be killed,” before proceeding to threaten the community manager’s wife with more racist voicemails and texts.
Oh.
Your honor, my client just had a gamer moment.
Your honor, the plaintiff wouldn't have survived cod mw 2 lobby.
As a massive Destiny fan, I was around for all of that as it happened. So so so glad to hear this is how it turned out. These kind of people need to be made examples of, and I hope he has a miserable time trying to recover.
People who threaten developers or families of developers for a game are not true fans of the game, and they should be permabanned from these games. The true fans are the ones who are patient, engage openly with community managers, and are kind. If you don't like something, don't buy it.
I hope this person is going to jail.
