While Bungie's always maintained that old Destiny 2 material is just sitting in the vault for now, when the lawsuit was filed it suddenly turned out that material in the vault couldn't be restored. The engine had been updated, and it simply wasn't possible to restore the Red War. Instead, Bungie insisted "the attached videos are the best possible way for the Court to review the accused work." The videos in question included, as Exhibit B, a 10-hour lore video put together by YouTuber MynameisByf.

Me: Bungie can’t fuck up harder

Bungie: This isn’t even my final form 😎

The only good thing that came out of this is that MynameisByf probably got a lot of exposure. Good for him.

…I may or may not have linked that very video to a couple of friends a few years ago. We’ve played every weekend since.

It's almost as if ripping out 2/3 of the game's paid content was a dogshit decision, who could've seen that one coming

C'mon judge, that's just the overview of the time line. He doesn't even dive deep into anything.
