I keep seeing “the Red War lawsuit” brought up since the Unvaulting announcement and it’s been annoying my last few remaining brain cells, so… Bungie couldn’t submit the legacy build of Red War as an exhibit to the Court because Bungie “cannot feasibly provide the Court with the original Destiny 2 game as it existed in 2017”. Mind you, this was at very early stages of the lawsuit (which was obviously a sham to anyone with half a brain. The plaintiff Martineau waited 7 YEARS to file after he knew the campaign was no longer playable??) prior to discovery during a motion to dismiss from Bungie. Unvaulting Red War (what Bungie is doing now) would not have been an acceptable exhibit for the judge as “original work” since it’ll undergo TONS OF CHANGES to make it playable with D2’s updated underlying framework. Also, Project Sunrise “modders” said that players would never be able truly play Red War but instead explore it a little, which also would not have been accepted by a judge in a copyright case at that stage.
