In a bid to identify individuals allegedly involved in creating and distributing cheats for the video game Destiny 2, Bungie has subpoenaed the U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. The subpoena seeks to identify the owner of a Bitcoin wallet, who is believed to be a European resident. This individual, however, is contesting the subpoena, claiming it violates EU privacy laws and other regulations.

Holy fuck, "we" are seriously even considering letting a company hunt somecritter down over game cheats?

As much as I loved destiny back in the day, and hate cheaters that make PVP not fun for anyone else (wouldn't mind a modding server and a vanilla server so we can all be happy, but I digress), I have to say my immediate response is "haha fuck you let people play on linux."

I would probably still play if they didn't block Linux

Yeah, because Google hosts most of their services on Linux. Doesn't mean I'm signing up for Gmail anytime soon.

Why don't they just fix their game instead?
