The lawsuit states Leone tweeted that he lives thirty minutes away from Gafner, and that he followed up that tweet by writing \u201che is not safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leone had also previously tweeted a picture of Gafner\u2019s employee badge with the hashtag \u201c#NewProfilePic.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cit\u2019s a warm summer day in portland and dylan has just woken up from his restless slumber.

On July 4, 2022, in response to a tweet asking if anyone was willing to commit arson in Seattle in exchange for payment, Leone replied that he was, and that the poster would receive a discount if the target was Bungie. <\/p>\n<p>The games company alleges that Leone would stream footage of himself cheating at the game on his Twitch channel miffysworld, and would make new accounts to continue playing the game after he was banned for his behavior. <\/p>\n<p>Bungie requires all game players to execute an LSLA in order to play Destiny 2, which requires users to agree not to hack or modify the game, create or distribute software that gives players an unfair advantage, and other stipulations designed to prevent cheating. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/AFP_9XN83E.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Bungie\" class=\"wp-image-23121402\"\/><figcaption>The lawsuit alleges that Leone used third-party software to \u201cgain an unfair advantage by players.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Microsoft\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Destiny 2 is a free game whose income depends on players making in-game purchases.
