Comer's harassment campaign cost Bungie over $380,000 in the form of investigation costs, "executive protection" for the affected community manager, and lost work when the employee "needed to take time off and curtail his public interactions with Destiny 2 fans."
as well as over $80,000 in legal fees and $25,000 in statutory damages
Crazy story. Sounds like that wasn't a punitive amount, that's how much the cost Bungie. They hired executive protection services for the employee, investigators, lawyers (obviously)...
Exactly. At first I thought, great asshole being punished. After a moment of thought the president this sets scares the shit out of me. I've seen far too many court rulings justifying companies recovering "losses" from individuals.
