    The majority of the settlement is reimbursement.

    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
