Bungie Pins Marathon Art Plagiar at a former employee announces “To Right” of the original artist

Bungie, gathering to the introduction of a fresh extraction shooter marathon, the studio was accused of plagiarism of art for its game, with examples found in the films and screenshots of the Alpha Compilation screen. Bungie reacted to these accusations and blamed the former artist, committing to review resources in the game and implement more severely controlling the contribution.

Digital artist Antireal started to social media To emphasize that their work was raised yesterday by bungie, hyglyristing of some key examples in which glyphs and posters sections created in 2017 were used as stickers and textures in the marathon.

In response, Bungie used her @Marathondevteam Accounts (Their account with 10,300 Twitter observers, instead of 117 700 for @Marathonthegame or 2.8 million for @bungie) to issue the following statement:

“We immediately examined the fears of the unauthorized exploit of artists’ stickers in.

“This problem was unknown to our existing artistic group and we are still checking how this oversight happened. We treat such matters very seriously. We got to @4nt1r34l to discuss this problem and we are involved in doing the artist proper by the artist. According to politics, we do not exploit the work of artists without their permission.

“To prevent similar problems in the future, we carry out a thorough review of our resources in the game, especially those made by the former Bungie artist, and we implement more severe controls to document all artists’ contributions.

“We value creativity and dedication of all artists who contribute to our games, and we are obliged to do the correct by them. Thank you for drawing it to our attention.”

We hope that the table includes a financial indicator and credit in the table. “

While plagiarism is a huge non-no, accepting inspiration and copying the idea is almost inevitable. Of course, it can be said that art is constantly developing and derived from previous works to obtain inspiration. You can easily attract the line back to the Wipeout series to get the style of their glyphs and general projects, and Artistic Director Marathon Joseph Cross publicly noticed Mirror’s Edge, Ghost in the Shell and others as inspiration.

All this is deeply disappointing because Bungie was caught doing similar things in the past. In 2021 Bungie used the art of fans in the trailer of Destiny 2then Another interruption of the Destiny 2 cutscene in 2023and then he finished compensating the artist after using work for the physical Destiny 2 Nerf Blaster.
