Artist Shocked To Find Her Poster Designs From 2017 In Bungie's Marathon: 'A Major Company Has Deemed It Easier To Pay A Designer To Imitate Or Steal My Work Than To Write Me An Email' [Update]

I've lost all respect for Bungie at this point. Their games have been shit for a few years, but this is a really low bar...
Apparently it's a former Bungie artist that included stolen work in internal assets and didn't tell anyone.
For once, it sounds like a genuine "oh f*k", and not corporate excuses.
What we can hope is that the actual artist behind the art gets compensated for their work, and that the assets get replaced if they ask for it. -

Happens all the time. Usually it doesn't get picked up like this and they just get away with it. Source: It happened to me under a different, purely SFW name. I tried to bring it forward, to get the company to acknowledge it, to get gaming publications involved, no one cared. It's part of why I left digital art behind.

Oh and of course it's another extraction shooter.
Now they'll blame their failure on that bad buzz instead of admitting it was only a cash grab attempt.

Okay, maybe you're not the right person to ask, but what's the rub with extraction shooters? I've never played one, but I'm seeing them pop up, and they look good. The concept sounds intriguing, so why do you, at least, say they are not good?

You can post context and the art so that at least we would know.

I’m not anti extraction shooter. It’s just that when I read that I can’t stop thinking about"ok so bungie did a Ubi(soft)"
Meaning they made a game because it is trendy and they can keep it going as a live service, selling tons of battle passes and cosmetics. This reeks game being made out of C suits economic interests and not out of love for games.
And just like Ubi, they jumped on the hype train two years late, most probably because some corporate analysts said "there’s shit ton of money to make, that’s what the public wants"
Except that I’m fairly certain 75% of the players don’t want another live service extraction shooter, they would prefer a new IP born out of love for gaming.

I've shared it in the past, even have a writeup about it on some of my profiles. Not wanting to associate it with this account. I still do mostly safe stuff on YouTube under that name, and I do fucking inflation porn under this one.

Are they going to try to blame this on Alberto Mielgo?

A monied entity who likes to steal of one's labour. Shocking.
