People are free to care about it."I don't care about the thing, so no one else can care about the thing either!"
Walk away from the keyboard, my guy.
That's what happens when you cheap out and hire Udemy and autodidact designers.There is always a "former" something, never an "actual" something....

My comments were aimed at 2 specific people who believe I'm on some Woke-crusade or whatever.
But if people butt in, then it probably looks like I'm going against everyone.
It is funny, because why do others care if it doesn't affect them in any way?
As I stated above, I was saying Bungie should correct their mistake.I just don't understand what you're doing in this thread.
Where's the plagiarism? There must be hundreds of other arts from hundreds of other artists with the same style. Heck, probably the one claiming theft has done the same to the others.
And you know. This allows Bungie to scapegoat the guy. Essentially they are saying here that they have done nothing wrong.There is always a "former" something, never an "actual" something....

*except for when we sell to the Middle East and Asian territories.How can I tell you that it is not about you, what you think, or what you believe? Your dismissal or downplaying of this situation is not only irrelevant but inconsequential.
Bungie is facing catastrophic PR. it's even more funny when this company praises itself as being an ally, inclusive and representative, Pride flags, trans flags and all that bullshit

A smart lawyer should take the job, if you are capable it should not be hard to prove plagiarism and get a couple of millions from sony.The only reason these big corporate studios get away with this is because their legal teams can cover their asses and beat smaller and less known artists without much hassle. Have to give credit to the guy, I dig the designs. Wasn't aware I was actually praising it indirectly through positive impressions about the game's visual aesthetics.
So how are they offering to do right by the artist?
that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game.

I like how they deflect to the "rogue employee" narrative, despite multiple artists, including Joseph Cross, all have followed this artist with no communication for years.
That's actually the name that elon chose for his son with grimes before switching back to X Æ A-12.lol are you serious?
Yeah buddy, "Aleph Dark-Space haulage logistic". Such a natural and common phrase that's probably used by hundreds of artists lol.
They didn't "take inspiration" from someone else's art to make something similar, they straight up just took their stuff and put it in the game.
It's an insult to one's intelligence to suggest all this is caused by one employee who secretly lifted all these assets. The plagiarism is so deeply engrained in every aspect of the game (textures, logo designs, interface, visual design, aesthetics, etc) that saying this was an oopsie by one employee that just went by everyone unnoticed is comically absurd.
All the more because like five people from the dev team followed the person who made the original artworks.
Saying it was done by one employee makes the whole thing even worse because everyone can see that's just not true.

no, that's not true.Art is like music. there has been so much m Ade that's it is nearly impossible to not recreate something someone else has made before.

So...is this still going to happen?
Right down to the artist's signature. I mean, literally. Not a motif. His literal signature.This wasn't remade. Many assets were stolen and used. Not their likeness, but a 1:1 copy.

Im just saying general.. someone was first to create a line. someone was first to create a check mark, a square, a smiley face, a peace sign, a futanari furry orgy scene ...
no one nowadays is ever first to create something truly new.
