MARATHON GETTING SHITCANNED TODAY

BCD LIVE STREAM GOING LIVE IN AN HOUR

SHILLS ONLY

WILL BE LIVE TWEETED

ANON WAS RIGHT

VIDYA KWABOTY 2025 HAS BEEN LOCKED IN

what the hell does any of this mean

NUCLEAR MELTDOWN IMMINENT

Blue lips SEXO

Marathon? More like SPEEDRUN TO FAILURE LMAO

AND THE KWAB OF THE YEAR GOES TO

Marathoning to cancelation.

bro just lock in on god frfr nc

I want to fuck this plastic doll and her smooth featureless crotch

BCD = behind closed doors
shills = paid advertisers
live tweeted = transcribed on X since it's not a public stream
anon was right = an anon made a thread claiming to be a Bungie employee saying their game director was given the axe and that Sony directly cancelling the game to avoid a plagiarism suit

Holy BASED
God I need to find an artist asap to make this synthetic BITCH worship human men

KWABOTY

I too watch the roach man

does nothing

wins

STOP HE'S BECOMING TOO POWERFUL

nuclear keks if real

A Dark Soulslike FPS using this setting and bringing back Durandal and maybe Robert Blake was wasted for this slop.

all this marathon talk somehow led to me wanting to get back into tarkov

FUUCCCKKK THE ITCH IS KICKING I NEED TO GO BACK TO RESERVE

Godspeed anon

Soon TM, I have an Idea, I just need an artist (i mentioned one in a previous thread but his slots are closed ATM) and for me to work on a google doc
All I'll say, lots of messy smeary lipstick marks

nothing ever happens retards

yfw you didn't waste billions of dollars purchasing Bungie

CONCORD 2, BAYBEEE

really dodged a bullet there

At least chat GPT knows what KWAB is

Has it reached that far? It's crazy how much Anon Babble has been influencing this site as of recent.

SELL YOUR IP TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN FUCKING CODE YOU FAGGOT

Bro cooked w

EFT 1.0 is releasing by the end of the year.

So if this is true then I have to ask. Did one of you gain wizard powers and instead of magicking up a big tittied hommunculus gf you decided to cast a grand curse on the gaming industry instead? Because that's the only thing that can explain the last year or so.

Must be a follower for a month

kek what botch of the year

kek what a bitch of the year

FTFY
t. the guy who came up with it

IT'S LIVE

OH NO THEY'VE GOT BOOBOO FACES
IT'S OVER

I'll give it to them, they showed up despite the massive shitstorm coming at them

So what is Sony gonna do with Bungie now?

There is no way they cancel the game over this, even if the troon did move forward with a lawsuit settling it with very generous terms would waste a fraction of the amount of money that canning the game would. I do predict a significant delay though.

Oh no no no bros

Rate the vibes.

I guess we'll see this game in 2029

holy shit they look like they're going to commit suicide LMAO

IT'S OVER/10

Nervous/10

live hanging/10

bad friends podcast at home

WHERE'S THE FUCKING LINK

suddenly

Vile/10

Where can this be watched?

haters btfo
marathon is saved

"fuck sake let's just get this over and done with as fast as possible"/10 (so like 2.7/10)

How's the stolen art assets going?

twitch.tv/marathonthegame
twitch.tv/marathonthegame
twitch.tv/marathonthegame

Grim

Where is the link

Even a blind dude would feel the "unpaid overtime crunch" emanating from this picture lmao

I predict a 6 month delay

Their youtube channel is the better option

why don't they just make it free to play

There's a 0% chance they cancel this shit, they're already in the hole hundreds of millions. Unless the suit would significantly wipe out ANY profit they could possibly make they are going to release this turd and then give the affected artist a lump sum with royalties. Make no mistake that suit is going to hurt them, but not as badly as just canning the game.

I wish every thread had zoomer zombie speak translators like this.

if only you knew

DOA/10

nothing ever happens

Ah my bad, you could've linked it at least

It kinda looks like she just has her mouth open like a retard kek

Running online games costs money, and so does actually shipping units. If the game is going to bomb anyway there's no money to be made. Think the difference between Concord and Hyena's.

Same energy

The art director looks like he knows his career is over, look into those eyes.

the leaker lied

the last thing you see before the suiciders get you

Because they're taking a page out of Concord's book, due to how successful that game was.

if only you knew

how "inspired" things really are

What's there to hide? They admitted to it at the start of the stream and they had in game screenshots.

a. no one wants to play it even for free
b. sony wants PS+ sub money and can't require a PS+ subscription on a F2P game (there are some exceptions but they'd lose face badly if they did it on a first-party game)

He was probably the one who actually put those stolen assets in there isn't he?

I KNOW
I KNOW I'VE LET YOU DOWN
I'VE BEEN A FOOL TO MYSELF

Apparently a lot of the art team were following the artist including him, heads are gonna roll.

Fire this audio guy holy shit

How likely is it that they outsourced the art to a foreign country and that the people in that foreign country were the ones who just copy pasted someone else’s art, and how likely is it that that foreign country was India

No, the "leaked" claim was that they were cancelling the game.

dont trust men that wear blank baseball caps

The look of a man that got no sleep the night before.

Who was supposed to be the market audience for this metrosexual chinese re-imagining of a space shooter?

I'm getting more 'spiraling out of control functional alcoholic' but tomato tomato

even if he wasn't, he had to sign off on it so it's on his head
he looks like every time he's not the focus, his mind is going through every second he's spent at work for the last five years or something and trying to think of the exact moment where this could've been avoided

PLAGIARISM_WILL_MAKE_ME_GOD

PLAGIARISM_WILL_MAKE_ME_GOD

PLAGIARISM_WILL_MAKE_ME_GOD

PLAGIARISM_WILL_MAKE_ME_GOD

really impressed, i dont think theres ever been a dev silently reading all the its over comments live on stream before.

Chuds and troons btfo again. Looks like nothing will happen. Marathon is the most hyped game and ya'll are mad

change the name to Art Raiders

Never trust a man that wears a hat

doesn't sound like they're shitcanning it if they're wasting time on what they're doing

50/50 honestly.

The complicating factor is that the art director (guy who looks suicidal on stream) followed the troon who's stuff was directly copy/pasted

IS THE AUDIO ENGINEER IN THE ROOM WITH US NOW?

makes him participate in a humiliation ritual and tells him to get the fuck out as soon as the stream ends

Based, if only they treated everyone else at modern Bungie the same. Fuck these incompetent retards.

cancelling the game to avoid a plagiarism suit

Bullshit, they could easily settle. But if they expect it to flop, it would be an excuse to cancel it and save themselves the humiliation.

100%
The issue is that they were told to do that by the higher ups i.e. the art director who pointed them at the artists page

unlikely - bungie lead artists were following the artist they stole shit from on tweeters (currently x)

metrosexual chinese re-imagining of a space shooter

It is unironically 100% laser focused for my aesthetic tastes and plastic doll sex but it's gonna suck

This shit is so bad they should steal some audio settings from some other stream holy fuck

All this trouble for an artstyle that doesn't even translate to in game. The alpha looked like a low quality Roblox mini game.

how is this bcd?

Still Tony

Unlikely
it's actual Bungie employees doing it

Presumably due to being screamed at by some superior, trying to scapegoat an inferior, and being coached rigorously on VERY careful phrasing to use and avoid today.

KWAB
KWABOTY
KWABOTD
KWABOTC
KWABOTM
KWABOTE

everything they're saying sounds fucking awful is this really the level of talent at Bungie?

They were pretty upfront that it wasn't someone external - it was an internal employee who fucked this up in 2020, and then a later failure in not having a rigorous check of old assets - though they didn't say that second part because it'd be taking responsibility as a current employee.

This is an actual humiliation ritual, holy fuck. It has to be intentional sabotage by this point.

careful anon, you might summon hogwheels

It's a great scapegoat, but it starts to wear thin after the first few scandals

they know that the game is doa even without the art theft.
zero/negative interest for a niche genre + arc raiders.
its a death sentence.

JUST

are we unironically watching a bungie marketing streamm

When taking heat, blame the pajeet!

That is the corpo middle manager motto.

not even 1000 people watching

entire chat laughing and constantly comparing it to concord and talking about stolen art

stream quality is absolute dogshit

lmao

no this is the bungie suicide watch

Schadenfreude is wonderful, anon.

one eye on my life

one eye on the streets

No, we are watching a trainwreck.

Seeing people humiliate themselves live satisfies my evil

give it up for bootlicker 9000

”Art Raiders”

it kinda is
most companies would just put out a generic PR statement and ignore it till it went away

copy-paste game, copy-paste artstyle, copy-paste apology video

i left when they started shilling their work, looks like OP is a faggot once again

the plagiarism shit while funny is a complete nothing burger. They will replace the handful of assets in question, reprimand the employee if it was intentional and that's it. Them paying the artist some money is purely a reaction to retarded community, they have no legal obligations in that regard and there is no case if that person attempted to sue

the game does look like shit as is though and launch is going to be a disaster if it doesn't get pushed back or they were secretly hiding 90% of the content

he sounds like he's on the verge of tears

STUPID FUCKING MISTAKE!

you can hear the pain in his voice

Brutal

handful

the entire visual style is built off of stolen art, you can't just replace that. There's not even a case for reasonable doubt because the artist's name is still in some of the art.

Extraction shooters? Plagiarism? Sony buyout?
What are you talking about anon, new Destiny leaks just dropped!
This is gonna be sick!

he's dead inside, it's so over

ads

fucking unbelievable

I work at a major financial institution, the day before we have any meetings I make sure to take a fuckton of sleeping medication and sleep like 12 hours, then wake up early and take a nice hot shower and clean myself up. But then I suppose this guy probably has had weeks if not months of hard days, so a good night's rest alone probably isn't enough to clear that up lol

You're a genuine nigger with the brain of an ape.

why on earth did they think this stream was a good idea

dude i'm gonna main a warlock!

art style cannot be stolen so that is irrelevant. not that it matters since the artist who had the assets taken from them was not the originator of that style anyways, its been around since the 80's

probably contractually obliged/some agreed ad or something

it was supposed to come out last week, but got delayed. it'd look worse to delay it twice i guess

still Tony

It's probably someone's punishment.

Is there any reason why this is a livestream instead of a pre recorded video, besides publicly humiliating the producers?

Right

for he hides a bald head of lies

Don't...

Because there is no winning. If they cancelled the stream, everyone would blow up saying they are hiding. So they scrapped the gameplay and started with an explanation/apology.
I kind of feel bad for the dude, he didn't steal the art, some idiot on their team did. But not properly vetting submitted work falls on him

The chat not being patrolled by some ban happy troon isn't doing any favors towards the plummeting morale.

yfw Sony closes bungie next year

it's a nothingburger...

so what's the story, something to do with stolen assets?

Because it's already over

I have seen people look exactly like this when they are getting read their final bullshit by HR before getting canned. This dude looks like he's questioning his entire life up to this point. Fucking rough man.

The fact that the chat is open at all is insane.

I'm gonna be Titan!
Aren't you excited? I can't wait to see the expansive worlds and locations within them! I wonder who this guy is!

their stockholders would buy guillotines and demand the heads of PS execs

Eh, I've also heard Art Directors are notorious for being dickwaving idiots. If Bungie hadn't had multiple identical scandals in recent history then maybe

SAAR HE DIDNT STEALTH THE ART, IT WAS HIS DIRECT SUBBORDINATE, SO ITS INNOCENT SAR

Well guys... I guess that's it...

God I wish

my life is over

All fucking hands are probably on deck right now trying to address the art theft (on top of the already poor reception to the closed alpha) behind the scenes. Of course, maybe if Pete didn't fire 320 people last year to buy a few million bucks' worth of old cars, they probably could spare some chat jannies.

This is the kind of look you'd get after a tour of duty in the Ho Chi Minh trail.

Its like the 5th time they did something like this but this time its so much worse.

Yeah man i can't wait to dig into the lore while ingame, is gonna be another wow!

Someone needs to pull him out before he goes postal.

I just wanted a cool single player FPS modern Marathon game. They still could've bolted on MP to it.

this has to be a fetish, you can tell they are looking for anything positive, even the guy on the left pretending to smile also breaks from time to time

trying too hard. I didn't say he was innocent

GaaS bleed a lot of money overtime when unplayed, the upfront cost is only a fraction. Clearly this thing had a 6 gazillion budget despite the results, snoy would be business savvy to axe it which means they won't.

literally the only thing normies like about the game is the art style

its all stolen

Kek

qrd?

"Grandpa, what happened during the war?"

The entire team has been caught following this trannoid's art, it's literally fucking over dude. They're gonna have to nuke the entire department, this guy almost surely signed off on everything. There's no way they don't have conversations on Slack, Teams, etc. SOMEWHERE that will be revealed in the ensuing suit that reveal they were all aware of the theft.

well? strawpoll.com/XOgOVrAWon3 What's the new name anons?

it sure is convenient bungie always has a revolving door of outsourced jeets to launder their art theft.

you can't possibly ensure someone else's work isn't actually something they downloaded from a random tumblr account from 2014.
post your shit online where anyone can right click and save, it's officially public domain. doesn't make it right but ownership is blurry as fuck these days IMO

blatant copy pasting artwork

You're a sick son of a bitch, I would like to see some examples of this however.

Awake but at what cost?

The artstyle is shit though, It could have been done well, but the game looks fucking terrible.
They could have atleast stolen a less cancerous artstyle.

five trillion dead extraction shooters

only two are profitable, maybe one more soon

yet they keep pumping them out hoping to hit the jackpot

why even develop games in the first place? just gamble on shitcoins

what was stolen?

you can't possibly ensure someone else's work isn't actually something they downloaded from a random tumblr account from 2014.

"Hey nice artwork. How'd you come up with it?"

Every time they get caught doing this the chances of them and companies who work for/own them losing a plagiarism lawsuit drastically increases so Sony higher-ups must be fuming at them rn

Humiliation ritual in real time

It's never been more over

I get the vibes of "please don't do this... Mike". But without a reversal up his sleeve.

My fucking sides

Why would they? Shareholders would be rejoicing on sony saving the money they have rather then letting it continue to burn with bungie/marathon

everyone knows that Tarkov is the Myspace of extraction shooters, a janky piece of shit to be replaced by a Facebook. But the question is who is going to be the one to make it.

The game artstyle isnt something amazing but it works so well on these girls
suicide watch the nigga on the right

MEGA KWAB

kek

A few stolen art assets that can be replaced with legally distinct alternatives are not enough for them to cancel a game like this.

Ir would work on a single-player game (like Wipeout did) but for a multiplayer its gonna get repetitive and boring real fast, both for devs and players

they have no legal obligations in that regard

Hahahaha is this nigga serious

We have a lot of questions from chat

KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

his hopes and dreams: gone

THEY'RE TAKING QUESTIONS FROM CHAT OH NO

he keeps looking back down on the chat

You stupid bastard

there is no fucking way they are also doing question about art
this shit is public execution

if i were sony, i'd cancel it anyway because it's double tainted, and obviously going to flop, which would also be a double flop.
sony GAAS are beyond cursed

you missed VIDYA KWABOTY 2025 which i am still unable to decipher

This shit is so vile bro I might even start feeling bad for the art director lmao

qrd? who is this sòylennial

Humiliation ritual

Half their art team follows the tranny who made the art so xhe could sue them "dor stealing xher whole flow without paying a cent"

What does kwab mean? I hate how everyone started to use this word for no reason and I don't know that it means.

Lmao

Based explainon

lol lmao

Vidya kek what a bitch of the year

Art Raiders

this is a public hanging

bros...

kwab = kek what a bitch

trying to downplay how much is stolen

viewers arent buying it

the art director of the game

they're digging into him now

Oh boy here we go

the release date is in september, the game is functionally art complete at this point. There is nothing they can really change.

KWAB

What
Who

What are any of you zoomers talking about
Speak human

Is that Tim Heidecker on the right?

They might postpone launch for another year. GTAVI launch announcement fucked up everyone's schedule.

and?
fuck him

vidya kwaboty 2025 = video game kek what a bitch of the year of the current year 2025, which basically translates to biggest fumble of the year

small set of assets

kevin was anally blasted

Borderline in tears from laughter.

So how many thousands of stolen assets stare is this?

i absolutely cannot believe they're actually taking questions from chat grilling them about the plagiarism on the fly lmao what the fuck this really is an unironic humiliation ritual

KEK

post your shit online where anyone can right click and save, it's officially public domain

This is not true at all, where did you hear this from?

Did I miss anything funny so far?

THEFT_WILL_MAKE_ME_FLOP

kek I'm gonna use that one

Dude's on the verge of crying holy shit

Over 9000

Here we go boys, SS TORtanic is in port again
youtube.com/watch?v=Wukj8jHo14g

I can't believe we'll see Sony DIE this year

i would rather play a clown girl shooter

BUNGIE ARE ON THE LAST CHOPPER OUT OF SAIGON I'M HAVING IT UP THE ARSE WITH HO CHI MINH

We're confident alot of our assets are original, please ignore the fact that we said we'd delay showing assets due to the possibility of them being unoriginal.

they are contractually obliged to do a specific amount of livestreams as a part of their advertising.

This is Indian on troon violence. White men are blamed somehow

I'm getting second hand embarrassment holy fuck

HE'S TYPING IN CHAT

Learn how YOU can steal art like us RAIDERS

graphic realism? more like graphic stealism

Indian

A fuckton of Aryan White Bungie employees were openly following that artist on xitter, the pajeets are innocent this time.

I feel bad for the guy, its probably not even his fault directly

even fucking namedropped Antireal. The person they stole from.

We don't want to be "the halo guys" anymore

oh fuck go back

and obviously going to flop

This. The writing on the wall is crystal clear. I'm sure it'll have some shill defenders claiming it's "better than what you've been told" or "a unique and interesting spin on the extraction shooter genre" but I don't see this coming out with any sort of excitement or fanfare.

Wouldn't postponing it a year just put them right next to GTA? They'd have to postpone it 1.5 or even 2 years, the longer they wait to get this out the door the more money they'll lose to it when it does eventually release. Though I can't imagine this being popular by the time GTA VI comes out next year

Hunt Showdown already exists.

lol Nexon couldn't have timed the release of this any better

There's a zero percent chance that there will be a plagiarism suit. The damages from using this guy's artwork are minimal and anything he'd be awarded would be vastly outscaled by legal fees, which Sony would happily run up to bleed him out.

Whats funny is that Marathon is supposed to be important to Bungie and they've been working on it for like 20 years. They've got to be mind broken at the reception and the inevitable flop but they're too invested to cancel it.

Why didn't they just hire the tranny as a special consultant or something? Why steal his art then hope he wouldn't notice

Shut it down

Why did they thought it was a good idea to address the controversy? This has to be a humiliation fetish, the guy getting off live on youtube

yes. you only have a problem when you profit off of it. if they remove the assets and there was no enrichment based off of them, then there is no damage and nothing to be done legally. Even if this wasn't found until after the game was released and people were paying for it there would still be no problem as long as they replaced them because non-focal things like these random textures / decals are not what is being purchased, they are equivalent to the design of a house in the background of a movie, the studio did not find the architect and pay them for having the house in their shot. If it was a graphic T, box art, or something more central then sure there is merit but that's not the case and pretending otherwise is delusional

oh shit. My bad jeets. Looks like it was the white man's fault this time

working on it for like 20 years.

do you actually genuinely believe that?

He's the art director. It's his fucking job.

Dude looks like her got 2 hours sleep a day for the last 2 weeks

medium cardboard box thousands

It HAS to be huge. They killed their Destiny cash cow to squeeze out this turd that nobody wants. Not Destiny players. Not extraction shooter players. Not Halo players. Not casuals.

It's called an excuse. The game is going to bomb.

He's an art director, his career is over without turbo nepotism

Is he getting the boot?

steal his art then hope he wouldn't notice

That's literally it though.

Why do I feel bad

why? it's not his fault

HUNT is too hardcore for your average timmy who just wants to drop in and have fun. Way too hardcore.

Steal content people paid for

Can't even reproduce it for a court

Lmao what did they do, Thanos snap it out of existence? The power of always online games.

WE DID IT REDDIT

nta but how familiar are you with the legal system in this regard?

KWAB has been a thing for years get with the program

Bro the random textures/decals are part of the game that they are making a profit from, the artist is absolutely entitled to a portion of those profits and you are high as fuck if you think it's irregular for a plagiarized artist to sue and make money from a company for doing this

WAKE UP AND... STEAL THE ASSETS

Microsoft is going to buy bungie back after this flop

lol

Shit's embarrassing. It's a live humiliation ritual.

It's absolutely his fault. He didn't keep his employees on a leash and stop them from plagiarism before they got out of the concept phase.

and they've been working on it for like 20 years

How retarded are you to believe that.

anon was right = an anon made a thread claiming to be a Bungie employee saying their game director was given the axe and that Sony directly cancelling the game to avoid a plagiarism suit

ARCHIVE LINK???? HELLO?

lmao

Please learn English

this
his only job is vetting other peoples' work

Fucking lol

don't
bungie deserve worse
t. destinyfag

We are rapidly approaching struggle session levels of humiliation. Dude looks like he's about to rope.

Either he was involved in the theft or he completely shirked his duties. There's no good answer for him.
And most certainly not legacy Marathon fans.
If he didn't get booted after skimming money off the Sony acquisition for his car collection, this won't hurt him either.

Yeah, he was just getting five digits monthly payment for years, he dindu muffin.
What's wrong with you and your unrealistic expectations of art director actually directing the art, this is so eww, touch grass.

We're breaking out the vintage memes for this one

I hope somebody makes a supper-cut that's just close-ups of the dead-inside dude's face.

oh god my sides

What if the game is actually really good

Ignore it, it's some retard from Anon Babble that has been trying to force his epic maymay for years now.

instead of fully closing it, they'll probably just lay off almost everyone and keep a skeleton crew to maintain destiny until its profits completely dry up.

can a brother get a qrd on why people are turning against this game? I thought people were hyped

He looks so miserable precisely because it's his fault and there's no way to weasel out

KEK
microsoft doesnt need them, they need microsoft

Those comments

here you go

Can someone post examples of the stolen art instead of just his face 4 times in a row?

Scrap the art team's work! We're going to twitter!

'Kill whites and blacks'

You know we've seen actual gameplay of the video game right? Everyone was able to spot bland uninspired garbvage the moment it got revealed.

and they've been working on it for like 20 years.

Imagine scrapping several attemps over the years and thinking this is the good one.

This version of marathon is about 6 years old (as an extraction mod of D2) but has been rebooted several times internally, and the current version is approx 2.5 years old. It is not 20 years old.

It's a guarenteed flop cause sony will 100% push it no matter how bad it is at this point, they want a return on their 3.7b buyout from their GAAS masterminds.

Reminder sony paid 3.6b for this.

"Can't wait to play your game Bungie :D" is that what they really expected after a month of people calling their game liquid dogshit after all of the gameplay/closed beta? They're literally a half a decade late to the trannycore looter shooter party

*cums*

Noooo not the poor hecking guy who it's literally his direct responsibility :((((((((((

I actually can't watch this. It's physically painful. It's like watching a rape, and no one is consenting.

just ignore the part where the game isn't for sale and won't contain the assets in question when it is for sale

like I said though, it's irrelevant even if it was purchasable at this point. you have to PROVE that
a. no action was taken as soon as the problem was discovered to remove the assets
b. the company was enriched by those particular assets.
they've done a. and for b. no one NO ONE is buying a game because of a specific decal they saw on a wall, or the way the grass blades are textured, the argument will never hold merit for something like this

fr down bad quirked up bombastic busting it down goated with the sauce

Honestly, it's kinda depressing that this is all tied to Marathon, a niche series with some of the most beautiful writing i've ever seen from a game, which you could consider art in itself.

Is the art direction not enough to give you a hint?

Back in 2016 Anon Babble used meme magic to unify the collective conscious of sixty million Americans and a few thousand Europeans to summon an ancient chaos god to get Donald Trump elected for laughs. The ramifications of that summoning are still being felt across humanity Every time you see some absolutely wild, unbelievable shit that's somehow even wilder than the unbelievable shit you saw the week before, it's thanks that chaos god. It will probably only get worse in your lifetime. Or better, depending on your perspective.

Here's a kekworthy example, she hid Loss in some of the stuff she did and of course, it's been faithfully reproduced

Can someone post examples of the stolen art instead of just his face 4 times in a row?

Not my problem.
Getting new car

Who is the sad guy in the hat and what's his role in development? Because he looks utterly defeated

Maybe you should open your tablet and start drawing

you could hear him briefly sucking up a cry

This is getting brutal now

"I'm very excited for the cosmetic side"

face of someone who is about to get shot in the desert by the mexican cartel

he was the art director, in fact he was also the one following the plagirarized artist

They poisoned him

they deserve it but it anyone with a bit of empathy can even start to feel a bit bad
fuck them tho

OUR CHARACTERS HAVE SUCH A UNIQUE LOOK

Thanks, ChatGPT

The comments are flooding in! We've been compromised!

they are deleting comments

LAMO

A combination of robot_girl, faceless and featureless_crotch does the trick

This is the guy on stream

Why should I feel bad when clearly he should have known exactly what was being done?
Actions, as always, have consequences.

What's Tony Pizzaguy doing there?

the retard directly follows the artist they stole from, try harder nigger

I identify myself as a stolen art

Lmao

If you're going to sit around for an hour and spin this dull as fucking yarn at least pretend to be enthusiastic with your bullshitting.

IT'S SNOYOVER AND IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENIG FOR REAL
ACCELERATE

they forced naughty dog to scrap like 5 years of work on Factions 2 as well.

What are you talking about? They lifted the artist's entire design philosophy for the game, it could be easily argued that this was a major factor in their enrichment if it remains in the game. They will absolutely settle out of court rather than letting this go forward, and the artist involved will be able to easily find a firm that will take this on contingency.

allegedly

They admitted it though.

Steal whole artist work

pretend it's yours

Common Bungie L

If he knew about it he wouldnt look so fucked up rn

Make this game f2p or its dead

no mind is not about what they done, but being in that position but fuck that, like you said, actions and consequences

What hid "Loss" mean? Is that the person's name? Is it their logo? Is it a symbol? I don't see in that screenshot. I'm 100% sure plagiarism occurred but can zoomers please learn how to communicate

That could also be a convenient excuse to cut their losses since the game was already facing very bad press because of the pretty predatory monetization scheme + the last playtest got generally bad feedback from most people who played it.

ART DIRECTION IS A MYSTERY
STOLEN ASSETS NO ONE SEES
CLOSED ALPHAS FOOL ART HISTORY

PRE-ALPHA WAS SO LONG AGO
DON'T THINK I CAN GO WITH JOE
TOMORROW COMES, NO JOB FOR ME

I SEE THE LINES IN THE WETLAND
TIME TO FIND OUT IF IM BANNED

LOOKIN' BACK TO SEE HOW STILL STANS
BUNGIE DRONES
BUNGIE DROOOOOONES

Your threadly reminder that Sony bought Bungie for $3.6 billion.
For comparison's sake, Microsoft bought Mojang (which includes Minecraft) for $2.5 billion and Bethesda (which includes all its studios and all its IPs like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, etc) for $7.6 billion. Disney bought Lucasfilm (which includes Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and LucasArts) for $4 billion.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS SONY THINKING?

he stole Max Verstappen's assets too

they outsource art to jeets and link them artists they want material of reproduced without having to pay the real artist real money
surprise when they do jeet shit and just plagiarize art, even leaving in signatures and watermarks
this has happened to them 5 times now

allegedly paid an artist like one time to use their art years ago for destiny and then the art team has just effectively been wholeass stealing all of that persons art for the last few years without asking them or crediting them.

why not just hire someone that cal follow The Designers' Republic style

Spend 4b on Bungie

So they can get caught stealing from an artist because she hid FUCKING LOSS in her art

The simulation is breaking down

Holy fucking newfag, I will spoonfeed you lil guy

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(Ctrl+Alt+Del)

There's a 0% chance they cancel this shit, they're already in the hole hundreds of millions.

Concord went this exact way less than a year ago.

Newfag

loss is zoomer now

you need to lurk 20 more years

He was following the fucking guy on twitter, he knew exactly what was going on.

tried too hard with your bait bro

person who doesn't know what loss is complaining about zoomers

thats a jester, anon

he keeps looking at chat

My fucking sides

going F2P only helps your game if people want to play it. it's going to be taken out back shortly like concord and hyenas before it.

oh my fucking god you people are retarded
art STYLE cannot be copyrighted or owned, you are allowed to "STEAL" it, there is nothing protected about an art style, not that it matters because this particular artists was not the creator of this style in the first place so it's completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the assets, which are being removed, and there are no damages over.

mutual rape hentai is underrated especially Anon Babble

so who is the Baz of MARATHON?

Did he cry or what
is it still happening

Bungie told sony that they made halo and were worth 3.6 billys

It wasn't just the one that had Loss scribbled in, there are multiple examples of her work being literally copypasted wholesale

Him remembering he follows the artist they stole from

humiliation ritual

I want to fuck this hag goat.

the artist could sue for unlicensed use of their work in promotional material but they won't because they are a stupid Twitter troon

it's ok anon, Asmongold didn't know what Loss meant either

and it was glorious

right before i said this I said out loud "i know someone wants to dick the shit out of this robot lady," glad it did not take long to find that someone

They bought this instead of Square Enix.

The guy crumbling live on stream

Holy shit. Actually 100% plagiarism without a fraction of a doubt. Fucking kekerino. If the game wasn't already DOA from its reveal alone, this will 100% shovel the dirt onto its grave.

This is the attempt at Marathon that they didn't throw in the garbage

honk honk

Corporate wanted to jerk their nuts over some good ole fashioned humiliation rituals

Would it be more damning if they all unfollowed at this point?

marathon

the most beautiful writing i've ever seen from a game

what an incredibly low bar.

they bought this instead of Cacom and getting MH exclusive

I'M WAKING UP
TO ASH AND DUST

Maybe you should head back to Bluesky or reddit

I WIPE MY ASS
AND I SLAP MY NUTS

Okay let's be honest here, what went so horribly wrong?

they can try and they will fail because there is NO DAMAGE they can issue DMCA takedowns on promotional material containing the assets which would be completely valid

guess they'll have to do back to the original plans they had for destiny mobile

I don't want to watch the livestream, give me a qrd of how hard they're trying to damage control please

If anyone can show me these fag lines in any Anon Babble archive, I will concede.

Reminder Bungie ripped off some guy's story for Destiny 2

Bungie got bored of making halo, so they left microsoft to make their own halo but MMO twice, then they got bought out by snoy to make them a halo so they went back to the IP that inspired halo and made it an extraction shooter.

Hot take but i think they should have stuck with microsoft if they were going to go horseshoe theory on their own history.

Unironically will this game actually be DOA? Bungie still has a large fanbase.

Lack of oversight. Or just not caring that you're plagiarizing someone, which given how utterly devoid of creativity this game looks as a whole, wouldn't surprise me.

Has the guy on the right uttered a single word? He looks fucking suicidal.

1/10.

I'M BREATHING IN
MY GENITALS

I'M KEKING IN
CRINGING OUT

No you won't, you're a massive faggot wasting everybody's time for not shutting the fuck up and lurking moar. We're not going to spoonfeed you even more you queer stop posting

Sometimes you don't need more

On PC for sure. Graphically the game looks like something from 2008.

Posting loss could (maybe still can) get you banned during the peak of this meme dear newfriend

all they had to do was be faithful to the original.

steal some assets

slap them on your new game

premier the game

people are shitting all over it saying it looks like dogshit

you weren't even the one who made the assets in the first place

you will still however take the fall for everything

That's like accounting for the worst case scenario before robbing a bank only for it to go even worse than that.

Multi-player only slop, no Marty, extraction shooter, odd art style.

That makes me think of a happy merchant tho

With all the controversy likely so
They would have to drastically turn things around
Possible but not likely

familiar enough, I do game dev as a hobby and went down the rabbit hole when I hired an artist for the first time. part of that was getting a lawyer to help me draw up a contract and understanding my exposure in regards to material I get from the artist

This is just the merchant

this is like watching a live mini tortanic. you love to see it.

YOU GOT IT WRRRRRRRONG YOU WORTHLESS WIMP!

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
ITS COMING SOON FOR US
HOW MUCH CAN WE ACHIEVE

He has said his pieces while stiffing a few hiccups. What he hasn't done is smiled with a shit eating grin like his latinx mate has done for the whole show.

Destiny was also briefly published by Activision, who had to reign in Bungie's judaism. Yes, fucking ACTIVISION was the lesser of two jews.

is this a foot fetish post

SE releases enough flops on their own. remember chocobo GP and foamstars?

hand visibly shaking while drinking

Bungie doesn't exist anymore. Who's still there other than Seropian? He's like the mad old king in the castle.

a lot of people seem to think so.

they made him anwser questions about the stolen art lmao

Not falling for it. Next you'll be asking me to spam pictures of the Venice Carnival.

Has he said a single word!? Why the fuck did they get this mega-autist on stream he looks like he'd give his right hand to make it stop...

This is the type of cringe that I take hits off of like heroin. So good.

"omg i am le oldfeg xDDD"

I accept your concession.

Yep playing this will just result in being mocked and zoomies are deathly afraid of ridicule

tis real chat?

I think it's a repeat of the psychology behind 'bioware magic'

and this is after concord too.
just imagine the pressure to succeed, and then you're the studio who shits out a turd and then gets caught plagiarizing (AGAIN)
lmao'ing @ the AAA dumpster fire

Bungie never had any strategy to stop being the Halo company, it was all bullshit.

Shits crazy.

Poor bastard

You broke the rules. [Joe scoffs] You turned Antireal into your accessory. You embarrassed Jason Jones who, God help him, inexplicably vouched for you with Bungie. You made the Marathon team look like schmucks. Shall I go on? How he hasn't fired you for this positively mystifies me. "Perspective."

You want perspective? I'll give you mine. You're my brother, and I love you, but you're like an alcoholic who refuses to admit he's got a problem. Now someone's given you the keys to the AI prompts and I am not going to let you drive it off into a jeet art farm."
The art. is. sacred.

Square Enix is more than just their games division.

tfw you will never play Super Metroid on an old CRT TV while your hot gf in Samus cosplay sucks your dick and rides you from behind

why do we even live, just to suffer?

reminder that Bungie shut down TLoU Online because they didn't want competition in the extraction shooter space

He has, nothing too encouraging though. He also sounds like he's holding back tears.

bungie does it again
making an incredibly entertaining livestream
how do they do it

This is Anon Babble-borne slang, how the fuck have words like "shill" gone past you in the past decade+?

ITS OVER

the support

This guys gonna fucking pull out a ace of spades and blow his brains out.

kek/10 would watch this humiliation ritual again

he's having an out of body experience. I kind of feel bad for him because it probably was a lazy graphic design artist that fucked him.

cut the stream instantly

Someone is getting fucked tonight lmao

the last expression we'll see

YOU ARE THE ART DIRECTOR AND THE BOARD OF EXECTUVIES JUST CALLED YOU ON TEAMS AFTER THE STREAM
WHAT DO YOU SAY Anon Babble

that salute

farewell joe, we hardly knew ye

Your average timmy has Tarkov PvE now. Niggita won.

He came on solely to make the announcement, probably a last minute exec decision.
He should have very subtlely moved off-camera throughout the course of the stream, i don't think many people would have picked up on it.

COPYRIGHTS BROKEN
THE CHAT GOES UNSPOKEN
THEY'VE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY GAME

RIGHT ON RELEASE SEASON
I DON'T KNOW THE REASON
I'M STREAMING HERE TAKING MY BLAME

IT'S NOT ME THAT I FIRE

Didn't bungie hire saars? I bet they did this

one guy looks like he's going to kill himself

the other looks pretty please and babbling random shit to another faggot

Not a good look is it

LMAO

Kek'd

KWAB
BRUH THIS NIGGA COOKED ON GAWD

There's more they don't know about, shut it down

It's over.

brb Gensyoko

On a scale from Humiliation to Ritual how would you rate the stream?

o7

The art directors' suicidal expression disagrees with your logic.

Kino.

Run it through AI now. Put it to good work.

rest in piss

He's an art DIRECTOR, he's doing almost no art on his own, it's his fucking ONLY JOB to make sure everyone else making art are doing their jobs properly.

Retire to flip burgers in the middle of nowhere / 10

Good stuff lad

This wasn't a ritual.
A ritual implies a higher purpose.
This was just fucking butchery.
This was like watching a car crash.

they havent sold the game to anyone yet right? whats stopping them from just deleting the stolen shits and moving on

thanks, this made my day even more

11/10 would not watch again

Lel the fucking Peanuts message

Bungie just needs to die already, this is sad.

that's what they're doing

LOSS
I HOPE THEY MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD

Fucking lol

if they executed joseph live on stream with a chainsaw it would have been the same thing.

They need to delete the whole thing and start over. It's all tainted and probably stolen

Thats what the claim to be doing. But its most of the art style and design langauge.

This game comes out in like 4 and a half months.

They should delete the stolen shit ASAP and hope to god that they can move on without repercussions
You make it sound like a choice they might maybe make but really it should be the top priority of their art team right now

The audio quality was fucking horrendous throughout. You'd wonder if they were all chiming in with dixie cups.

I hope they do like a Rooster Teeth final stream when Bungie shuts down so all the staff members cry on camera

there was a similar situation with a game that at the tip of my tongue in the recent years I just cant remember what happened

Oh I finally understand the pic. That's obscure as fuck lol.

Medieval execution in digital format

Bro the whole damn GAME was built on this guy's art. There's no fucking way they can replace everything in under 4 months

They'll have to delay the game

joe (white) ziegler (eastern euro?)

is a fat spic

makes shit games

what is this unholy combo and fuck this guy for forcing fucking heros into this

THE MAN WITH THE SUIT NODS HIS HEAD

Bungiebros... are we getting taken behind the barn?

kek

the CoD skin?

I think its pretty unreasonable to expect him to verify every single piece of graphic design and cross reference it with the dozens and dozens of posters that artist made over the years. I think its kind of hacky how close it is to that work but that's how industry professionals behave, without the illegal ripping there wouldn't really be any controversy.

the responsibility that is probably actually crushing him is the amount of people saying the game looks like shit.

no images from tDR

Nike of all fucking things instead

This dude looks like a poser.

ASSETS
INFRINGING ON ME
ALL THAT I SEE

ABSOLUTE SLOP
I CANNOT COPY
I CANNOT PASTE

TRAPPED IN MY ALPHA
MY GAME WILL NOT SELL

I stole some shit from tranny in 2021. I didn't expect what this retarded faggots not kys himself in 5 years.

Damn short stream if it's already finished, they must've done the bare minimum

Ziegler is a common German-language surname meaning "brick-maker"

The entire aesthetic of the game is based around one online artist's portfoilio

They get caught cause the artist kept hiding loss in her work

Thanks B^U

Hehe

Don't worry guys i have a plan

troons out

Is this loss?

Yes

Warframe had a similar issues with temp assets lifted from Bioshock (DE worked on production for bioshock and the multiplayer) but the assets were never used in the finished version. A bug made them randomly appear with big text that said FROM BIOSHOCK and they had to scrub the entire game to get rid of them.

Monetary?
Yes

I love this site

Its embarrassing to post your actual references when you rip them off wholesale, it would be like kojima posting images of Snake Plissken. They used F1 instead because wipeout is an evolution of F1 and studio liverpool was an F1 developer at that time, its probably also bad form to post references of other games, makes you look lazy.

I think people should just own the fact that they are hacky.

a single guy owns NASApunk

not how that works

Except he (and multiple other Bungie artists) is following the artist they stole everything from on twitter.

They do when every single texture in your game is based on that guy's work.

Dignity?
Yes

Not just based on, shitty recolors with a little gaussian blur and the watermark sanded off.

Bro the whole damn GAME was built on this guy's art

No it wasn't, the style belongs to the designers republic if anyone. the bits that are identical are because they stole the assets.

Credibility?
Yes

the artstyle is 40 years old

That doesnt change anything. He's obviously a fan of that artist and gave them as a point of reference to the graphic designer who was a lazy retard that thought it would be a good idea to just steal shit instead of re-imagining it.

see you guys in september

sloppa

One down on the rung from literally just shooting them with a gun on stream.

If you make a F2P extraction game people will just drop the game after their first wipe

Inb4 kill

I doubt they have very good accounting of which assets were stolen and which are just in the same art style. Figuring that out alone may take weeks, and that's before even replacing them.

its no mystery, hunt down the guy who stole shit and then comb though his commits
