[Sad News] Marathon Art director just underwent a humiliation ritual live on stream

[Sad News] Marathon Art director just underwent a humiliation ritual live on stream

Good thing they're called bungie so he has rope to hang himself with.

sadE

he looks so miserable
you could say he is tiresome from all this

he did a good job though

LEAVE THEM ALONE
YOUR JUST DRAMA CHASERS

at not looking or sounding enthusiastic about the product he needs to sell, yeah

that's not his job

Reddit is so fucking embarrassing lmao

Exasperated because he probably had nothing to do with it. Most likely one of their outsourced jeets decided it would be fine to redeem someone else's work.

you can't steal an art style

Retards should just get permabanned from using the internet. Why the hell are they even defending a company STEALING from artists for?

You will still play it and you will love it. As allways.

I actually can't think of a website I hate more than ((this)) one.

I fucking hate people. Seriously leave this poor man alone for doing his job.

he aint doing no job lmao

open unmoderated chat

for some reason decides to answer questions from chat

for some reason decides that it was a good idea to talk about the art drama

I don't know why Bungie thought it was a good idea to put their producers on the spot like this. This was the dictionary definition of a humiliation ritual.

Guys, why looks like his whole family died in a fire?

It was purchased in 2012, if not beforehand, if it was even ever grassroots at all. Why is anyone surprised or care about anything they do. It's just ai codes by corpos larping

Does anyone else think Bungie heads made this poor bastard do the entire stream as punishment? Like, they had to have known how awkward it'll be for him and how the chat would be, right?

*Plagiarist Son playing in the distance*

ok I checked it and this is it? some stolen fonts, triangles and asci art? god who fucking cares

Because he'll be fired and have to look for a real job

why not just use AI art at this point?

why would they be streaming at this moment lmao

KWAB

No doubt it was punishment from his bosses. He probably got an ultimatum: Do the entire stream with your face in front of the camera the entire time, take your licks, or get shitcanned.

If only he mentioned that Antireal artist was an inspiration for the game

The whole artstyle & aesthetic has been ripped from another artist. As usual, Anon Babble has the most brainlet opinions on this shit.

KWAB

NOOO he stole a minimalist triangle and icons inside boxes ahhhhh fire him!!!

AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I mean, yeah? If you need to plagiarize some fucking squares and triangles then you don't deserve a job.

kwab

he didnt do his job, it fell on him to make sure the art and work of his employees was legit! LOL!

Bungie gets what it fucking deserves

Literally yes, people get paid thousands of dollars to develop aesthetics. If it was so simple and worthless why did they bother stealing it.

Holy fuck

when they don't want to fire you for legal reasons they just give you all the worst jobs

the song is called "It ain't mine", retard

Just use AI art. Human artists are entitled thieves.

they straight up ripped the entire line of symbols and flipped it so no one would notice

this is so incompetently blatant it boggles my mind

does ''Latine'' genuinely even exist? or is it more newspeak bullshit

I'm buying it

Twitch chat actually funny and not dick suckin orbitars

What parallel universe did I stumble on?

The shapes being simple is far, far worse.
it means they are so fucking lazy they can't even draw a bunch of triangles and lines for themselves

Latrine

sony paid 4 (FOUR) BILLION DOLLARS for this.

It's newspeak but at least it's newspeak actually invented by latinos

ART Raiders

OH NO NO NO

Why are reddit niggers such subhuman slop lovers, I genuinely don't get it

bungobros we might've overplayed our hand here

This. You can't copyright fucking squares and triangles lmao. Imagine crying about someone eating a sandwich cuz you once drew a square in an art project.

Nope, it's either Latino for men or Latina for women (latino also can be used as the "generic" for when there is a group of men and women)

Newspeak.

at least it's newspeak actually invented by latinos

nope, invented by the same crowd who invented latinx.

I don't get why humanity accepted that musicians can sample but visual artists get absoluetely shit on for stealing the smallest fucking things

Thats Right Saar! Everybody keep repeating this Argument take, He is the correct now!
Thanks!

oh yeah he's fucked big style

Probably shouldn't have made it obvious you stole from a certain artist. Especially when you are caught following them for years. At least use a dummy account for that.

have you ignored AI this whole time

yes

kek fuck you i was gonna make that joke

mfw Brahmin Linguistic IQ didn't save us this time

Hope Bungie explode, they scammed Destiny players with Destiny 2 by basically redoing the same game but worse and in parts.

quickly change to sub only chat

KEKAROOO!!!!

It'll be pretty funny for the xbros. When their games go to PS they sell well. This will be one of the first ps games on xbox and will sell 0.

I guess you can say the studio is
DONEgie

link or it didn't happen

In case of samples, the original artist or source are usually mentioned, no?

6/10 but mostly for effort

no

.....

HIYAAAAAA

Latin/a/e/i/o/u/John Madden

misaligned sanpaku

This man is under a lot of pressure and wants to unload

hmm cool art what should I do?

contact the artist ask for permission and pay for his work?

nah slap it as it mine in a fucking AAA game where millions of eyes gonna spot it and probably get me fucked in the process

this poster is not white

this man is gonna kill himself

this artstlye is shit anyway

Are you trying to defend bungie? They stole shit then. That's even more pathetic.

I can't believe you bungled that up so bad, Carlos

Go FUCKgie yourself, Carlos.

Everyone in this situation is so incredibly lazy. The Bungoo artist couldn't even be assed to edit out some text in ms paint. Like holy shit this is some next level laziness.

he is literally not doing his job

musicians can sample

If they get permission and/or pay the original artist/rights holder, yes.

but visual artists get absoluetely shit on for stealing the smallest fucking things

Why is it that multi-billion dollar companies can't just pay the original artist like $1000 to buy the rights to the art and instead have to steal/copy it?

ZABITO BOGA

He just straight up stole everything.

anon did you plagiarize that joke?

being Latin/a/e/i/o/u/and/sometimes/y

here comes another latinese earthquake!
ebrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr

Its a billion dollar company stealing from some unknown guy. But if a unknown guy steals Jumping Flash, Sony sends lawyers.

The designers republic was the inspiration and if he had actually been honest about it we wouldn't have a million retards thinking they stole the entire art direction from some random tranny.

Music theory means it is way easier to accidentally copy already established music than it is for different artists to accidentally draw something 1:1

I don't think you're right about that

Wonder if using AI would have been better or worse at this point.

The Bungoo artist couldn't even be assed to edit out some text in ms paint. Like holy shit this is some next level laziness.

It's even worse. They saw the name, decided to remove 50% of it, but keep the other 50% in, making it incredibly easy to identify.

This is beyond laziness, this is straight up pure incompetence and insane stupidity. Pic related.

Yes Sir, we get your idea for the project, we keep the references in mind for future endeavors, You got it boss, next update soon, Ok sir?

I'm hispanic and my hand is white

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Post

yfw you see the day 1 peak player count

who would want to steal marathon's art style?

SOME FOLKS WERE BORN
MAAAAADE TO STEAL THE ART
OH THAT RED, WHITE AND BLUUUUUE

Serious question, why isn't posting screenshots of reddit posts here a fucking faux pas let alone not a bannable offense?

the original artist gets royalties too.

It looks like someone tried to spray over it but didn't have time to finish. Poetic.

Ironically, AI art would've been more original than this slop.

I have to assume some schizo was intentionally trying to sandbag. This can't be fucking real.

Even in game music there's attribution

look at those totally humanlike responses :)

Why even copy that slop artwork? It's basic geometric shapes and numbers

Bungie is completely creatively bankrupt.

I love getting to shit on reddit though. It's fun because that place is so laughably pathetic

when your average MSPaint enjoyer puts in a higher effort on their memes than someone who is paid to do it

Lol
Lmao

They aren't. They don't play this shit. Nobody does. They just write some retarded crap and hit post. That's all.

Reminder that all leddit users sold during the dip.
Pathetic.

You're literally just showing everyone that you frequent it and are thus, a faggot fucking redditor yourself.

mfw when the sword logics dictates that bungie will not see the next year

my guess is its a jeet. many such cases

Spamming Concord 2

not spamming "Is this Loss?"

ONE JOB

Yeah- That's how starved bungle is for imagination.

from the creators who saw halo

ayy LMAO

even their team following the artist they stole everything from, that's a brutal kek.

It comes down to the permissions, licenses, and transformative nature. If they did something like take a bunch of stock photos they had paid for and did a collage of them cut together (which is effectively what a musical sample is) that wouldn't be a legal issue at all.

You're comparing an apple to a hand grenade.

I would have but they turned the chat to followers only for 1+ months.

Dude looks like a hardcore alcoholic

We need to be thankful for concord, every pony station game from now on that features ugly/androgynous women will be labeled as concord 2

ragebait-addicted faggots care

The entire point of AI was to give corporations plausible deniability in blatantly plagiarizing assets. Not even reproducing aesthetics via AI, but literally copy and paste out of artist portfolios fully completed assets, then blaming AI, since AI won the plagiarism lawsuit.

you have 1 month left (to live)

grim

hey arc raiders anon is there!

loss is so old zoomers don't know what it is anymore

Please God let Marathon flop. It would be so funny.

You're wrong, sample singers/songwriters are always credited. Just check any sample heavy hiphop album.

it is the height to laziness to copy paste visual media, even to trace it when an experienced artist can just look at it and draw their own shit. It is comparatively much harder to replicate specific sounds which would actually necessitate sampling for the effect they want.

The industry just recycles itself
They will go to another studio and be dogshit there.

reddit.com/r/SubredditSimulator/

now add corpo-defending AI...

I'm fucking laughing at how stupid they were to the point of actually leaving the artist's signature in the fucking stolen assets because they didn't realize it was the artist slapping his own name on the posters.

Always has been.

They saw my anti-Marathon posts

They're sending the Bungie assassins to my house in a month

Bros...

I initially just thought

Bungie stole assets, whatever, they've done it before and their drones will eat it up

but then I opened the original artist's portfolio and it's like fucking 1:1 to Marathon. Wipeout and other stuff by designer republic etc etc look *similar* to both, but the plagiarism between Marathon and Antireal is so blatant it's painful

Bro the alpha peaked at like 6k, only 6 times what Concord had. This shit will be a massive failure

Kindly cease from calling vectorheart slop, it's my jam

Reddit and Twitter screencaps should be a 3 day

Adam Freeland

random letters numbers and symbols over color shapes

probably a million of artists and images doing it

thinks they're being oppressed and plagiarized

They probably took inspiration for it from other artists too

WHY DIDNT THEY HIRED THE TWITTER TRANNY ARTIST????

ARE THEY RETARDED???????

not really, AI destroys corporate power because it gives indie devs the ability to outsource and steal on the same level as AAA.

My guess is that they used the image for an SDF and just kept it in. You can see that some of the shapes are thicker than the original, which is what you'd get by adjusting SDF tresholds.

think that corporations sell games, not products

Why Anon Babbletards like this?

The look of a dying man

Use shit for temp art because it resembles what you are aiming for

Release the alpha test and forget to replace the temp art

Gigantic spergout

Agreed.

it just happens to look the same and also cover the same themes and use the same design language

This is like the sixth time Bungie has been caught doing this lol

what will bungie do next?

The Latina-li-lu-le-lo?

not the point you retard, they are mad that exact parts of their work were ripped not that they are both ripping off wipeouts style.

be unoriginal hacks

people don't like it

:)

WELL SAID SAAR!!

THIS THE TRUTH! REPEAT IT OK? THANKS

Oh hey that's Blame fanart

Concord had 2k people for the open beta, so maybe Marathon will get 2.1k people on release if it's the same as concord

Every game copies the one modern UI look so why should we care about fonts?

the art director and other people at Bungie follow her

some of the art is straight up copy-pasted in-game

Bungie admits they plagiarized her

Gotta pray to maximize the floppage.

They straight up copied the artists name and logo, because they weren't aware that it was the artist name and logo. See and

not him but i'd be willing to take the devastating blow of being called a faggot by anonymous to shit on reddit users

unlimited sony resources

can't pay someone to draw a few triangles

can we just let bungie die already?

The art director and other Bungie devs are followers of the artist that was plagiarized for many years. It is either straight up plagiarized by art director or some outsourced employee was given the art as a reference and just copy pasted it. Either way totally illegal and the art director should be fired.

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?

like the manga? is it actually? never read. original artists stuff looks so much more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing compared to marathon.

Would he have allowed this?

Every game copies the one modern UI look so why should we care about fonts?

Well said Sir! You are right in this one

More Disney expansions and lgbt propaganda for Destiny, until Bungie finally dies.

TOHA HEAVY INDUSTRIES

That's fan art for nihei's shit. Every concept artist on earth loves nihei and blame.

Wrong, shill. Both corporations and indies could be sued to hell and back BEFORE artificial intelligence showed up. Now they think they're invincible. They're not.

what repercussions will this scandal have on marathon lore

genuinely how do you defend against this when you've hired 150 artists and outsourced art to another 40 indian companies? Reverse searching only gets you so far and something that has been edited is practically undetectable. there are so many textures in modern games that the man hours to comb through it all would be insane and you still wouldn't catch anything except for the most blatant stuff. Even if you get them all to sign something affirming their work is original people lie and it still your product that will have to change if it's discovered

literally nobody likes the fact that marathon's UI is so bright and loud like every BR on the market except for like console piggies

steal

get shit on for being a thieving piece of shit

What the FUCK is that

THIS IS SLANDER SAAR

STOP AT ONCE BLOODY BASTARD

AAA isnt going to exist in 10 years because of AI you fucking moron.

the way they talk about this game you can tell that not even a single person on the team is passionate about this soulless garbage

Where does all the money go to?

A Destiny 2 Titan in 2025. It's all in the game right now.

Stop your Anti Bharath hate Rhetoric Sir!

The plagiarism was small and standar. Ok? Yes!

her

Her her or "her" her?

The logical endpoint of a live service game.

It will return to being a dead series. If its revived again in the decades to come, it will be by whatever company buys the property after bungie is dissolved.

I heard the artist hid loss in one of his arts and it is visible in game because Bungie just copy pasted the whole thing

Jim Ryan has a massive boner for live service games. Had. He's gone now because of his boner costing Sony so much money.

You realise a lot of people don't give a fuck about what they work on and just do the 9 to 5 to get paid.

Incompetence is expensive.

Executives, Pete Parsons has a crazy car collection.

Cockhead space antagonist. Spoiler alert he is the uncle of glub shitto and works for Bungie.

Are we willing to give the game a chance?

Executive bonuses

we don't fucking know. antireal is scottish- that's the extent of my knowledge.

Wrong again, shill. Unless you think a zero dollar indie and a multi-billion dollar corporation are equal.

blows my mind they didn't use the art that was already established literally decades ago

fucking retards deserve concord 2.0

Yes, that's Toha Heavy Industries though the aesthetic is totally different. Blame is much more industrial in its architectural style and bioorganic with its characters

Special programs

i already gave it a chance during the alpha. its not very fun

I'm sorry but I think I am going to redeem marathon.

yeah man, I'm good haha, just a little tired

This shitshow just reminded me of Synthetik, and realized I never played Synthetik 2.
Is it any good?

steal from Jumping Flash

Anyone stealing from Jumping Flash deserves the rope. Leave that rabbit alone.

shutting down japan studio and studio liverpool. I cant believe we will never get a new wipeout because SONY though it was a good idea to blow all their money on bungie who ironically are such massive fans of wipeout they stole their entire aesthetic.

and this is the result of being a total fucking retard. Grow a brain

What are we listening while enjoying this kino thortanic? For me, its the classic.

youtube.com/watch?v=x9WO2ieJMYk

You aren't serious, are you?

Did you not watch the stream? Everything they discussed was "we're brainstorming" or "we're looking into it" This game will have NOTHING on release except for the obligatory day 1 cash shop ontop of a $40 price tag

That's transphobic

From the thumbnail I thought this fella was fucking a skeleton that had its legs over his shoulders

Imagine spending your time being a fucking slop defender.

I heard the artist hid loss in one of his arts and it is visible in game because Bungie just copy pasted the whole thing

Yup.

Well, you don't exactly read Blame for it's gripping storytelling, but the incredible environments and composition

Hey Joe!

you have to pay and give credit when you sample music. this dude just flipped some jpegs and said it's original work.

Where's the fucking link, OP faggot?

do you think they got permission to use the pattern on the walls??

If they pay me enough, absolutely.

I'm that anon, yours is better.

If you need to throw a tantrum about someone "stealing" "your" fucking squares and triangles, you don't deserve to be called an artist.

Everyone involved with Bungie in 2025 is a vulture parasite and has nothing to do with the people who made Halo.

I am 32 and i have never ever heard of loss.

being latin/a/e/i/o/u

and sometimes Y (are you doing this to me)!

Not posting a link in the original post starting the thread should be an automatic perma ban

Well said SaaR! keep going

This piece of uninspired dogshit was DOA before this retardation.Tarkov is a decade old at this point. Should've just made Destiny 3.

Still Tony

How do you copyright a minimalist generic triangle shape?

If it's so easy and simple, why didn't the Bungie retards do the minimum work to transform their assets?

what the fuck are any of you talking about

Moonbase Latin/a/e/x/i/o/u

The saars are right this time.

HEY BIG CORNHOLING NIGGER FAGGOT OP.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING LINK, SHIT HEAD?

he fucking WON

Being a lazy hack is all it takes

it's unironically the most astroturfed place on the internet, with marketers and bots pushing narratives non-stop with manufactured consensus from their voting system and paid off mods or just outright ideologues banning dissent, or anyone right of trotsky at this point. Just recently a research group managed to get some ridiculous number of redditors to believe in god again by astroturfing opinions on one of their forums, like 30-60% or some insane shit. Most of their opinions are through bots or consensus forced through marketers/ideologues.

on google
just a few words to type, you can do it champ

SITTING
IN THE CHAIR
HEART IS RACING
LIKE I'VE DONE SOMETHING BAD
AND THE ASSETS ARE ALL GONE NOW
NO MORE PIPELINE AND THE STUDIO'S DEAD

THEY CALL ME
I'M NOT PICKING UP
HUMILIATION, REEEEEESIGNATION
IF THEY KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EAT SOME LEAD

You literally copy-paste a ton of the exact same stuff

Nintendo is about to release an online 120fps/4k version of F-Zero GX too. If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have said F-zero is a dead franchise and Wipeout is ripe for a new game.

First day on the internet, sport?

The point is nothing that artist was doing was particularly unique, its common shit that every single scifi artist also loves. They pushed the vector aesthetic in a cool way which bungie stole but Its very easy to believe any artist who is into wipeout would also be into synthetic human shit from gits and blame.

Trans Vader says trans rights!

Stable diffusion isn't really the same thing as sampling. Stop spreading misinformation.

Bungie CEO's killer car collection.

Are you stupid? They stole all arts from the dude.

Darth Vadxer

Its not retarded. I'd happily throw my entire company and coworkers under the bus for my personal benefit. Some people dont give a fuck about the games they work on. I just want to get paid for as little effort as possible.

Which makes it even more pathetic, cause he stole the most basic shit imaginable. Shows how useless they truely are.
Self own, Bungiekike

most of what i've heard is that the first one is still better. also Steam suggests it been abandoned however thats not quite right, as it is still getting updates, but only in fucking Discord releases (kill me).

Punished Joseph

OP is an official faggot for not posting a link. His mom has a wider cunt than the grand canyon that's the only way she could have birthed his big fat faggot ass

used to be Ben, now goes by "Fern"

There's even an gallery on artstation referencing "Ben Hook from Antireal" in the description.

Yeah it's """Her""".

Reddit is obessed with the delusion that devs are always the poor good guys and the suits are the evil rich men that force them to do bad things

It's hilarious cause the guy that did it is trying to talk around the fact that he 100% did that shit of his own volition and is trying to act like it happened because of outside forces

drama about some online game shit

boring. ignore all online games. play only single player games.

I was never going to in the first place.

it doesn't matter what the source is, you faggots will not stop complaining.

The point is nothing that artist was doing was particularly unique

Except the part where the artist literally put their name on their art and then Bungie put it into Marathon, thinking that it wasn't the name of the artist, but just some random text.

Never forget... never forget who Bungie once was. No matter what has happened since, Halo 1-3 are among the greatest video games ever made. Remember.

youtu.be/yWh9l8RSkPk?si=b6nWtl22DhgV7Fln

The equivalent of plagiarizing a 200 word essay. Good purchase sony!

Hey OP, you gonna post a link?

It's a comic strip about video games that used to be really popular called penny arcade. So one day they make a penny arcade strip about his wife's miscarriage

Bungie ATTACK Trans representation stealing xher art with Jeets

yep chat. They are cook

I totally did but then they said it was an extraction shooter and the chance was used up.

wanting twitch links

hang yourself thirdie

Why did they use the Marathon IP for this?

there is no fucking way

alright lemme just boot up Doom The Dark Ages and sh-AAAAACK

true self

Kek, this shit is always so on the nose and narcissistic that it never fails to crack me up.

the latin-la li lu le lo?

Fzero is a dead IP and wipeout is also ripe for a new game. The omega collection they released after they shut down the studio topped the charts in the UK, there is still a lot of love for that IP. Not even japan gives a shit about fzero.

Buy Bungie brandname

replace everybody with infinite jeets

put a couple of jew overseers

yeah, "bungie"

Didn't most of the higher ups hate ODST? I thought there was a lot of friction with it and it had a kind of fucked up development.

Oh my fuck

Lol no

i am so mad, bros

It's true you can't copyright an artstyle but sometimes intentionally copying it can be very blatant.
I forgot the name of that one artist who was copying the style of cutesexyrobbuts with incredible accuracy, and got called out for it so much he changed styles (and got much worse)

"they're trying to sweep it under the rug!"

"but they did, right at the start"

"Wow dude! Are you really defending a billion dollar company?! Fucking bootlicker!"

What's the point of ignoring facts? There are so many things you can give them shit for that are true, why make shit up? It just makes you look worse and gives the other site fodder.

fps games are boring.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS TO MAKE DESTINY 3

Only recently. You know that generic drumbeat you always hear in dance music? Ripped from a song from the 70's. Never compensated

shexyo

Use shit for temp art because it resembles what you are aiming for

Release the alpha test and forget to replace the temp art

Gigantic spergout

lmao the game is supposed to release in 4 MONTHS

Buying Bungie was a bad deal. This just resurfaced stuff I forgot that happened before with Bungie. A top director was fired for misconduct back in 2024 and CEO spent $2.3 million on vintage cars and fired the guy days after showing these vintage cars to him.

I'm tired of talking to you, you dont know how to read. bungie stealing assets is a separate point of discussion from the claim of that artist being their sole inspiration for every element of marathon.

because bungie is staffed by desperate hacks who can hear the reaper sharpening his scythe.

A man denied his art

TAYLOR GANG

Hey Joe. Where you going with that art in your hand?

And in the history books it will be remembered as atmospheric ludo kino with an incredible score

this was the smokiest gun amongst all the smoking guns

This honestly may go down as a bigger fuck up than concord. I hope the artist sues because that would just make it a massive shitstorm. The defining shitstorm of this console generation.

programmers steal each others code

no one cares

in fact the programmers laugh at it and build comradery through theft

artists steal each others art

artists have mental breakdowns

people completely uninvolved show up to white knight for artists and have meltdowns on their behalf

why is it like this?

I'm tired of talking to you

I'm not the other guy you were arguing with. Just pointing out that you clearly have no clue about anything.

The man who had his stolen art stolen from him.

Why are you being such a diehard contrarian faggot? The artists name and watermark are still on some of the Marathon artwork. It's plagiarism. Doesn't matter if "hurr it's just a vector aesthetic tons of people are inspired by it." There is proof that they just lifted the artwork. Kys

They pay this Highrolla Animator MILLIONS

they stole assets right after

WHY ARE THEY SO RETARDED???? DO THEY REALLY NEED INDIAN WORKERS THAT BAD??????????
SAVE ME EGS SCOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Isn't Destiny 2 still holding strong? Why make a sequel when they can just keep adding slop expansions and seasons and keep the same paypigs paypigging.

Why do you think managers exist for?

GAYLO

No, fuck that

Same reason why frogget posting isn't bannable. Ymhp8

A man denied his assets

Ahh i've seen that one on Anon Babble many times.

Dont her post on this board please

they address it at the start

this is the 4th time they've done this lmao, who cares if they "address it", they're thieves

did they ask for permission to use that computer board design? surely they didnt steal it without asking the random chink who made it right?!

i want to go back bros...

Anon Babble defending stolen art assets

If the extremely generic CMYK color palette and ugly character models wasn't enough of a tip off, stealing other peoples art usually means whatever your working on is going to look like shit.

You are criticizing Bungie for stealing art because you don't appreciate artist's having their hard work be stolen by a massive company.
I am criticizing Bungie for stealing art because I fucking hate Bungie.
We are not the same.

For sure, I just heard about the development recently and it doesn't make a lot of sense since the game turned out so good and everyone seemed to really like it for what it was.

learn to fucking read you moron, I'm not defending the stealing of assets. The artist should have sued the shit out of bungie for that. I'm saying you idiots who think that artist invented the vectorheart style are ignorant, everything that artist was chasing are commonly held references for many scifi artists in the game industry.

I'm not stealing!

M-Merely borrowing....

But I'm doing the same thing. This guy shouldn't even be called an artist, he makes shitty ms paint assets.

You are not white. One drop rule, Jose.

you still dont know how to read, dont talk to me till you learn.

I mean, I guess Vader is trans human

no, pretty sure we're all here to laugh at bungie

I haven't been looking at the numbers but none of my fellow Destinyfag friends have been playing since the last expansion. The game had it's "ending" like Wrath of the Lich King. Actually a good send off too so we decided to leave on that high note. A brand new game would probably be the only thing to bring us back.

Shipping September 23

Temp art

The Bungie Defense Force is fucking retarded

Dankeschön.
His new stuff looks AI smeared with vaseline, I don't like it

Mutilated cadaver

True self

They always choose the most ironic characters.

"GUYS PLEASE, sure the multi-billion dollar company stole art and would have been happy getting away with it but they said SOWWY when they got caught, give them a break"
We honestly need to start instilling people with a deep-seated hatred for corporations from a young age. The amount of people who'll instantly forgive despite the fact that every corporation are stealing, dishonest scumbags needs to be addressed.

Composition, retard

Uhm you see, using ms-paint triangle template makes me an artist

indians can't fathom this controversy in the slightest.

Plenty of programmers actually do similar stuff where they hide signals in their code to make it clear if somebody steals their work. And most games make sure to not release their source code so people can't see the programmers' code. There's a reason why "open source" is a specific thing in programming. Plenty of programmers are protective over their work.

Being able to go to stack overflow and copy-paste somebody's sorting algorithm doesn't mean a programmer won't get pissed if you plagiarize the entire source code of a game he made, basically.

Sony spent 3.6 billion on Bungie and yet:

Gets caught stealing multiple times

Gets involved in some stupid drama every few months even if it's not about thievery

Hardly even makes anything now besides Destiny stuff

Even their new game is met with a meh reaction based on the tests

I can only imagine some bigshot Sony exec fucking fuming over such a wasteful purchase and basically going "I told you so"

None of us claimed the artist invented the artstyle you stupid faggot. And you're calling us illiterate. You're arguing a moot, completely unrelated point with air.

NO ONE CARES.
YES WE RECOGNIZE THE ARTIST DIDNT CRRATE THE AESTHETIC OUT OF THIN AIR.

NO ONE ARGUED THAT.

Even wipeout used that style. Read the fucking thread to understand the point of the discussion lmao. When Gene Simmons' son plagiarized Bleach, none of us claimed Kubo invented manga.

FFS kill yourself already

the game can barely hold itself together
it needs a restart, ditch the old consoles and a better engine

Reminder that these are the same faggots who will bitch at you for using AI voice acting for a fucking NPC potion seller or something.

"Billion dollar companny... stealing assets..."

"...From a fucking twitter tranny...Bungie... WAKE UUUUuuuUuUuPPPP"

thanks niggerfaggots

Why is her asscheek like 50 cm long
You could land an airplane on that long and flat surface

modern bungie game

awful art

still pretty early "in progress" game, very little info on what's actually going on

using the same universe as a shitty doom ripoff

no chance

What other artists have Bungie plagiarized? I'm out of the loop with their work

JUST WOKE UP, WHAT DID I MISSED? ANY CLIPS??? HELP ME OUT NIGGAS

Sorry anon, no "youtube link tracking" for you, spook
This is Anon Babble, we know your tricks

Frog website nigger cuck zoomer kike

because when you sample in music, most of the time you are taking a small aspect of an entire song and making something new. there ARE art styles that do that but this is just straight up taking another artist work and pasting it into your game without changing anything. its just like what happened when call of duty vangaurd stole an entire skin design and had to remove it.

hid loss

what is loss

Extra funny because nu-Bungie is way too woke to ever put something like a loss easter egg in their games to begin with.

Guy makes art based on vectorheart / wipeout / retrofuturism

Bungie does the same with their game, but accidently takes someones art when they were looking at examples of said artstyle

understandably wrong

>>>people claiming bungie is stealing this guys artstyle

...What? this nigga didn't create an entire artstyle shut the FUCK up

lurk at least 2 years before posting, faggot

what is loss

His dick and balls are is what.

Sometimes the trannies are alright.

have fun

Pretty much every destiny streamer recorded it, pick your poison. Aztecross was pretty decent to watch.

accidently takes someones art

accidently

Accidentally

lmao

even reddit knows what loss is, what kind of neo-newfag are you

It's more so that AI often uses that style. One can make prompts much less obviously AI by knowing how to adjust the style.

t. Highest Brahmin Linguistic IQ haver on New Mumbai

but accidently takes someones art when they were looking at examples of said artstyle

Are you just going to ignore that they got busted for stealing art 3-4 times before too?

Music samples need to be cleared to be used in other songs, unless you're offering your transformative work for free.
If you charge for an album, or put your song on streaming services, you need to get every single sample cleared and royalties agreed in a contract or you'll get sued.

fuck off

It's not only wrong, it also fucks with the rhythm, the intonation and whatever mystic psychological bullshit the brain goes trough to make sense out of words that turns it into an actual nonsense that you need to stop for a second to figure out what was said. And, opposite to english, where the indication of gender is done scarcely and through pronouns, spanish words are way more frequently gendered, and articulated to indicate their gender, which means that in normal discourse you're tossing several wrenches upon the listener, and not only you do have to stop to try to shoehorn this kind of newspeak absolutely designed by someone that didnt speak spanish in the first place, the listener also has to come to a full stop to make sense out of the sentence since the language simply doesnt work like that
Look at this shit
youtube.com/watch?v=EUAQlmVRxq8
Guy's actually tilted since he needs to actively focus on the dialogue to understand it as it comes like a curveball

accidently

Implying

Bungie doesn't tell people to steal art, they hire someone to make art and then those people are lazy and thus steal the art, and because bungie isn't screening anything they just assume they made it

*accidentally takes dozens of their art

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

could you now?

Here comes another Latin earthquake !

Yes! This sir is the best reason!

stealing the whole fucking outfit instead of just slapping a dog head on a keffiyeh

why did they think they would get away with this lol

Pobre Rubius, No le pagan lo sufficiente para esta mierda, lol

Football!

kek its not just shapes retard. read the tread, they literally stole 1:1 assets the artist made.

But only zoomer scum like nu frog? Pepe died years ago

Got baited into the alpha by a friend who had a couple of keys. Boring as fuck.
If you REALLY want an extraction shooter go play that Ark Raiders game. I still didn't like it that much as I just don't like the genre but at least I had a little fun with it.

top 1% commenter

reddit is fucking hilarious

Your company getting in trouble for stealing art once can be excused with "Oh, it was probably some lazy thirdie contract worker or some shit." You can write it off with an apology and most people will understand.

When it happens again, and again, and again, and AGAIN, it stops being a lazy contractor issue and becomes a company issue.

Is Halo 3 a testament to how hard a great art style can carry a game? It still looks fantastic in 2007+18

Nigger it's literal copy and paste. THE DEFINITION OF STEALING

It's barely retrofutrism, it's a tasteless mishmash of normal scifi shit, stolen assets and a very ugly lazy bright neon color palette. Bombrush Cyberfunk did the same "aesthetic" a million times better for a microfraction of the cost.

The video games industry sure has been funny these last few years. More enjoyable than playing most of the games that come out.

The art director's entire job is to make sure his people aren't stealing other people's art. Clearly he failed or was complicit in the matter

I agree that Antireal doesn't "own" a style, their revival of Designers' Republic Wipeout/Vectorheart is standing on the shoulders of giants, but

>>>>>>>>>accidentally

Famous case where Kanye (HH is in his top5 btw) stole sample from king crimson and they got nothing

Wow! I don't give a shit! SO THEY USED SOME POOR FUCKS STYLE FROM 2017! WHO CARES!!!!

YOU MUST ASK FOR THE FORGIVENESS, NOT FOR THE PERMISSION, SAR

Just call them latinx and speak English to them.

look, this fag knows our epic maymays!

his art wasn't even worth stealing, hilarious such a big company did something this stupid

JUST WOKE UP, WHAT DID I MISSED? ANY CLIPS??? HELP ME OUT NIGGAS

don't bother man, reactionists don't care about reality or logic

And I'm sure they JUST SO HAPPENED to place Loss in there

Your opinions and feelings do not reflect reality.

accidently

Whoopsie, don't you hate it when you accidently press ctrl+c when looking at someone else's image then accidently pressing ctrl+v when you get back to your job. Happens all the time.

Who cares, nigger. It's funny, go shit in your hat.

It's what you hide

does this mean they will have to completely change the game aesthetics? i’m ok with dat

next gamergate is gonna be insane

interacting with social media in any capacity is a humiliation ritual. all it is is designated dogpiles for drama addicted tablet brains. two minutes hate roulette. just get off it totally

Samefagging won't make you less retarded in the end

Just ask Grok like every other facet of your work Shill

Again, I highly doubt Bungie and other companies are just telling people "Yeah go steal art you find online, this will only go smoothly"
The most likely and probably correct assumption is that bungie hires jeet artists to make art, and the jeets in their infinite wisdom just google the artstyle they were hired for thinking "I work smaarter not haarder" and these companies are too lazy to actually screen what the artists present

Aren't all of Ye's songs sampled?

Also for music sampling look up prayer break.

Kanye in general has always been inflammatory and uncontrollable, he released Power without sample clearance then UMG had to run and cover his ass and pay royalties for it.

HH is in his top5 btw

Either ironic or abysmal taste

This is only going to keep happening the more devleopers hire pajeet artists. Third worlders absolutely have no empathy or ability to understand that stealing is a bad thing. They simply are not raised or taught to not steal.

temp art

game comes out this year

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TEMP ART? That shit should've been finalized over a year ago.

But the art was the least of this games concern?

Not all of them, but sampling is at least "transformative". That's why it's fine.

You know I actually wonder if Grok is just chatgpt via API or deepseek.

They simply are not raised or taught to not steal.

Explain the white men of silicon valley stealing constantly.

does this mean they will have to completely change the game aesthetics? i’m ok with dat

They should have take the advice of Ninja on 2019 and made a "HALO battle royal"

FREE MONEY

Now they are carrying a Concord labeled bag

You can't steal samples without getting booty bodied by the music jews

I hope they don't pussy out and settle. I'm sure there are lawfirms willing to work for a slice of that money pot.

I forgot the name of that one artist who was copying the style of cutesexyrobbuts with incredible accuracy

theres countless people but youre thinking of shexyo who now just uses AI slop. the thing is most people find their art style by copying others.

The art was the only thing people were saying is good about the game, nigga

Bungie can just vault that art style hehe.

Follow the reply chain up and read you fucking moron, stop telling me shit i already know. Wipeout didn't use it they invented it.

Most of them are, he started from sample chopping after all, but half of ye and Yeezus don't have samples

He is quirkier and valid

Anon Babble is social media, ya dingus.

it really is, even the multiplayer still holds up against todays titles, no other game has done vehicles as well as halo

I think it's more so that living in high density regions for thousands of years results in 'hustle' culture.

guys bungie staff is ITT say "hi bungie"

Of course that's the first thing a zoomer faggot would talk about

Places like China and jeetland teaches people they have to cheat to get ahead in life. As long as you don't get caught

white men of silicon valley

But how do you explain people who's job is to make sure their pet jeets don't steal (or steal in a way that won't backfire) not doing their fucking job?

they're not here we have better things to do than waste it here with losers
they actually have a job unlike y'all

Completely irrelevant you turd. No one claimed this artist created the style, nor do we care if wipeout invented it. We're talking about Bungie stealing, and being like "WELL UHH ACTSHUALLY THEY WERE PROBABLY INSPIRED BY MANY SOURCES" if the most fucking brain-dead thing to add to the conversation. No one cares.

I AGREE SAAR

youtube.com/watch?v=REi498N1pHw

When you hire competent people

art just doesn't have the same gravitas if it isn't shamelessly copied from someone else.

lmao lurk 10 more years before posting you reddit faggot niggercattle

Bungie can just vault that art style hehe.

दियोस मियो, तोदो एस्ता पेर्दिदो!!

The musicians who sample shit are mostly black and as we now know they have a license to steal

IT'S NOT MY FAULT

IT WAS THE SLAVE LABOR I HIRED

THEY DID IT!

I don't get why humanity accepted that musicians can sample

they can't. next question

Trusting middle management

The students cheat on their tests and hide from the teacher, which continues on to they steal and fraud their team leads and directors on site.

Bungie literally admitted to stealing it

Some shills are still trying to say they didn't

Lol?

YOu just bloody bastard telling lies

Counterpoint! Ye sampling Hitler speeches

Sony could have made 36 games with 100 million dollar budget each instead of buying Bungie. Jim Ryan and Herman Hulst have ruin the PlayStation brand.

If a celebrity made a recording of them fucking a pig and then "addressed it" and tried to move on, I would never discuss anything about them without immediately bringing up the pig fucking, no matter how far removed or how many times the celebrity in question addressed it. This is the same thing, you cannot unfuck the pig and you can't unsteal the art.

they're not here

we have better things to do than waste it here with losers

Nobody cares about Bungie using Wipeout/Vectorheart, in fact it's a design language that hasn't been seen in games often. Maybe Mirror's Edge if you squint very hard.
The problem is drag and dropping someone else's PNGs without even flipping them in Photoshop

You know I notice most content react channels are also run by blacks.

This was probably an honest mistake but it's pretty funny

get caught stealing art because of fucking loss

stop fucking arguing with me about a point I never made. Read the reply chain or fuck off you insufferable autist.

APOLIGISE

Fire White people

Hire hb1 visa Jeets

Jews write articles (((((((explaining)))))))) it as "dev choose to try new things"

I WANT TO WAKE UP

Bungie shills should watch that black mirror episode

Money laundering

These people have lost the right to complain about AI.

Get cancer bungie

If the work is good enough to steal for your 300 million dollar game it's good enough pay for.

this is the so-called art being ripped? lol it's like copying the silhouette cutout of a stickman. bungie should absolutely be ashamed of this but at the same time i can't give a fuck about this random bullshit slop design. it's like counterfeit valorant or something. and valorant isn't even that good looking.

jews

again?

I absolutely hate the word AI. Use statistical learning instead.

erm did you hecking steal the artstyle I rightfully stole from anime?

They did the same thing to Aphex Twin with Blame Game using Avril 14 as the main musical hook

Zoomers don't know about loss because abortion is a diddy ahh ohio problematic topic.

No. I will continue to call it AI and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

next meeting with new instructions to pajeetskis is on monday. please understand sir

I loathe PvPvE in all its forms, so nope.

Latrine is their 2nd attempt after Latinx failed.

>helldivers: DoA

invalidates the rest of your points when this game sold ~20 million copies on release and tops the steam charts for game sales on every update (currently third top seller despite having only a minor update) with a consistent spot in steam's top 100 and a frequent spot in the top 10 in steam's top sales figures

additionally mogging call of duty (sold literally 25x the copies) for playercount as we speak

sony is dying and it's carrying a shitton of dead weight, but HD2 is more of an exception that proves the rule (just look at how hard the community fought just to stop themselves from having to create sony accounts)

They didn't grow up the age of dead baby jokes, so they can't connect dead baby to humor. It is an eclectic attachment even among millenials.

Discord releases

Auto drop trash game.

It's so gross when they add brown to otherwise colorful logos. Same with the fag flag when they added black and brown to it

I highly doubt Bungie and other companies are just telling people "Yeah go steal art you find online, this will only go smoothly"

As others have already pointed out. EVEN IF THEY AREN'T SAYING IT THEY ALLOWED IT AND SIGNED OFF ON IT.
The AD's job is to make sure work isn't plagiarised as that can get the company sued. He let it through.
This means he's either a retard that shouldn't have the job he has or he's lazy and couldn't be fucked to do his job.
GUESS WHAT?
You don't get to say "oopsie doodles I made a fucky wucky" even more so when it's the fourth time it's happened.
The AD failed to do his job, the END step. The LAST step, not the first you retarded streetshitter.

It's a nice aesthetic if you don't stylize it too much

I can seethe about it.

muh gook cartoons

shut the fuck up retard

Calls for remasters are misguided at best. The lighting carries the game a lot.

So... "The strongest point" of the game was stolen?
lol

That'll be $4 billion plus tip btw

It was too strong to win...

I don't get why this thing that I just made up contradicts this thing that exists

Because you're full of shit.

b-but some artist did it and got away with it

People get away with murder too, retard.

You're not wrong, but on the other hand, with the insane budgets these games are developed on, you better be opening fucking ms paint and draw those shapes yourself.

do nothing

game company destroys itself

Was Chudha right all along?

Always

But our focus group say it was a great ide-

we

Shill.

hid loss in one of his arts

What does it mean to hide loss? Is it like a watermark stamp that's unseeable until colors get inverted?

Look at it, you dishonest fag.

he's responsible but mistakes still happen. believe it or not but people are not perfect and tiny details can be overlooked and that's okay. This is especially true when it's tiny features on otherwise original pieces of work which are themselves tiny features on other pieces of work and were modified after being lifted. At some point in a cooperative work you must trust someone and you will never be able to know the full truth

it shouldnt have been multiplayer sloppa

always has been

It's either watermarks or something embedded in the art otherwise that only shows when you messed with the colors

The whole time I thought this game was that Fairgame$ thing.

Watching Bungie completely implode right now feels meh. There were so many red flags and things they could avoid:

Don't bastardize old IP names.

Don't chase after shitty trends.

Don't make lame ass looking game that some indie game dev could make.

Don't outsource or hire shitty untalented fucks.

Bungie has been going downhill since Destiny 1. They've been coasting along due to their fanfags defending them and the studio still riding on oldBungie reputation. Anyone still a fan are genuine retards that deserve what they got now.

Bungie's a Trojan horse built by amerimutts to destroy snoy.
And the amerimutt division of snoy is also working towards this goal.
Nuke muttland.

you're not detached from drama and internet arguments if you still post on Anon Babble

AI is supposed to revolutionize the world

in reality it's just more jeetslop that's even worse than before AI

jeets making retarded jeet inputs to retarded jeet AI slop code producing a torrent of streetshitter outputs

they did not even get rid of the artists name in the copied shit. they are too incompetent to just go over that with paint, its fucking hysterical.

or maybe it's just meant to be placeholder

heh, you breathed air today that means you're as bad as everyone else that breathed air today!

he is tiresome

he needs to do the needful saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Basically. I think some faggot at Bungie even said it himself, something along the lines of the worst thing that can happen to your game is for your player base to stop caring. You can fuck it all up, but as long as they still care you've still got a player base. Nobody gave a fuck about Marathon before this controversy, and nobody will care in a few months time.

a game is not a sentient being

darth vader is trans now?

When the art direction is so bad that you can't tell which textures are placeholders...
