blatant plagiarism and copypaste
they even pasted in the original artists watermark in the actual ingame textures
LMAO
Is Bungie done? Marathon was going to have a complete uphill battle with everyone saying its Concord 2 and the alpha being a trainwreck, and now this
Unique artstyle was the only thing it had going for it and not it turns out its completely stolen too. How do we cope, bungiebros?
.
what do the credits look like for this game?
saar i have been done and maked this assets as described
You cant copyright/patent an art style retard
Unique artstyle was the only thing it had going for it
It looks like total dogshit. Jesus fucking Christ in a chicken basket, out of all things to steal, why random flat geometric shapes?
copy+paste image
recolor in paint
legally distinct image
this texturing shit is so easy...
This is called "sampling" and it's a very well established technique in the hip hop/rap community.
I didn't know Tupac and Dre were into graphic design
the artist is a tranny so who cares if he got his shit stolen
I think i hate bungie more than a random troon desu
Clearly steal someone's art that you can clearly see the poor way they try to hide the artist name in the actual texture.
Have a whole track record where they have been caught stealing art for years.
No wonder corpos can get away with anything if we've got idiots like this defending them. I bet you fell for the fake quote from the artist that the journos got caught making up for a clickbait article.
iirc, don't you need to get permission to use sampled songs in a commercial fashion?
Honestly there should be a lawsuit. This is outrageous.
It's also not just the one artist who stole art. The entire art team was following the artist on twitter that they stole the art from.
jeets googling shit and slapping them into the game without discretion
you get what you fucking deserve microsoft.
good luck suing microsoft
Is Bungie done?
Nope, just like every other time this happens they've already deployed the classic "AN EX-CONTRACTOR DID IT" excuse and nothing will happen
US government spanked them back in the day. This is an incredibly open and shut case.
Art director follows this artist on twitter for years
Steals their work
Deflect to jeets
You people are so fucking retarded
Yeah go sue Microsoft because a Sony studio stole something
Let me guess, you would be first in line to defend Nintendo doing it.
usually yes
Bungie
Wait aren’t they being sued right now for something else?
nobody even wants marathon lmao. the art style was the only cool thing going for it and of course that's stolen. maybe if they put up another fentanyl floyd screen and prance around for aids or something they'll live.
>Art director follows this artist on twitter for years
yeah this really sealed the deal. Even if the outsourced companies did this, as an art director who knew the original art, you should send it back to the jeets but he didn't.
What probably happened is he put it up as an example of what they were supposed to go for, then he checked out and didn't do his job while peons copy pasted, now he comes back and it's all exposed and he's exasperated because he could have caught it and didn't, he trusted the peons.
It's really too late to cancel but they should pay the artist like $3M and like 0.1% royalties for life.
What isn't stolen is barely translated nike outerwear, random blocks, and clueless artfag gun design. There's nothing left I think the whole concept needs a revision now from gameplay to art. Everything. I don't want to play Destiny Legends or Escape From Pete Parsons Rape Dungeon.
Oh and you can bet that every last environmental design feature is lifted from an IRL building facade or yet another artists designs
Escape From Pete Parsons Rape Dungeon
in tears over this
knew they were a troon when they got referred to as she/her
women dont do art like this
i came to the same conclusion, now im just looking for proof to confirm it
entire game's artstyle is based upon one (1) xitter artist's work
so much so that many textures are outright stolen
snoy corpo risk management people somehow completely overlooked it (there's no way the art team was that tight lipped)
genuinely, what were they thinking?
genuinely, what were they thinking?
dude I'm gonna take your art once they found out, ask for 5M cold cash and give me 30% deal?
Probably that nobody would believe some nobody tranny artist on twitter compared to the big megacorp making the next generation defining game of course.
...and you need legal permission to sample someone else's song, retard
Are they done with the previous lawsuit, the one where some writer caught them stealing story of one of the expansions directly from him?
Can Bungie slow down with all this stealing? Its becoming hard to keep track
Bro I've had to deal with Indians screenshotting fucking button icons to use in our projects. Shit is wild.
They are getting clowned on their official Discord and mods are either asleep, fired, non-existent or can't seem to be bothered to stop the fire from spreading anymore.
make cyberpunk dystopian artstyle
get your life's work stolen by a megacorporation
lmao
when they ask you how things are going
That ex employee who definitely exists and was the one that did all the plagiarisms name?
I'm not an artist and never worked in game development but isn't there any sort of control software for art assets like what programmers use for code? And if there is why isn't Bungie fucking using it?
How the fuck are there STILL retards going to bat for Bungie?
They should just shitcan the game at this point and maybe try to save the company by doing Destiny 3 or whatever, but of course that won't happen after Sony paid over three fucking billion for them and we'll get to see it flop catastrophically.
Sure things have changed now that chuds are in power, but most of these corpos are sttill slaves to the tranny movement
They didn't even TRY to hide it
Didn't they already shut down like three other projects they had in development? Sony made them put all their eggs in this basket.
$4 billion dollar company
lmao at sony paying billions for bungie.
they should just take the destiny ip and give it to the helldivers devs.
Could have been much worse.
Imagine the game launched and on the second season the artist herself had come forward mentioning this whole debacle, suddenly Bungie would be forced to rewrite a bunch of lore that most of the writing team had no idea that was based on plagiarized work.
They even copy pasted the artist's fucking loss meme
Anon its not like they accidentally used someones art
They have ref boards full of art pieces lifted from the internet theyre using as "inspiration" (to steal from), except this time some lazy pajeet actually just copypasted it into the actual ingame assets instead of remaking it/copying it in 90% and changing couple of things so its not completely obvious
Why would a gun have a logistics company logo on it. Is Marathon a space trucking game?
destiny ip and give it to the helldivers devs.
Isnt helldivers already basically "destiny but good"?
Kinda redundant to make them work on something so similar, also Helldivers is a way better ip desu, like cares about destiny in 2025
Destiny 3 died for this piece of shit
Who, the texture artist, or the game director? lol
Protip you can publicly promote a marginalized group while still thinking little of them in private. [redacted] do it all the time.
so where does this go
does sony give this person a few mil out of court and then spank bungie
wait, this is what people are having a catastrophic meltdown over?
Concordlikes deserve to bomb studios.
Death to Bungie!
Well the artist has mental illness so they'll probably settle for a 5 figure payday and sign away the rights to their art.
That will be 7 trillion dollars
microsoft
Bungie is owned by Sony.
This is only one instance, The entire game is plastered with this artist's design. People are having a meltdown over the fact that Bungie, an industry veteran AAA studio, is so inept that they need to stoop to stealing art from people on twitter to create the entire visual identity of their $100 million live service game.
Its completely pathetic, this artist is basically the uncredited, unpaid creative director of Marathon
this, he is already trooning out on twitter
Realistically couldn't they just have paid the artists their middling stock texture sloppa fee? Makes me feel like this wasn't even malevolent, just incompetent. That's the shit I would get in trouble for if I was put in charge of pretending to make a 'Bungie' game. Doesn't make it legal though
no they literally copied EVERY single art the artist made and just pasted it in while deleting the signature.
i dont get how someone can get paid to be a creative and still just be a lazy fuck and plagiarize. like, those type of jobs are rare enough as is.
a smart person would sue them for 5 million dollars and win easily.
but Troon Autists don't have any teeth.
Well the art director 100% knew: that was malice.
The peon who actually did the copy paste and didn't even make the smallest changes, that was incompetence.
The art director not catching this before it got out was also incompetence.
It'll happen, Bungie has a long history of copying art 1:1 and them paying the artist off when they get caught. This isnt the first time.
trustfundarian Portlandia retarded leftists are lazy as shit.
almost everyone at these companyes above codemonkey live off Daddy's money and always has.
saar we do the needful for very cheap only hire saars for talented work
DEI millennial fags always plagiarize, even in tv writing.
Do you think this is the kind of thing where you could just look for great lawyers/firms in this field, and say 'i can't pay you now but this is a massively high profile case, if I put you in charge and pay you a good amount of the winnings, what can we do?' Sounds like a plan for my dumb ass
The art director knew? Shit lmfao. What's the proof of that?
yes its called Pro Bono and it happens all the time on slam dunk cases.
they take their cut when you win the easy case.
Keep in mind these are the kind of mentally ill people who take public transportation because they're too anxious/confused to get a drivers license, car, and insurance.
Whoever sues them would get a lot of money. They've copied someone's gun design for a nerf gun product once too.
hey need to stoop to stealing art from people on twitter to create the entire visual identity of their $100 million live service game.
It's being amplified by the fact this isn't the first, second, or even third time bungie's been caught plagiarizing works.
At some point you can't keep blaming contractors, it's someone within the studio.
People on the internet are naive, a given since they’re mostly 24 year olds.
This stuff goes on everywhere in all media industries, even all the way back to the N64 and PS1 days.
All the people in YouTube comments saying, “They should hire the artist!”, they’re just as naive.
What are you gonna do, bring on a person to a team and think they’re just going to fit into the work?
I don’t personally care for PvP shit in 2025, but the opinions on this thing read like kids out of high school.
follows them on various platforms.
Isn’t that the fucking cuck black queen symbol?
The art director has been following the artist who was stolen from for years. So did other members of the art team.
sampling requires explicit permission from copyright holders no matter how/where you use it.
It's called a spade and though I resent your implication that's the only thing it means, I can't deny the plausible deniability it offers to trans graphic designers
wtf they copied my fanart of their work
I don't think this one would hold up in court desu
Reminder that this is the fourth time Bungie has been caught straight up plagiarizing.
First they came for the trannies
Societies worst should still be afforded proper protection from being taken advantage of
You're fucking retarded if you think the "it happens everywhere" argument sticks when caught red handed.
Try telling the judge that murder happens everywhere and see if they let you get away with it.
It's about accountability.
You pirate games lil bro
not in this context, its the gun Ace of Spades, aka poker themed, Cayde-6 had a heavy poker theme to him, "Ace" being a reference to a kid he dreamed of having with the love of his life back when he was a mortal human before being put into an android body, he also refers to said love as "Queen" with him being either Jack or King, he never says.
he's one of the few bits of Destiny that was good, as he was both funny, and pretty philosophical and wistful too, as he's a rare individual that can remember all the way back to the collapse of civilization.
amerimexican brainrot only associates the playcard spade with negro porn
why are russians like this?
Haha, wowser bowser. Would have been a lot easier to just spend a week transforming the stolen designs into a design document made by hand, so nobody could point at anything. Anyways this art director should probably take all the money in his account, take any potential severance, put it into wealth fund for monthly interest income, and move to a low income housing area. Because that's about it for his career
It's impossible to discuss anything on here, you're all mentally ill niggers
The artstyle is way older than the twitter artist, it's all based on the designers republic.
The plagiarism is indefensible, but it doesn't run that deep
Are... you retarded?
I really don't see the logic of the judge in saying it somehow doesn't count but I guess if this is the only path to consequences for the bullshit of cutting that content I guess I should be happy
But why does everybody believe this guy while refusing to believe Kyoani stole the meat scene
It's from Balatro retard
Nah he'll probably be fine, the entire industry is nepotistic as fuck. He'll just go quiet for a few months then take a job somewhere else.
the grand irony is his love interest was Maya Sundaresh, a women who was quite literally a few feet away from him in the Tower for years as Lakshmi-2 completely unknown to him, or herself till the "Real" Maya came back (aka the first Exo-version of herself, with Lashmi being a perfect copy but mindwiped) as a major villain because now, turns out she was always completely fucking insane and obsessed with someone else.
Unique artstyle
zoomer never played Wipeout
Bungie will reach out and give them some money to "make amends" socially and prevent further bad publicity by removing the ability for a lawsuit (and dragging this back into the news cycle)
legally however they are in the clear and need to do squat aside from removing the copyrighted works. In order to get anything from Bungie in court the artist must prove damages which is going to be impossible to do in this case for a number of reasons
the art style predates the artist and a style is not copywritable in the first place so any claim with basis on 'style' holds no merit
the artists works were not used in a manor which enriched Bungie (the game is not for sale yet)
the artist is not damaged by their works having been used in the game. Not only are the works not focused on in any meaningful way, but the works themselves are not the thing being sold, merely background 'noise'
From a non-money perspective, the artist is the copywrite holder and can issue DMCA takedowns on any material containing their copywriten work (websites, youtube videos, store pages, etc) and if the assets were left in they could DMCA the game causing it to get delisted on storfronts until the assets removal, this has happened before with some big name titles
TLDR nothingburger
What if I don't give a fuck that some random tranny """artist""" got his shit stolen?
The marathon devs already admitted fault to try and curb backlash, if they get sued it's over.
But why does everybody believe this guy while refusing to believe Kyoani stole the meat scene
not committing mass murder probably helps his case
My most optimistic reading is that the people condemning criticism in that image are subconsciously associating the complainers with the obnoxious ass free melee fags
This guy sounds like a lawyer
Surprised he hasn't been fited yet, the only thing this game was being praused for was the artstyle and half of that us thabks to the troon
Can you imagine settling in deferred payments, just waiting for the eventual passing of the artist
If you watch the beginning where he pulls out his script to read his hand is shakingly incredibly hard, this dude is getting canned within the week.
It does happen everywhere, you just don’t know about it.
Music sampling, skyboxes, vegetation textures, decals taken from weird art books.
It was worse years ago, but now generative AI has brought it back into the fold.
Even games like Doom and Ocarina have this shit. Internet wants to suddenly jump on a high horse to take out the BLM front company, not that I mind either way.
What if I don't give a fuck that some random tranny """artist""" got his shit stolen?
That's literally trans genocide anon!
Sony gonna have pay for that surgery kek
And here I am dropping out of my CS major because I'm not comfortable stealing code. Motherfuckers how much of this industry is people who just learn to cheat and have no fucking values?
Ctrl+C
Ctrl+V
don't worry I'm just borrowing the art style
new stolen asset found.
this time from a studio from china
Art style
I keep seeing retards say this, the entire fucking point is it is LITERALLY the same images just pasted into the game, complete with the artist's logo and hidden Loss.jpg memes.
There is examples of this literally in this very thread but you were so fucking eager to sound like a smarty pants little corpo cock sucking nigger you didn't even look at them, did you?
This is chink mindset and you know you're a fucking retard for raising this point.
Getting caught has consequences.
the "artwork" is a solid colored rectangle with a number on it
How can it align in the in game lore if it was other art then
when I was a kid playing Wipeout3 I was obsessed with The Designers Republic for some reason
Legally, art being shit doesn't give them the right to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V it without permission.
Given how shit it is, why did Bungie feel a need to steal it wholesale
This game NEEDS to be cancelled.
We're looking at scavengers ripping the copper wiring out of scavengers ripping out copper wiring. The fucking well is dry, man. All we can do now is try to sue the big parasite pretending it's an act of kindness towards the smaller parasite. It's fucking fucked, man
Indians waging war against the chinese on all fronts
SUPERPOWER 2030
Does she lurk here? Loss is mostly a Anon Babble thing
artist is referred to as she
name is Fern
Its a tranny isnt it
stealing from the chinese is perfectly fine
5/10 retard bait but it still made me kek
The artist is a tranny so it's okay to steal from them
TLDR nothingburger
Public opinion is now that Bungie blatantly plagiarized a struggling artist. Expecting YouTube videos running with this narrative to pop up next week. It's over for Marathon.
its an indian using a fake name
Gaming discussion has always been based on clickbait. It’s just a wheel.
the real Ace of Spades in game has the spade too, this is another artists drawing of Ace that was used to make a nerf gun.
The thread is retarded, but anon mentioning this book was cool
What interracial porn does to a mf
The artist for that is also a troon BTW
Apparently, Joe Cross was kicked out of the official Marathon Discord during the livestream and barely anyone noticed LMAO.
He might have been fired already or he knew and that is why he looked dead inside through the whole public humilliation ordeal he was put through.
Calling out developer's incompetence is mentally ill
Okay shill
Uh. Is this only going to get worse and worse for Bungie? Are they literally going to have to pull everything off the internet?
i m artist now
Indians are talented artists who do not need to resort to cheating and copying like white people do.
obvious case of fair use... next.
entire art style
There's no need to be hyperbolic, how about just focusing in the actual theft?
They’re mostly just decals. Marathon’s art predates all of this stuff, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s too much of a PR blowout now.
The fact that they sat in an awkward stream and took calls and read chat instead of showing the game speaks for itself.
troon
spades
oh yeah i'm noooooticing
You always were, anon
Yes unless you copied someone else's art
its joever.jpg
All the "discussion" is people yelling about troons
this, people actually liked this tranny shit? lmao
you're cheating and copying being chinese when you're really just a stinking afghani with a poop fetish
YWNBAW LMAOOOOO
I'm gonna play the open beta just to have experienced Concord 2 before it got the axe.
Well you've seen the character design?
Where? In china?
mentally ill niggers
The only one mentally ill here is the ""artist""
I keep seeing retards say this
Most people are now of the belief that Bungie effectively lifted the entire art style from that Twitter tranny's portfolio. I don't blame them.
Are they wrong?
anon was so raised by internet porn he has literally never seen a deck of cards
there are 2 things being complained about: assets (the artists works) and art style. the works complaint is genuine, the art style one is not. copyright infringement of the assets requires their removal and the copyright holder may pursue damages. This requires there be damages and there is not way to frame this violation as damaging to the artist unless you want to start claiming that the game is so shit the artists reputation is damaged by having their works present in it
Just because your art is shit doesn't make it ok to plagiarize it.
Hell Marathon might have actually had some interest if it actually looked good, the fact that the dogshit art style is also stolen is just icing on the cake of failure.
shut up niggers
Bungie stealing from trannies is BASED
Companies usually scramble internally when this stuff happens.
You can hear the MS Teams filling up with meetings and big wigs messaging that it’s “not alright”.
yea probably fired.
the fuckup is likely bigger than we fully know, and he's likely affiliated with it, and now they wash their hands of him.
he can't be trusted, if you steal this much work you are a liability of the highest order.
hire third worlder street shitters with zero work ethic
they're all lazy fucks of the highest order
surprisedpikachu.jpg
Then why did they need to steal it?
fucking brilliant, really.
a masterwork
saved themselves 2 minutes in paint
Can't they just pay him? They got the money, just pay him what he would have earned if he was working as an artist
when its the last week of your career
Pretty good you got a twitter?
Is Bungie done?
I'm always surprised people have such a hard time to let go. Bungie is just an empty husk.
And now probably liable for millionsod dollars kek
Could have spent those 2 minutes in paint to dave themselves a day in court.
Australian?
"stealing" from chuds is based and brave
"stealing" from leftist troons is problematic and should be shamed online
THey probably will, but its too late -- everyone already knows about this drama, the well is poisoned and the game was doing really poorly to begin with with the alpha
The actual stupidity is they didnt just license bunch of the tranny's artworks from him to begin with instead of telling some pajeet to copy it - its not like it woud be terribly expensive
Bungie doesn't hire Indians
Initially I was under the impression that Marathon was going to be lore heavy, given the ARG and whatnot.
But this stuff paints it in a new light, because they mentioned they hadn’t wrote the story yet for the game.
What seems to have happened is that the ARG was made separately and no one was really checking the in-game lore. That “Aleph” logo is a good example; that would obviously mean it was a company in-universe, but no one checked it.
Not only did no one potentially check it, but also that the assets weren’t even being built with any lore in mind.
no matter how you use it
If this were true, DJs wouldn't be allowed to be DJs. Cover bands also wouldn't exist. It's an alpha, there's no financial damage yet because they aren't selling a product yet, all they have to do is claim that they were place holders that they forgot to remove, give the artist an amazon gift card and they're fine. The pathetic part is that their artists are too lazy to draw a bar code and write a couple of nonsense words in a cool font. The "art" they stole is incredibly low effort.
Blaming pajeets is typically a safe bet, but in this instance the lead art nigga literally had been following them for years. I don't think deflecting blame to the street shitters will work this time.
what is up with you armchair lawyer faggots blabbering on about copyrights? the troon doesn't even want to sue. this controversy is in the court of public opinion.
they did, the color scheme presented here is everywhere in game, on everything.
this troon was effectively the lead artist of this entire game unknowingly, to extract this fuckup from the game, they literally have to start over art direction wise, from scratch.
Except it isn't "the artstyle from that tranny" it's called fucking vector heart and it's existed for fucking ever
It was in WIPEOUT
I wish this all happened right before the release, so it'd kill the momentum (though not like Marathon has any) and make it so they have no chance at replacing any of it before release so the troon can easily sue them.
At it is now they have a chance to recover, and by recover I mean get shit sales but also not get sued as opposed to still getting shit sales but also getting sued.
he looks like a dying man.
somehow he has exceeded more than 100% grief in emotion on his face.
because the public opinion is based on (incorrect) assumptions about copyrights
It most likely was some guy previously working at Bungie.
You can’t catch this stuff. I know Anon Babble and internet want to throw stones, but you really can’t.
This sort of stuff is a mood board of icons and references in some employees website space. Heaps of shit is stolen in games, heaps.
You can't just steal art from le hecking poor tranny artists okay?????
Retard.
Makes it all the more embarrassing that they felt the need to steal it
>You can't just steal art from le hecking poor tranny artists okay?????
reeeeeeee, how else am i supposed to afford sex change hormones for other's people's children! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Multi-player focused games have THE worst set ups ever. No stakes, no gravitas. Just shoot die shoot die. Wtf is the point? Get more tranny flag designs for my gay coded character?
Should've paid the tranny instead of just following him on Twitter
This is the next part that no one wants to bring up: how did the art get there?
I don’t think companies want to reveal just how much AI they use in games at the moment.
So this has been reposted about 600 times so far, does anyone have the actual original Antireal hid loss in, rather than that just being a dumb coincidence that some artist put loss on a random texture? The hand-drawn doodle isn't exactly Antireal's style.
they aren't selling a product yet
This is key. The reason Id was never sued over their music theft was because doom 1 was shareware, it was free.
christ, they have 4.5 months to rip every decal out out of the game at this point and remake everything from scratch WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
It’s literally all based on algorithms to make you die to players and NPCs using skins to make you want to buy the skin.
That is no joke, the actual business aspect of these games.
Marathon would have been crawling with cheaters 3 weeks into the game. Crawling.
paying the tranny
Bungie is too jewish (based in this case) for that
hire indians
get indian product
What is the problem here?
a troon took down Bungie
How does it feel, Anon Babble? Feels like a perfect bookend for this dogshit studio.
"A second artist just discovered their art was plagiarized."
The tranny doesn't even want to sue bungie, this is all random people getting mad at his behalf because how do they date to steal from a troon
It's le indians guys
COPEEEEE
I am seeing people mentioning that they are finding stolen assets in the short film that Alberto Mielgo directed, can anyone confirm?, did fucking Bungie give him the stolen assets to use in the film too?, did they fucking tarnish him by accident?
i think it's more people clamoring for bungie's blood because they don't like watching big monkey snatch banana from little chimp. people don't care if it's legal or not, they think it's wrong and that's that
You see indians work on elden ring and baldur's gate 3. They are actually more talented than the hacks at bungie.
Xe doesn't have enough money to buy HRT as it is KEKAROOOOO
I too "was inspired by" (read: plagiarised) Designer's Republic designs 20 years ago because like everyone my age we were all mindbroken by wipeout. However I don't publish "my" designs because I'm embarrassed to admit the nicest things I ever designed were really someone else's art. I sure as shit wouldn't be defending my "copyright" on the internet over it.
What the fuck anon you can't steal from the cyberpunk delay announcements like that
Vector heart Deez nuts
I've yet to see a single piece of evidence the artist is a tranoid apart from the fact they have a stupid name, and I've known plenty of biological femoids with some really stupid ass names.
Furthermore, it doesn't fucking matter if the artist is the gayest nigget tranny cocksucker in the world or John Hamburger the gun-toting yee-hawing red blooded American cowboy-artist (who also hates niggers), allowing some lazy fucks to get away with plagiarism this blatant just because you don't like that they're a leftoid troon faggot/evul alt right terrorist makes YOU the nigger.
Reminds me of when the background "artists" for Yuru Camp were caught grabbing images from Google Image Search complete with Google watermarks visible. That's what happens when you hire lazy people.
This artstyle is over 40 years old at this point, not exaggerating.
The problem is Bungie straight up copying and pasting the shit.
I hope Bungie gets sued to the ground, not because of this. But because I hate that company and how they delete content YOU paid for.
Anyways I don't see anything wrong with taking inspiration from other pieces of work. With how much stuff has been created, it's impossible or near impossible to make something 100% original.
You're always either referencing something, or accidentally create something similar.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Just don't copy and paste like a retarded jeet.
Actually make the assets from scratch, buy the rights or go to an open asset library.
(read: plagiarised)
SAAAAR TRANNY IS THE REAL PLAGARISMS SAAAR
It's stealing no matter who you do it from.
I've yet to see a single piece of evidence the artist is a
If you go far back enough you see his name is Bob
Bob
There’s no way.
This wouldn't be an issue if bungie copied the style itself and made their own shit that looked EXTREMELY similar to the original. If that was all they did then we wouldn't be talking about it at all.
The issue is that they didn't copy the style, they literally copied entire pieces and just pasted that shit in the game including the fucking artists signature without permission.
Now they've gone and blamed some "Former" developer despite several people on their art team following the person they stole from.
709937765
>a troon took down Bungie
We're no so different, you and I...
the only positive thing anyone could possibly say about Marathon is that the artstyle was cool
even that is subjective
...entire design identity is stolen from an artist that the art director for Marathon has been following on Twitter for years
this includes literally copy and pasting their work into the game
Please please PLEASE let this kill Bungie. Take Sony with it, I don't give a shit, but nuke Bungie off the face of the planet PLEASE. No more Bungie games EVER. Sony just eats the nearly $4 billion dollar loss as retard tax for being so fucking STUPID as to buy BUNGIE of all things.
Bob the tranny
Can we troon out? Yes we can!
nigger are you serious
He didn't even make the style, it's form The Designers Republic anyways from the mid-1980s
Unique artstyle was the only thing it had going for it
Yes, it's a derivative style. That doesn't mean that what Antireal was creating was somehow completely unoriginal and free game to be blatantly plagiarized. Wipeout might stylistically look similar to both Marathon and Antireal's portfolio, but Marathon is almost visually 1:1 that tranny's art. Everybody can tell, that's why this is making so much fucking noise.
Xe is a tranny so who cares
If the artist was a chud instead of a leftist troon no one would even care
Aren't they currently in a lawsuit where the judge has to determine if they plagiarized some writer's work for the original campaign of Destiny 2 and they can't prove they didn't because they don't have a version of the game that has it in it? That would make 5.
Yes that is literally what that anon said. If they just used the style and did the work themselves then this entire scenario wouldn't be happening.
Regardless of if you like the aesthetic or not, THE LAZY FUCKS LITERALLY DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO REMOVE "THEIR" SIGNATURE FROM THE COPY PASTED ART.
Marathon
B.O.B
Are we being played here?
This is called "bait"
Still doesn't make it kosher to cpoy pastr someone's art into your game
And you will NEVER be a woman
fuck i used to have so many wipeout posters as a kid WHY THE FUCK DID I THROW AWAY THAT SHIT
Honestly, it seems like an easy style to work in since it's loud and garish
Just buy some funky fonts and put huge words everything, done.
Why dint they asked for sony to give them Wipeout Vectorheart samples since its the same shit anyway, how fucking stupid
I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers out there that'd take this case for free
Nobody holds this opinion. Enjoy your strawman.
Hating trannies is not a personality.
troon called Fern
KEK
Why are there unironic Bungie shills in this thread now what the fuck lmao?
Exactly
niggers stealing
More news at 11
It's just Anon Babble always being retarded niggers, I just hide the posts now
I won't let nigger words enter my brain
ferns are notoriously easy to kill
names himself after one of the gayest and most retarded plants to ever exist
pottery desu
Sampling is at least transformative, using the same exact textures from a troon is not.
What do you think of piracy
that green resin plastic slab
Okay, call me crazy... but in the cinematic trailer there's this moment around 3:31 where Locus deploys his orange shield, and while in game it (disappointingly) looks like an energy shield thing, in the trailer it's obviously meant to be a sort of expanding programmed ballistic material thing that shatters when it cracks too much — which looks totally dope — but the shield looks almost EXACTLY like that slab but orange. Am I just reaching or...?
Hey guys check out my new work
Trannies MAD
What fucking planet are you from? None of that is true.
oh, perfect! ship it.
I prefer the original
half the thread is literally people defending the multibillion dollar corporation (owned by another multibillion dollar corporation) copy and pasting stolen art into their billion dollar video game with the intent to sell it and it's all ok because the artist is a tranny
I don't get it. Is it Sony shills? Bungiedrones looking for an out?
Both
when you sample a song you have to pays to the rights owner not matter how small it is. if you use even 1 second you owe him money.
This also includes, sampling songs that arleady have been samplings from other songs, it adds up.
niggers don't have brains, they just want to be evil
The artist has gained a lot of good publicity thanks to Bungie. She's also earned a lot of money from bungie and I'm pretty sure she'll be getting tons of free goodies/games.
And I'm really happy for her even if I don't know her.
No, but it's a cool hobby.
you should've seen the sheer amount of jeet shills in these threads yesterday. it was so blatant, constant broken english and senseless chat gpt responses. maybe you can find some in the archive.
muh jeets
Cope
You pirate games, you have no legs to stand on
how did bungie go from designing the amazing art of halo and destiny to control c and control v
the logo for coca cola is just coca cola written in cursive
Wipeout doesn't look anything like this.
right, i don't know. shill center could've been in any third world garbage country.
good morning sir
I don't get it. Is it Sony shills? Bungiedrones looking for an out?
It's nu-neo-modernv where shilling not only acceptable but encouraged
I hate Bungie but i hate trannies even more
no argument
Just admit youre an contrarian
sir you bloody fuck bloody leabe bloody bungie alone
You're an evil nigger NPC
You just want to spread FUD
You have no soul
If Bungie is defending the art thief. Again, why not use AI art at this point?
Ufuckingwotm8?
Even kid's cartoons from the mid-2010s referenced Loss
sampling is transformative
copy pasting someone's art and not doing anything else to it is not
bungie is cooked tbqh senpai
shitskin
Which one of you did this... I now know for absolute certain that ONE OF YOU is a goddamn GODDLESS WIZZARD making bizarre deals with chaotic beings beyond the ken of mortal man. I don't know how, or why buf I do know that profane arts are at work here bending the very arc of history towards the absurd. Identify yourself foul magi so that judgement might be dealt and the world returned to sanity.
You’re not fitting in.
he says while defending a multi billion dollar company literally stealing art for their game instead of making it
Only a contrarian could take up an opinion like this. Are you even sapient? Are you even sentient?
Timmy Moment
I keep telling you, it's evil nigger NPCs with no soul
Pirates have never tried to sell me something they stole.
and bungie couldn't even make that themselves lmfao
They decided it was so easy and necessary they developed AI to scrape out every art for free forever
You should try video games.
Of all the cases of plagiarism and theft I've seen in gaming I think this is one of the most extreme. It's hard to even say it was just one "former employee". This had to have been multiple people in on it.
If I was the artist I'd be looking for houses to buy because there's no way that pay day isn't going to be massive.
lol
That tranny isn't getting a penny
I'm sueing you guys
Yeah, saving somebody's PNG and slapping it in the game as a texture is like... ridiculous. And you have to wonder how much deeper the shitshow goes. This is why back in the day 3D artists working on games used royalty free texture CDs, so they'd know exactly where their stuff was coming from and that they had the license to use it.
ended up buying this book because of this thread
shill campaign sucessful
Yes but there's been numerous cases of big producers just ripping a big chunk of someone's music and looping it in their beat without permission, then getting away with it even when they're caught. Timbaland and will.i.am comes to mind
just pajeet things
I hate trannies so fucking much! And Sony is full of trannies REEEEEEEEEE!!!
corporations should have their capacity to trample on the rights of individuals legally protected if I don't like those individuals
Am I left wing? Am I right wing? Turns out they're the same shit.
da company!!!!
You nean the mult billion companies that make your computer and your games you pirate and that provide your internet?
Funny how Sony and Bungie find new ways to embarrass themselves.
he thinks it's just about paying off one artist
The game is unreleasable at this state.
Now what the cat is out of the bag, they have to do an audit of EVERY SINGLE ASSET, Sony can't reach being hit by a C&D a day after launch.
He spends so much in muh sekrit klub that he thought that one outside of Anon Babble knows about stuff. kek
Who cares if the artist is trans???? What's wrong with you people???
100 rupee has deposited into bank account saar thank you very much rape you next week
This is the thing people aren't emphasizing, that it's a smoking gun. If they let this slip, how much else is copy pasted assets they didn't have the rights to?

We are like super heterosexual around here.
they could've easily trained some shitty AI lora on these designs and then fix up inconsistencies to stay in the gray area
decide to just rip the designs as is
What is this, 2021?
this is great. they stole some fags art (based) AND it's shit art that no one even likes. double whammy. chuds stay winning
/thread
There's a completely mindbroken bungie shill that's sperging out both here and the Anon Babble thread kek. He's trying to create a narrative that Bungie is heckin based cause they stole from a tranny, when nuBungie themselves are entirely far lefty mental cases including a bunch of troons
Anon Babble loves piracy and shits on the idea of intellectual property
Anon Babble hates when corpos pirate intellectual property
um Anon Babbleirgins?
Who is this cute girl
The former is fine because it's an individual. The latter shows that the corpo is made up of unoriginal hacks and their product isn't worth the money they're charging for.
Fuck Bungie

Sounds based to me
Please, you're over thinking it
It's just pure evil ironic "I'm going to shit on the street" shitposting
These niggers don't believe anything, they're looking for most retarded shit they can shit out of their brains
It's all ironic and pure evil
Irony has destroyed their souls and they are nigger cattle now
The one in the center? That's just a cd case man, at least looks like one.
ohh your totally right
A smart person knows suing a company owned by Sony will cost them $15,000,000 in legal fees over 6 years before they see their own victory
You going to front the money?
Bungie will try to put you in jail if you steal from them and try to profit off it.
Bunjeets ITT malding
uninspired derivative genrevaniabornelike gamelsop From The Legal Entity Who Brought you Marathon™ which is only redeemed somewhat by its unique artstyle/direction (which it's executing somewhat poorly and to mixed responses) doesn't even have original assets for said visual style
Sony gets owned
Tranny-occupied sheep-shearing operation skinsuiting the Bungie namebrand gets owned
Anon Babble celebrates
It's not that deep lil bro
No one will take the side of the poor tranny artist lol
You faggots always love drama. This dumb cunt's shitty artstyle is not unique to her and has existed well before her. Game will release as scheduled.
Nothing will happen
People are overreacting
That isn't the issue.
The world can't wait for Concord 2, so that's good.
top kek
Try reading what's actually happened retard. It's literally copypasted, watermarks, loss memes, unique identifiers and all.
I can't tell which people are dishonest bunjeets or just fucking illiterate/blind.
it is. but that doesnt mean you can put his work in the gamejust like that. doing something similar was the correct path but they did nothing.
Please tell me this will lead to the game getting delayed to next year to remove anything that resembles the stolen work, if not complete cancellation to cut their losses like Concord.
I want total Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Steam, Epic death.
This has happened numerous times in Destiny and they never had to pay those losers shit. Like I said, nothing will happen
It's a nothingburger and the troon will ack xerself
My first impression was that marathon LOOKS like shit. Now that I know the look is stolen, I have a question: Why didn't they steal something that actually looked fucking good???
They paid two of them actually
No wonder they got a Trump jusus christ.
Because the thieves have shit taste.
kek
meanwhile i play aleph one and forget this trash ever existed. feels good man
Nothingburger
The game was already bring shat on by most people and now the entire internet is collectively against these hacks. Literal worse case scenario for them
Nothingburger
The game was already bring shat on by most people and now the entire internet is collectively against these hacks. Literal worse case scenario for them
So like Destiny? That still Bungiecucks fork out hundreds of dollars each year to play that shit.
It just looks similar, so who cares?
Well even if they did copy it, it's just an artstyle, so who cares?
The artstyle is not actually unique to that artist, so who cares?
It's just squares and boxes, so who cares?
Okay so maybe they did just use assets from someone else, but it was just sampled so who cares?
Well maybe they did steal, but they've done it before and nothing has come out of those nothingburgers so who cares? <--(You are here)
Bungie bootlickers are getting desperate
It's a still a Anon Babble meme and most people know it originated here. Nothing he said was wrong you fucking morons
Bungie has fucked with so much people that those were going to jump at them once they did a stupid fuckup.
This is that stupid fuckup.
No it's not and nobody will care in a week
it's never been more over
You people are idiots this isn't up for debate they did literal copy and pastes
it's indefensible
They stole it from a troon so it's okay
Grand Theft Art
Since the artist is a troon, maybe they're counting on him acking himself before the game's release.
Piracy in the usual sense of illegally acquiring commercial software is whatever.
There are several types of copyright infringement I have no respect for.
Outright art plagiarism is one (and no, AI does not count.)
The second one is paid piracy devices like flashcarts. I make SOME exceptions where the company is more focused on preservation and open sources their code.
The last one is reselling FOSS code without complying with the license.
This is pretty common in Photoshop or typical graphics design but nobody really bat an eye to them.
Wouldn't his intellectual property go to his next of kin anyway and not just become public domain for Bungie to use for free?
yes, but it's also not a big deal. it's kind of like that leaf PM who cossplayed as a black. Obvious big no no and people will make fun of it endlessly but no one actually gives a shit at the end of the day and they aren't getting in trouble over it
I guess it's because it's very difficult to trace every single art or assets that are used in a big budget game projects like this. That's why you want to outsource to studios that you could trust won't do any of these bullshit.
and they aren't getting in trouble over it
They fired a guy immediately and tried to shove all the blame onto him
So they got away with it and the troon gets jack shit
Nothing happens
Is this a bot? Bungie is getting destroyed by the entirety of the internet right now and he keeps making the same post that everything is fine
loss was a massive normie internet meme on twitter, reddit and tumblr
it definitely snowballed from here though yea
Reddit crying means nothing
So why the fuck would think the artist lurked here then, retard?
I mean it kind of is? people were already attacking the game for anything they could find or project onto it. the only difference is something has now been found that the Bungie defense force can't argue against. it doesn't actually change anything and more importantly the normie-sphere was ignorant to the complaints before and will be ignorant to them after
Snoy spent 4 billion dollars on this RMAO. Imagine being paid six figure salaries and having top of the line equipment that small indie devs can only dream of and you use it to steal assets. AI can't replace these talentless nigger frauds fast enough.
I can probably see how this goes:
Director: "Yeah, this is the concept. Here's the general design, here's the character art, here's the environment, here's weapon designs"
Art Director: "Okay, Team A, character designs. Team B, environments. Team C, weapons. Etc etc"
Lead Artists:"Okay, artist. You go get some textures, models, oh don't forget decals too"
Artist:" 100 models? 100 textures? Fuck. Dozens decals too? Shit. Guess I'll ring up pajeetstudio to help"
Pajeetstudio:"Okay sure here's some models and decals"
Pajeetstudio: googled random art online and just straight up stole them.
Artist:"Great, that'll do. Slap em on those models"
Lead Artist:"Oh cool that looks fitting"
Art Director:"Are they all done yet holy shit we need to throw in some trailers. Get the animators here!"
That's the risk you're dealing with if you go the outsource route.
Damn. Called it the a few days ago. My tranny radar os on point

It's gonna release just like Concord and subsequently die just as fast with the small playerbase killing themselves before the servers shut down.
DJs wouldn't be allowed to be DJs. Cover bands also wouldn't exist
an artist doing their own rendition of Starry Night is not the same as what is going on. That's not stealing from Van Gogh. If the Bungie artists just looked at this artist's work and did their own take on it that's shockingly similar it would be fine. It wouldn't be illegal and nobody would care. We know that nobody would care because the artist's work that was stolen is inspired by another designer's.
The musical comparison is if they just ripped an mp3 of All Star and played it in their game without getting permission or a license. Which is obviously fucking illegal.
Report that the game's core art style is based on your work
Don't wait until the game is released to maximize lawsuit money
Dumbass
Retarded poor tranny artist is very stupid
Most likely GCJ trannies desperate to own the chuds and circle the wagons of the latest wokeshit flopping. 2025 has not been a good year for them with flop after flop in rapid succession.
Given that in one of the examples I saw they slightly blurred the artist's name I'd say it's like putting the music video of all star in your trailer but blurring the singer's face.
What does the law say about withholding taking action until you can maximize profits from it? Like if some no name company stole your art but you waited until they were successful to sue. The court knows you knew from the very start but didn't act on it. Would it work against you? You'd still be the victim but I don't know how much leeway the courts give for that.
what were they thinking?
Mumbai "talent" costs less
i m artist now
yeah and I work for bungie
I am a great magician.
The court knows you knew from the very start but didn't act on it.
How would they know that you knew from the start?
Ace of spades is associated with bad luck for years
Amrimutt thinks of negro penis
not beating the stereotype, Kleetus
Yeah not even Bungie knew how could the artist have your honor?
I have to imagine the artist had some followers pointing out the similarities. But for the sake of a hypothetical let's say there was some email that very blatantly says "I know they're stealing, I have proof, but I'm not going to do anything until after they release it". Would that work against the artist for withholding it?
Bunnies does not provide my internet nor can I pirate their games since they're all multiplayer

what is that quote a reference to?
From the original Marathon, the line is escape will make me a god.
Does that even work though? That would just make me hate the skin associating it with try hard faggots.
You should kill yourself.
It's the kind of tired that sleep won't fix
The original looks like a Borderlands pistol so I'm glad the thief was stolen from.
Actually watched through the stream, was alright.
Made me excited for Marathon again given how open they’re being on development, but there’s still one issue
The issue is that people don’t want transparent development in PvP games, only for online co-op games.
Co-op is about community and doing things together. PvP is, I hate to say it, but a bunch of try hard chasing a seasonal ranking. The only care towards a game there is a personal one, meaning balance changes that affect YOUR outcome.
There will never be a PvP game with a healthy community and open development ethos, because it goes against the nature of the game itself.
Bots or just living in the past and being so mindbroken by Halo that you still associate Bungie with Mircosoft?
Actually watched through the stream, was alright.
Do you have brain damage then?
The stream was a trainwreck -- to every question about basic features missing from the game (such as proximity voice lol) all they had to say "we're thinking about it" or "we have some ideas", as if adding proximity voice was building a rocket to go to Mars
Game is to be out in 4 months lmao
I don't get it.
Bungie is burning to death and setting fire to trannies as they go. It's quite spectacular from all angles.
Imagine how the overlords at Sony JP feel about this. They can already smell a new Concord.
lol no
Nintendo would patent the artist's original work then sue them.
it's legal by negroids standard
Wow. Guess we should all do drive-by shooting for fun then.
You need to clear samples with the copyright holder if you dont want legal problems
Proximity voice chat is an awful idea.
Firstly it takes you out of the experience because engagements become social, not gameplay focused.
Second you have to put up with the cringe of some guy speaking in a “don’t wake up the house” voice while we’re meant to be feeling the suspense of the games world.
Honestly, people are retarded for wanting proximity enemy chat. It’s like we didn’t go through that already over the past 20 years online.

absolutely
wants to hear some teen shit talking you in a game
You’re a faggot and a fucking retard.
This is not real life bro, it’s a video game. Maybe we should put a shit and piss meter in the game too.
The only limit to my slop is the inevitable closure of the studio, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to steal, to plagiarize, and flop.
She looks like a nice girl to take home and be asked if we are having children by boomers with.
it wasn't an art style you fucking retards.
It was the literal fucking art. They stole a bunch of actual art and just copy pasted it.
Concord 2 electric boogaloo
Fantastic point. Shallow lore on a game like this is criminal.
bro just pay up the artist to not sue
You don't get it, the game cannot be released at this state.
Sony will demand an audit of every single asset in the whole game, they can't risk getting a cease and desist after launch. All trust is shattered.
It will be at minimum delayed and I doubt it's worth the effort and money to audit.
those were eggs, those were turds.
they put all their turds in one basket.
Then they tried to feed everyone the turds.
And then where did the guy they stole it from get his ideas from
I'm not trying to sell you the shit I pirated
You stupid nigger
It all comes from The Designers' Republic, but they've been shut down for decades now, Antirreal is the closest to a spiritual successor that exists today.
Why Bungie didn't just hire them I have no clue, is it nepotism?
trying to prove a point to retards online
Good example of what happens when you outsource your shit to pahjeets with zero supervision. I bet a bunch of games released recently have the same problem, this was just the one that got caught
This is like putting a Rolling Stones song in your game without paying them and then defending yourself by saying rock music has been around for 80 years.
literal physical embodiment of "i really don't want to be here right now"
Every game does it. Game preproduction is full of moodboards that take icons, UI and all sorts of stuff from everywhere.
I mean this even was a thing with Doom’s skyboxes in 1993, or Ocarina’s soundtrack. I bet even the original Marathon has this stuff too.
But your studio was dead a thousand times. Countless losses successfully recouped.
A franchise long dead, grafted to a game your developers didn't finish. You follow the trends, forcing it into a predictable pattern
Yours to manipulate, destroy, and recycle
Now, in the anticipated moment before launch, when all become flops. One failure left. One more release of live service slop
I know who you are.
You are Bungie
dumbest fucking reply in the entire thread.
amazing.
They stole the art, not the style you retarded nigger.
They got paid billions by sony to make the game, enriching them, you retarded nigger.
the artist is damaged because their art is forever attached to a shitty game, you retarded nigger.
stolen art, yes
stolen art style? no, this shit is as old as the PS1, nothing original about it
Of course niggers would steal music too
Not if they take the art out.
This is speculation, cayde was writing about ace even when he knew who micah was as a human. He even wrote about his wife and ace before his first memory reset and even before he became an exo.
The complexity comes from the whole guardian thing, even though they are real Cayde himself does not remember them or even know them at all, he just knows they exist because of his old journals he found, and he might know what they look like due to his deep stone crypt dreams
Imagine all the gems in such a fast moving chat that are lost forever
if you actually read the thread, someone said that the creative director FOLLOWED the artist on twitter. FOR YEARS.
FOR YEARS.
FOR YEARS.
FOR YEARS.
FOR YEARS.
they KNEW where the art came from. It wasn't pajeets this time, unless the creative director was a pajeet. Could be, it's dung-y after all
Oh, so if its old enough its not stealing?
i like it anon, also have you heard of jackson pollack
This shit was directly plagiarized.
Imitating another person's STYLE isn't plagiarism. It can be in poor taste, but it's not illegal.
Slight difference, those were textures and sound effects from a pack they bought, no different from just buying an image off of getty images. But you're right that in pre-production it's just about using anything you want. I remember some people dunking on Hyenas when some pre-production trailer pitch was leaked and it was a bunch of shit they found online. That's fine, the whole point of those is to sell on an idea for internal use only.
DO NOT REDEEM THE COMPOSITION, SAAR
ste...uh, er. I'm borrowing these for my game.
When I make a billy off them you guys can have your name in the credits or something
I dunno anon, pajeets don't steal. Its western artists that do that. The pajeets will just deliver you a half cooked product, but they have the slave labor to redraw shit badly when needed. The western artist will steal high quality art from lesser known artists, because under pressure to perform they will do anything to stay relevant, so their job does not get outsourced to pajeets.
Made me kek.
Ngl despite being MSpaint this actually goes pretty hard anon
Style can't be copyrighted. At worst it's a scummy move if the art style is very unique and blatantly attached to one person which this isn't the case. As it's been pointed out this was a popular style in the Y2K era and even before. But this is outright theft with even the artist logo still being present in places and even a loss meme being thrown in.
taking the art out isn't going to delete the tens of thousands of hours of youtube videos uploaded about this shit.
all this unironic seethe directed at an obvious joke
I hate nu/v/ so much
His left eye already making a break for it

the ones on the left look cool. the one on the right looks goofy as fuck, like a 1st grader made a costume out of cardboard and stickers.

This is the biggest disaster of any game, since concord. lol.
it's still around and i'm pretty sure there's a youtube version, too

Easier to just have the local saar "design" this shit for $0.5 an hour and call him professional then hire actual artists that would want a proper wage. I doubt anyone at Bungie cares where it comes from as long as it's on time and somehow works. Now with AI to scrape whatever it can find it's even easier.
you guys are not the creators of Halo
I'd like to think that one hurts the most.
I dunno man, everyone had actually heard of concord. Marathon is a literal who outside of the court case being in the news cycle.
They didn't steal any art. The artist still has the original. They just copied it's stylistic nuances.
these are the people complaining about AI stealing their jobs
And yet nobody ever does it despite Wipeout being the coolest shit in the world
can we not call it art but designs? it's just some simple shapes and texts. not even trying to defend söyny, i hope they burn, but the troon is not an artist.
im not really going to argue with that, it's blatant plagiarism though. They copy pasted half of an image onto a surface and it cut the other half off due to space.
basic features missing from the game (such as proximity voice lol)
kek, I remember how it was one of the new techs in Halo 3 they advertised. Shouldn't have kicked out the old guard at Bungie.
So? It's derivative work of original design.
they weren't imitating it though, they just copy pasted it.
imitation would be tracing, or drawing a duplicate.
they didn't draw a duplicate they just used the source.
see
and the artist they stole from imitated a style that has existed for decades, that's the point
The Designers Republic are the grand champions. The dude behind BallisticNG somehow managed to make a similar style without stealing the work of others.
sure man. they even copied the silly loss meme the artist did for fun and which somehow turned into an unintentional watermark.
The Designers' Republic is my shit.
I've heard that style being called vectorheart today, but it's hard to do it properly. Less is more sometimes.
then why couldn't they just imitate that STYLE instead of directly copy pasting the artists premade designs.....
This is almost comically evil.
I don't fucking know
it's really lazy because these kindergardem designs can be easily imitated without copying. really no effort. i could shit out one in gimp in 10 minutes
No you couldn't
With AI being so prevalent I don't know if it was lazier to steal the images or lazier that they didn't just filter the images through AI to save themselves from this exact scenario.
well they stole them in 2020 so AI wasn't actually up to the task.
You bet your ass they're going to replace them with AI though.
can we not call it art but designs? it's just some simple shapes and texts
It's a godly style when done properly
