I’ve lost all respect for Bungie at this point. Their games have been shit for a few years, but this is a really low bar…

Apparently it’s a former Bungie artist that included stolen work in internal assets and didn’t tell anyone.

For once, it sounds like a genuine “oh f*k”, and not corporate excuses. What we can hope is that the actual artist behind the art gets compensated for their work, and that the assets get replaced if they ask for it.

It’s not an artist that included her work. It’s multiple artists, including the main art director. They followed her and large portions of the art design in the game are based on her work.
