Bungie has issued an official statement, they are throwing an artist under the bus and pledging to make it right with the original artist.

This is a developing story.

Love the response. Very CYA and they're called out on it by multiple people:

‪hi, tell legal to reply to my email from months ago.

i simply can’t believe you’re thanking anyone “for bringing this to our attention” just because it went viral.

what about all the times i’ve directly contacted you privately about using my work? why should i have to hurt your brand to be heard?

So, we had some unknown outsource companies at fault for plagiarizing previously and now unknown former empleyee? How convenient! Surely the fact that art director and other marathon artists follow her means nothing.

I really wish i could buy that this was actually just an overeager artist who got laid off to pay for pete parsons' 80th classic car but not only is this the 4th time this has happened, joseph cross was following and clearly aware of antireal. yall knew and fully intended on getting away with it

Honestly, at this point the company should be dismantled and the leadership thrown in prison. These corporate edgelords wont learn. They will just overstep, inch by inch and the courts will understate their deeds over and over until there is only one company that rules the world and sell you your fucking liver by the minute.

Dismantle this pile of shit.

So approx 850 people working at the studio should lose their livelihood because a few shitty leads and artists plagiarized?

Listen, I want to dismantle a LOT of companies that are a thousand times bigger than this.

so if your concern for workplaces is so much higher than for people getting systematically fucked and not that rarely lose everything - even their lives - you're gonna get real unhappy.

This system is fucked, stop defending it.
