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.

Bungie had similar problems with Destiny 2, if I remember correctly.

Bungie commented on the current issue an hour ago.

They just trained their employees using other people’s copyrighted works. What’s the problem?

Should have just used AI, at least then people could debate whether or not it was plagiarism

Is anyone actually shocked about modern Bungie?

The lead art director of marathon has followed her since before the game began development and he still stole her shit wholesale. Disgusting.

I wasn't expecting quality from modern Bungie but this is definitely an unexpected low

Why did they have to copy anything?!

BUNGIE LITERALLY ALREADY MADE MARATHON

I played the original games, on a Performa 6100 Mac, back in the day!

This new game has essentially no relation besides name and logo to the old Marathon games. Sadly, because the old ones were the shit.

Its worse than that: this game is somehow CANON with the original Marathon

How dare you.

I loved the Marathon games. They were better than Doom!

Edit; My bad, I thought you said they "Were shit," instead of "The shit."

My bad. Carry on.

It's okay, 'the shit' is a weird phrase anyway. And as a Marathon trilogy connoisseur, you're clearly alright.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's a weird phrase, today. It was popular 20 years ago.

It meant "The best" back then.

But thanks for the positive vibe, and comment.
