  I hate Bungie, but it was only a few textures, and they have been replaced. The rest of the game is not “stolen.”

    I didn’t say the whole game was stolen. The fact that they stole assets at all is deplorable. Also, this wasn’t the first time they were caught doing that. They’ve been caught stealing artwork for Destiny too. Fuck Bungie.

      The assets were copied, not stolen.

      You can’t steal ideas.

        If someone makes a piece of art, and you take that piece of art and put it in your game without compensating or crediting them, you stole it. Assets aren’t ideas. Stop being a pedantic twat.

    the game’s entire art style was based on the artist whose assets were stolen. even if they removed the stolen bits, the entire project is tainted

      The subgrenre of art that this one artist used has existed before that artist even used it.

      No artist “owns” an art style. Imagine if Rembrant claimed to own chiaroscuro. His estate would still be claiming monopoly over the art style, effectively handicapping the progress of art as a whole. Nobody could create art with heavy contrast between light and dark anymore because “thats Rembrant’s style only and nobody else can use it.” As someone with artistic ability, “owning” an art style is the most ricidulous idea in art I have ever heard of.
