  they stole a bunch of the artists work during the game’s production; the fact that this artist’s visual design language basically set the stage for the entire product, even after the stolen work was removed illustrates how fucked bungie was when they got caught out. sure, some will say “oh it’s not bungie’s fault, one of their art leads stole it and didn’t admit it” nah fuck that, bungie understand how source files work - they should be able to see some progression work, at the very very least.

  so they settled and put the victim’s name in the credits, because it’s the right thing to do after exhausting most of the wrong things to do.
