Bungie Is Working on Removing Artwork from Marathon After a Former Employee Plagiarized Content

Bungie has been run by clowns for years now. I could give people a run down of a lot of the shady crap they pulled with Destiny 2, but that would make for a very long post. It would be easier for them to pay the artist for their work rather than scramble to remove everything connected with them. As I understand it, the game's overall art style is basically the same as the person's they stole from.

Not that Marathon was going to be anything other than DOA anyway, but this kind of crap hurts Bungie's already bad reputation.

"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"

Why do they always do this and then blame the fans when it fails?

They shouldn't be doubling down they should be scrapping it. Frankly if they had an ounce of self awareness they should've quietly scrapped it when they saw how concord did. I mean how arrogant you have to be to see concord get rejected by the whole gaming population, including the people who pretended to support it on social media, but you continue to work on a game in the same genre and with very similar design language as concord like nothing has happened, expecting a different outcome?

Unfortunately, that seems to go out the window more often than not when it comes to greed and the hunt for the ever-elusive live-service cash cow.

I don't think it is explained by greed. Is it greed that makes you follow in the footsteps of something that made negative 300 million?
 
I call it greed when minimum effort is put into something, and it seems obvious they were trying to salvage with leftovers for profits instead of putting in the time and money to make a distinguishable quality product.
 
Sad since Marathon had a decent legacy to it and it’s getting destroyed like this
