I think he said he didn’t have the resources to pursue this legally because it seems to be a reoccurring thing for game companies to do with his art.

Well duh, trannies are broke as shit but I don't buy that reasoning. My guess is that he thinks he can leverage this into either a tranny welfare job from Bungie or act pathetic enough to get hired by a different tranny dev.

Bungie confirms that an artist’s work was taken and used in Marathon without their permission
Bungie finally admitted that they had indeed stolen the art work... but that it was a mistake and they will be more careful next time. This is something like the fourth story of them stealing art, so saying they will be more careful next time, is more like Bungie saying they will be more careful to not get caught next time

If he doesn't already have a Patreon up you can be certain there's gonna be a grift coming in the near future. Something along the lines of "I can't make money with my art because hecking twansphobic Bungie stole my work uWu".
It's so cool how billion dollar corporations get to steal people's work and only have to say sorry when they're caught, but if this happened the other way around they would sue the offending copyright infringer into oblivion. Very cool!

Modern Bungie is so lazy and incompetent this really doesn't surprise me. Really starting to look like this game is cursed.

Bungie went from making concept art like this to stealing art from trannies on Twitter.

The funny thing to me is how easy this "artstyle" is to copy if you know what you're doing - for most of the designs I've seen in screenshots from the game at least. Instead of just straight up copy-pasting the designs they could've just let one of their graphic designers look at this guy's twitter and if they have at least some Adobe Illustrator knowledge they could get something very similar done pretty quick. But they're too incompetent to do even that.
Also lol @ this tranny whining about how they had to "perfect their artstyle for years" when I'm pretty sure I've seen at least 5 other artists with almost the exact same cyberslop style.

Imagine spending a decade "refining your artstyle" to end up indistinguishable from the Adobe Stock Marketplace

Bungie, for God knows what reason, decided it would be a good idea to do a stream in the middle of this debacle.
It did not go well.

this game release feels pretty much the exact same as concord, nobody is excited about it, the only people who seem interested are people eager to watch it flop

I will say this much: I had been aware of Antireal itself as a collective for a good few years prior, and I generally quite enjoyed a lot of the artwork and music that it was responsible for through collaborators like Billain. I have a soft spot for Vectorheart stuff in general, and I do think Antireal has a distinct enough style going for it which makes it fairly strong in that sphere; the fact that other people were able to recognise it (a) well enough to report on the situation to the original artists arguably reinforces that.
Coincidentally, Billain in particular has done actual credited work himself for other video games, including half of the soundtrack for Scorn under his "Aethek" alias.
Really, the whole situation explains a lot about why Nu-Marathon looks and feels nothing like Marathon and why it was easy to dismiss it as slop: because the overall wider art style and direction wasn't Bungie's to begin with. They took a shitload of designs and graphics which, in isolation as standalone pieces, were generally great on their own merit, and then shovelled them wholesale into the same environment with zero coordination until the end result looked like a disjointed mess. Whichever way you look at it, it's disgraceful.
All that being said, I am still sorely disappointed to find out that N²/"""Fern""" is a tranny. That does explain the limp-dick initial response to this claiming that it would be too much effort to file a suit (

That part was probably overly optimistic of me, yes. At the very least, though, you could still say there's plenty of evidence to build a solid case off of if N² did decide to go through that.

The same year (2023) was also the time he started doing autism identity/neurodiversity stuff. Another favourite thing terminally online people like to do to absolve themselves of responsibility. I wonder what's going on in his life though because before that he's pretty normal. And he's not a Y2K/Cari retroslop wannabe because he started long before terms like 'Vectorheart' became a thing. (Which I despise it.)
What a waste of talent
