It’s safe to say Bungie has not had a great week. On Thursday, the developer of Marathon admitted it had used art designed by independent artist Antireal in its upcoming extraction shooter without compensation or credit. The studio blamed this on a “former Bungie artist” and promised to undertake a “thorough review” of Marathon’s assets….
Remember that Gears of War movie Netflix was working on? Nobody would blame you if you didn’t. The streaming service and purveyor of aggressively mediocre action flicks nabbed the film rights for Microsoft’s cover-shooter series way back in November 2022.
