The alpha release of Bungie's Marathon showcases visuals that closely resemble designs from freelance artist antire.al's previous work. Sharing side-by-side comparisons, antire.al points out that her 2017 posters have been utilized without her permission in Marathon's promotional materials and gameplay. This incident amplifies existing tensions around copyrights in gaming as independent artists often find their work used without attribution or compensation. It suggests either oversight in asset use or unethical practices in the game's production process, leaving the artist disillusioned about the industry's respect for design rights.
