Upcoming Bungie shooter Marathon hasn't been without its fair share of controversies, facing indefinite delays and an increasingly wary community – not to mention the whole stolen art debacle that took off in May when an artist noted their work was lifted without pay.
The situation unfolded when Scottish artist Fern Hook revealed that Bungie's new game was "covered with assets lifted from poster designs" of hers from years back – a claim that prompted a "personal apology" to Hook from the studio. Although the entire discussion properly unfolded months back when she spotted her work in alpha footage, it's resurfacing now as Academy Award winner Alberto Mielgo calls it all a "mistake."
