Why don't they just make a no friendly fire pve mode then?

Artists do this all the time. If a musician releases a song without clearing a sample that is morally bad, but I really don't think the work of art is worse for it.

At the same time, if there was stolen stuff still in the game (still bad morally those artists should be paid), artistically, I still wouldn't care all that much because it's recontextualized into the artistic language of the game.

I don't know if this is the right take, but how I see it, the plagiarism is morally bad, but it doesn't affect how I judge Marathon as an artwork since it was taken out before the final version. I do think people overstate how influential Antireal's art is to the game compared to something like Eva.

Wait THIS ISN'T AN ONION ARTICLE??

Art styles can't be plagiarized? they can be derivative sure, but there's nothing morally wrong with that. If I write a play in the style Shakespeare, I didn't plagiarize Shakespeare. You gotta give specific examples of plagiarism, such as the Antireal art assets.

It's a very small game. Should be easy to find the receipts. And straight up copy-pasting is bad, but I do hope people realize that if a piece of art has elements that are very similar/take inspiration from a large quantity of other works, that's not plagiarism. That's how art is made.

Just talking about the art. Not about the morality of the company. We agree on that.

you type like how you look 😔

like if the game was the equivalent of this, I would agree with you.

I mean, show me something else that looks like Marathon's art style as a whole?

I feel like the sentiment of "the entire look is plagiarized" is really undercut by how unique the art style as a whole is. It takes inspiration from many different places, but as a whole I think like it does a good job at synthesizing something new and bold.

plagiarizing an artist for their entire aesthetic is really overstating things. She made graphical art that got copy-pasted on a bunch of walls in the game. She should have been paid, but artistically it was one of many inspirations. Just judging the art, I really don't think it's a big deal at all.

cutting a trailer? 👀👀

Just found this! Hope you guys are still working on it, because I know ass about handling post-processing shaders, and this looks like exactly what I need!

My personal theory is that he was fine eating fish, not because they aren't sentient in that universe, but because he just wasn't trying to hang out with the fish crowd.

At first I was thought, "why is this notable, of course they would know each other", then I remembered that they're actually trying to deny this.

I'll give you that. I never played Standard. I only really paid attention to eternal formats.
