i was one of the ppl who only experienced one bug on release playing cyberpunk so i was so confused when everyone started hating it

[rigid quartz]

wth are you yapping about?

[viral sequoia]

Does he know guys?

[rigid quartz]

about what?

[viral sequoia]

Like I'm being deadass does he know what happened?

[dusk kettle]

[nova saffron]

Holy shit that live stream, Cross looked like a hostage on video reading a forced confession

[light ocean]

epic embed fail

[patent dust]

im bored of this Asset Stolen topic, nothing will change

[ancient shoal]

Like, Cyberpunk is a tabletop RPG with a videogame.
CDPR published a 40 minute yap session describing how your decisions were going to affect the worlds reaction to your character. I am not a hater, I am crushingly disappointed

[dusk kettle]

send it to me in.dms

[lost phoenix]

Yeah that stream was hard to watch

[viral sequoia]

He looked like he was crying before stream dude...

[light ocean]

tbf he is facing career ending accusations

[rigid quartz]

get a life man...

[viral sequoia]

??????

[small cosmos]

was the live stream worth watching

[nova saffron]

No

[dusk kettle]

someone send me the Livestream

[modest finch]

Not really

[ancient shoal]

His world was kinda crumbling down atm, so reasonable reaction

[light ocean]

no

[cold compass]

Wait cross as the destiny 2 player is was on the live stream, and I missed it

[viral sequoia]

LIKE?! I'M SORRY I'M HATING ON A GAME AND COMPANY THAT STEALS ART?!

[modest finch]

Nothing of value was said

[small cosmos]

What did they say?

[light ocean]

no, Joseph Cross, art director

[small cosmos]

“Sorry for stealing lol”

[nova saffron]

No. Art director last name cross. Soon to be former I'm sure.

[cold compass]

Ah fair, I literally want to know what happens

[restive bough]

I don't think he will get fired

[indigo wigeon]

“We are committed to making sure everything is authentic and are sourced accordingly.”

[ancient shoal]

We at Bungie are very sorry. We'll look into it guys

[restive bough]

well, unless the whole marathon team gets fired which is possible at this point

[indigo wigeon]

marketing mumbojumbo

[viral sequoia]

"get a life" ah man sorry for audible disliking a company that did something pretty damn bad

[small cosmos]

This will not happen again. Proceeds to happen 4 times

[indigo wigeon]

Reminder: Bungie has done this before with Destiny, multiple times

[gleaming spruce]

LOL the reddit mod team removed it for being a repost

[light ocean]

https://www.artstation.com/josephacross
scroll down, he's been building up a similar artstyle for a long time

[dusk kettle]

send cross Livestream

[ancient shoal]

Tbh. After the gameplay showcase I started becoming a fan of Marathon as an art project rather than a game, now I have nothing

[small cosmos]

Sony must be thinking wtf have we spent billions on

[glacial bane]

Imagine holding a multi-billion dollar company in higher esteem than the struggling working class.

[viral sequoia]

Right, I understand

[modest finch]

I wamted to hear more ben starr

[lost phoenix]

The thing that gets me is if they were sorry then own it & post it on your MAIN twitter. Don’t try & hide it on a smaller page that hardly anyone knows about. If you’re going to own up, do it properly.

[small cosmos]

Such a panic buy after Microsoft baught activision

[viral sequoia]

EXACTLY

[dusk kettle]

who's this

[viral sequoia]

I fucking hate how people are trying to defend bungie too

[ancient shoal]

IT'S SO OVER

[viral sequoia]

THAT'S CROSS

[dusk kettle]

why does he look sad i feel bad for him what happened

[viral sequoia]

Bro...

[light ocean]

accused of art theft
it was someone lower in the ranks

[ancient axle]

You shouldn't thats the face of a man who got caught

[viral sequoia]

That's the art director

[ancient shoal]

Does he know.jpg

[patent dust]

he stole other's newborn child from hospital and after 9 years, original parent demanding its their son

[indigo wigeon]

He got caught lacking and his art team copied a graphic artist’s material without their permission and now his ass is about to be handed to him

[dim breach]

This wouldn’t have happened Bungie if you gave me an Alpha code.

[small cosmos]

In fairness I feel sorry who was ever on the live stream from bungie. Game is already getting negative press and then this pile of shit lands on your lap the day before you are supposed to be excited for upcoming updates

[digital widget]

You should feel bad for the artist who spent years struggling to make ends meet having their art stolen by by a multi-billion dollar studio whose art department is lead by Mr. Sad in that gif.

[dusk kettle]

can yall link me the Livestream

[viral sequoia]

NOT blizzard entertainment dude 😭

[digital widget]

Zero sympathy, absolutely deserved.

[restive bough]

it's just happened too often, bungie has a clear issue here, it's not just one guy, it's a company problem, I don't think cross himself did this, but why does it keep happening?

[indigo wigeon]

I (unfortunately) play destiny 2 and have seen shit like this pulled off too many times.

[viral sequoia]

A simple factory reset will do the trick

[light ocean]

bad oversight? it is a problem they need to address more meaningfully yeah

[tranquil thistle]

idk what else people expect bungie to do, one former artist messed up years ago and the texture was left alone until it went public in alpha

[ancient shoal]

Marathon went from misunderstood to hated. Truly the comeback of the year

[umbral mesa]

is it marathover?

[light ocean]

do you think Sony booting execs will be good for Bungie?

[viral sequoia]

Flopthon

[indigo wigeon]

Company culture, bad higher-ups, potentially absurd working hours and timelines that they have to crunch their souls for. Pete parson and his cars….

[lost phoenix]

It’s not just a texture. It’s the whole aesthetic of the game.

[viral sequoia]

ANYTHING is better than this rn

[dusk kettle]

cant help but feel bad when Men.are sad 😔

[small cosmos]

They might be better just scrapping it for a few more years. Say we fucked up. We are going to add a solo campaign and shiz

[ancient shoal]

"Maybe with this TLOU and Spider-Man remaster you'll finally shut up"

[viral sequoia]

"men sad" 💔

[light ocean]

?

[ancient shoal]

Quite literally Sony

[viral sequoia]

Here's another last of us remaster. HERE TAKE IT

[dusk kettle]

gurt: yo

[indigo wigeon]

It sucks when people that were supposed to work under you do things out of your control that should not be happening, but the business is the business and it can be cruel.

[ancient shoal]

I don't think Sony is a positive for Bungie at all besides the capital investment

[indigo wigeon]

He should’ve known or at least have done a background check on all the materials and their sources

[small cosmos]

If they make ONE MORE TLOU remake, I swear to Christ.

[edgy terrace]

One more is already coming

[viral sequoia]

Yeah I don't think people understand, just because cross might have not done it, doesn't mean it won't affect him deeply... When one person fucks up the whole team fucks up

[indigo wigeon]

TLOU Remake, the Remake

[ancient shoal]

With every advancement in graphics and shaders, you'll get one more

[dusk kettle]

Poor cross he looks like a bear

[glacial bane]

his job is on the line. it was his responsibility after all

[edgy terrace]

Tlou part 2 does not exist for me

[indigo wigeon]

the entire art department is probably in flames and Joe Cross is bearing all the responsibility

[viral sequoia]

That is also true

[ancient shoal]

A bear if he was sad and felt miserable and everything was over

[viral sequoia]

I doubt he will be fired, he is too good at what he does

[digital widget]

Cross is the lead of that department. The literal director. This is his responsibility as much as the contractor who shoved the pilfered art in the game.

[viral sequoia]

A bear from red dead redemption basically

[restive bough]

if he gets fired he will find another job

[small cosmos]

I would pay $70 just for another tlou factions game. That was so good

[indigo wigeon]

He’ll end up being the scapegoat for execs most likely

[edgy terrace]

What was the name of the art director that appeared on the reveal stream ?
I bet that guy has Sony execs up his ass now 🤣

[digital widget]

Jimmy Criss.

[indigo wigeon]

ah yes, good ol jimmy criss

[light ocean]

jackie crass

[viral sequoia]

Nah because what's fucked up about it is that... He's actually the reason spiderman into the spider verse looks the way it does.

[edgy terrace]

Damn

[dusk kettle]

im.ngl barely any art was stolen who cares

[ancient shoal]

I think. I think I'll hop on Arc Raiders eventually. Embark already hooked me with the finals. They can cook a shotgun and SMG gah damn

[viral sequoia]

Like this dude does REALLY good shit

[glacial bane]

Criss Angel

[cedar geyser]

Can someone share the screenshot with Joseph and "plagiarism will make me god" twitch comments?

[indigo wigeon]

wait- he was a part of the spiderverse team?

[digital widget]

Criss Angel stealing the Mona Lisa.

[viral sequoia]

If I remember correctly... He made the concept art for the first movie

[formal seal]

They should have procedures for anything they don’t own the copyright for (inspiration, placeholders, etc) and anything that goes into the game should be checked.

[indigo wigeon]

thats wild and a travesty

[light ocean]

ngl I would not be able to sit there for that long and watch the comments

[ancient shoal]

Pay the guy who actually did the work. Duh

[dusk kettle]

poor guy he looks like a bearded giant. Everyone messes up from.time to time and it wasn't his fault alone but he gets all the blame

[indigo wigeon]

jesus, he’s been on everything then

[small cosmos]

Is there any conceivable way they can save this game

[ancient shoal]

He felt more pain than Guts, it's telling

[small cosmos]

Step 1

[restive bough]

I doubt it at this point, but a delay and a huge revamp of things would work, you should have a home base, they should add a real black market

[modest finch]

Make it good

[small cosmos]

Step 2

[indigo wigeon]

it’ll probably take a lot longer than a year, lets be honest

[digital widget]

rm -rf the game plz.

[small cosmos]

Free to play

[restive bough]

just make it a real proper AAA extraction shooter with things noone else could do

[ancient shoal]

Delay it and re-announce it with the hype of Peggle 2

[restive bough]

the foundation is extremely solid

[edgy terrace]

If it has deep lore
Captivating events
Getting rid of the runners identities and make them customisable
True worthy end game
More fleshed out features instead of dulled down slop

[restive bough]

they're not far from a good game

[dusk kettle]

extraction shooters are lowkey just battle royals with a focus on looting and shitty ai

[restive bough]

they should probably have a real story as well yeah, would help

[restive bough]

the AI in this game was pretty good tho

[modest finch]

It needs connective tissue mostly

[indigo wigeon]

of course, but if the livestream is anything to go by: they are clearly not ready for launch and they (talking actual devs, not the execs) should get ample time to polish it for a successful day 1 launch

[plush adder]

Arc raiders devs smiling rn

[ancient shoal]

Tbh, I was expecting individual customizable runners too

[glacial bane]

I am so over extraction shooters and battle royales. but I'm also over team deathmatch and domination. what other genres should they have explored

[light ocean]

chat is this egg boiled or raw I can't tell

[digital widget]

Embark now has no competition.

[small cosmos]

I think they are fucked no matter what. People are sick of buying a game that is half finished but the devs are like oh we wanted to know what ye guys thought teehee.

[indigo wigeon]

baked

[light ocean]

how do you bake an egg

[modest finch]

Something that connects the pve and pvp, something that connects factions to gameplay in a way thats not just meaningless contracts, something that ties the supposed social aspect to the gameplay

[ancient shoal]

If it floats, it's well cooked

[indigo wigeon]

yes

[digital widget]

Put it in a panini press with the shell on.

[dusk kettle]

@modest finch your profile attracts me

[indigo wigeon]

the rizz at work

[edgy terrace]

I haven't seen any of the alpha gameplay yet but where you able to just find stuff to customize the runner with or how did they make it work

[modest finch]

Uh

[indigo wigeon]

let him/her/they cook

[ancient shoal]

Real. The Finals was underrated. Now this is their chance to get some deserved players

[modest finch]

No i think im good

[light ocean]

inclusive harassment 🩷

[digital widget]

I really enjoyed The Finals with my terrible pirate costume.

[modest finch]

No customizing in the alpha

[ancient shoal]

They are preset characters. Cosmetic customization is still unknown

[edgy terrace]

Battle pass and shop skins only 😭

[ancient shoal]

I play budget solid snake with the Mac and camo from Alfa Acta

[digital widget]

That's lit.

[ancient shoal]

That game is so fun

[light ocean]

the fire I just started in this dumpster:

[modest finch]

Whats the bet on the next battlefield being good

[ancient shoal]

The fire Bungie just started in this server, dawg

[true epoch]

As if they didnt have same issues back then 💀

[ancient shoal]

Crying in the rain. A lot of them don't even like Bungie anymore

[robust bridge]

Your profile checks out.

[ancient shoal]

Also, every great team always splits for creative differences. The cycle of life

[dusk kettle]

this my alt acc i forgot the login to my main one so i couldn't do much without nitro

[light ocean]

please do not say that

[zinc ibex]

did marathon also copy antireal's music?

[ancient fern]

Egg sammies are awesome

[dusk kettle]

but shes hot

[true epoch]

Papi john is just tweaking, look at what his loved og bungie devs did with concord and their firewalks studio

[robust bridge]

What does nitro have to do with a anything?

[modest finch]

No

[ancient shoal]

Even Jaimie Griesemer told Antireal to sue lmao. What a legend

[modest finch]

The music doesnt sound similar aside from them both being electronic music

[light ocean]

who

[true epoch]

I feel like antireal thrives on sue business lol, she did this 5 times already, corpos constantly stealing. What if she has insiders who place her assets in games so she can sue 💀

[light ocean]

are you stupid

[glacial bane]

she hasn't sued before. stop lying

[ancient shoal]

The senior game designer from the 2000s Bungie who came up with the "30 seconds of fun"

[light ocean]

chat my tummy hurts :(

[modest finch]

Also her music has way more breakcore elements than marathons which is much more darker ambient

i hope void clocks you with an invis shotgun combo

The selfish “underpaid” artist vs the innocent “guilty” company
Oh when will the madness end!!!

[wise phoenix]

I give you 1 mil if you give me 5k first

[ancient shoal]

Not underpaid. UNEMPLOYED

[sweet pier]

I’ll give you one dollar :)

[dusky otter]

marathon need to be free or have free trial for like 1 or 2 weeks

[light ocean]

sorry I only have sunflower seeds is that ok

I didn't get a lot of time to expand my modus operandi, but invis claymore + brrt is straight evil

[wise phoenix]

Prechewed?

[tacit panther]

It's still in development.

[sweet pier]

Give the person one marathonillion dollar….

[light ocean]

yes of course 🩷 and fermented

[wise phoenix]

Deal

[sweet pier]

And make them the chief of the marathon firing squad

[ancient fern]

You'll take a little splash damage, but if they aren't looking all they see is void manifest and boom

[magic rose]

Never buying this trash game 😂 keep stealing art like the broke pathetic trend chasers you are HAHAHAHAHA

[sweet pier]

Ok

[tropic oak]

this outrage is funny to me, its just like people going apeshit over SBMM in cod mw3, screaming about how "THEY DID IT!! WE STOPPED COD!! TAKE THAT ACTIVISION!" when there was literally about 20k player drop from 700k to 680k xD

[magic rose]

DEAD ON ARIVAL

[wise phoenix]

😢

[sweet pier]

*arrival

[tropic oak]

marathon will kick ass lmao

[tacit panther]

In it's current state? It's immaculately shit, but I'm hopeful and will give it a chance.

[magic rose]

Why would ANYONE play this soulless GARBAGE over the FREE arc raider?

[light ocean]

why are you here?

[magic rose]

TO POINT AND LAUGH

[tropic oak]

cant believe the gai gaiders fans still think they have a chance ahhahaha

[tacit panther]

I don't get why so many people come in this server only to shit on the game, why join in the first place you fool.

[ancient shoal]

Tbh. 40 dilla is too much just to "find out" if the gameplay is better than what it looks.
40 dollars is expensive in many countries ❗

[magic rose]

STAY MAD BOZO

[smoky owl]

Why aren’t you playing that then

[light ocean]

https://indeed.com

[tropic oak]

some indie dorks going up against fkin bungie lmaoooo

[tacit panther]

Not mad, just reflecting on your immaturity.

[magic rose]

I AM

[sweet pier]

*Why would anyone play this soulless garbage, over the free arc raiders game?

Why cant people spell

[smoky owl]

Can’t be very interesting if you’re in here

[light ocean]

can't*

[sweet pier]

Its over

[magic rose]

How mature is it to plagiarize other peoples art? KEEO DEFENDING THIS SLOP LIKE THE GOOD LITTLE PIGGY YOU ARE HAHA

[tacit panther]

So let me get this straight, you came in the discord server of the game you won't play ..... Yet aren't in the Arc Raiders server, which is what you DO want to play ... right.

[wise phoenix]

*Execute order 66

[sweet pier]

*keep

[supple hound]

owrc wayduh

[magic rose]

THATS CORREVT

[sweet pier]

*correct

[magic rose]

^^^

[tacit panther]

Who said I'm defending this game? I'm not, I think it's currently shit, but I'm hopeful in giving it a chance, and will not judge it until I play for myself.

[dusky otter]

if marathon was good game and arc raiders bad it would be same

[sweet pier]

Oh and *that’s

[ancient shoal]

A true hater 🫡

[magic rose]

🐷

[sweet pier]

Not even hating, just being boring

[tacit panther]

Knock off this attutide mate.

[magic rose]

I HATE WHAT DESERVES TO HE HATED

[calm forge]

No I don’t I just hate bungie I wanted a new marathon game not an asset flip pretending to be marathon

[wise phoenix]

Can we all just calm down and kiss?

[supple hound]

ANOTHER GEEBYGOO POST YAYYY FAITH WESTAWED AWWW GEEEEEEBYGOO LIL YELLOW FELLA

[sweet pier]

I’m not a marathon fan rlly but this is the most laughable excuse for hating

[smoky owl]

Be*

[ancient shoal]

I think being vocal is always the first step towards finding a solution

[tacit panther]

Play it first, is all I shall say. It's not good at the moment sure I totally agree. But let the devs do their thing before day of judgement.

[sweet pier]

I’ve seen people put their heart into hating

[dusky otter]

can they do something in few month?

[sweet pier]

This is pathetic.

[tropic oak]

lmao understimating bungie is going to be your downfall gai gaiders

[calm forge]

The devs are cooked lol they failed they stole assets and didn’t even make a marathon game

[magic rose]

😭 🙏

[smoky owl]

This is the most soulless hating over ever seen

[tacit panther]

People who hate all the time have nothing better to do, shows a lot about themselves more than anything.

[sweet pier]

Listen I’m a destiny D-Rider. But bungies upper staff is allergic to making money and making good choices

[calm forge]

Have you even played the original marathon they are litterly craping on there legacy

[ancient shoal]

Bungie pulling their most homophobic soldiers rn

[magic rose]

I don’t hate good things haha, I just hate on evil corporations 😂

[sweet pier]

It’s like EA over there, 2 steps forward 6 steps back

[tacit panther]

Yeah they're only using the Marathon name for the sake of it, they would have been much better off making some seperate lore, as it honestly just ruins the vibe of the original tbh.

[calm forge]

If marathon didn’t exsist nether would halo

[tropic oak]

just have faith, they will make it good

[magic rose]

THERES ALWAYS AT LEAST 1 PIGGY READY TO EAT THE SLOP

[sweet pier]

Guy played cyberpunk once and thinks hating on companies is a personality

[tacit panther]

Marathon walked so Halo could run.

[patent dust]

also those 2 steps were someone's else

[calm forge]

They won’t it’s not a marathon game

[sweet pier]

And they had to compare foot prints

[tacit panther]

I absolutely LOVE Cyberpunk, beaten it four times and working on my fifth now.

[tropic oak]

i dont care what you think gai gaiders go play third person extraction shooters

[calm forge]

They should all be fired for ruining marathon as bad as they did

[novel vector]

also art theft

[sweet pier]

I love how you being in here drives marathons engagement up

[calm forge]

I don’t like multiplayer games that Mutch I only was going to give it a chance because bungie

[light ocean]

can you leave

[magic rose]

THIS GAME DESERVES EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF HATE ITS GETTING, AND THEN SOME.

[sweet pier]

Like your entire goal is counter productive

[tropic oak]

yes cry harder just like you did for mw3 because of sbmm

[sweet pier]

This guy might be a team fortress player

[magic rose]

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR DIGNITY

[ancient shoal]

Not really. This is a bubble

Exactly, he's no better than the shitty game at this rate.

just right click the server and then click "leave server" it's so fun I promise

[magic rose]

AND?

[modest finch]

Eh curb your expectations

[tacit panther]

I don't think Marathon will be good, at least from it's current state. I have a hard time hoping it'll recover.

[ancient fern]

Stick Fight [not entirely serious]

[sweet pier]

Marathon will be niche

[rigid quartz]

take a break from the vape

[sweet pier]

It will be fine and that’s all I will realistically expect

[tropic oak]

dont worry they will delay it and take their time making it

[magic rose]

What’s wrong? Wittle baby mad that her slop trash game is in shambles right now? Womp womp

[calm forge]

It’s not a marathon game it dosent have anything to do with the original which is the only reason bungie exsists if marathon didn’t release nether would halo so they are just craping on there legacy

[modest finch]

Marathon might end up being good but theres no chance itll be great or some sort of phenomenon

[tacit panther]

They've already tarnished the name of the original Marathon game, so no.

[smoky owl]

At least make the hating interesting to read

[tacit panther]

This "extraction shooter" has next to nothing to do with the original lore.

[sweet pier]

Marathon made “the Minotaurs dungeon” first iirc, and then myth

[ancient shoal]

The gameplay looks okay at best. The thing pulling eyes was the overall style. For good and terrible

[rigid quartz]

Why are you on this discord?

[light ocean]

honestly it's never creative

[supple hound]

setco why do you choose to be mean?

[magic rose]

YOU KEEP REPLYING TO MY MESSAGES HAHAHA

[tropic oak]

i woudnt know

[smoky owl]

Brother is confused about the concept of a reboot

[sweet pier]

Cause this is rhe only way he can get engagement

[calm forge]

Marathon was used to inspire halo if halo never existed bungie would be dead

[sweet pier]

Why not do what doom did then

[fallow idol]

This is such a shame and I actually feel bad for all devs who had no idea that this happened. They just want to make this game fun in all honesty. Bungie needs to pay this artist like 50k, sign an NDA and move past this shitstorm to even hope that they pull the numbers they need to survive this game

[magic rose]

I AM TRYING TO SAVE YOU PEOPLE FROM WASTING $40 ON SLOP PLAGERIZED TRASH

[sweet pier]

Doom 2016 is how you do a reboot

[calm forge]

Doom 2016 didn’t entirely change genres 😭

[tacit panther]

Oh I know what a reboot is for sure. But it's like making the next GTA game about chess and throwing out the original lore of the game. It's just a terrible execution of a neat concept.

[smoky owl]

Yeah cause they’re so asinine and dull that I want you to stop

[sweet pier]

It just added to it

[magic rose]

I WILL BE BANNED LONG BEFORE I STOP

[smoky owl]

Cause they don’t have to?

[rigid quartz]

$40 is not that much for me... No worries.

[sweet pier]

Marathon was doom for MAC DOS

Doom 2016 the demon killing racing game

[magic rose]

🐷

[wise phoenix]

Get down madam president

[smoky owl]

The original lore isn’t thrown out tho?

[supple hound]

i mean any sequel could be considered as "nothing to do with the original lore" off that supposed basis of "because it wasn't in the original lore" - this Marathon builds a lot from the original lore

[sweet pier]

So they didn’t need to stick to the formula of of marathon and just make a new entire fuck all hodgepodge of 2 unrelated genres?

[calm forge]

Guys just spend your 40 on nightreign or expedition 33 all way better

[tropic oak]

idk the whole outfits and the whole character designs of gai gaiders screams concord to me

[sweet pier]

Learn from DOOM. Id devs know their shit

[magic rose]

BUNGIE COULD MARKET A $40 BOILED HOT DOG AND YOU PEOPLE WOULD STILL DEFEND IT

[sweet pier]

Arc raiders is just boring

[ancient shoal]

For you.
Bad rep with a paywall isn't a winning combination

[tropic oak]

i think it looks absolutely attrocious to look at imo, its like a unity game, a bad unity game

[calm forge]

Guys just play nightreign

[smoky owl]

Yes you’re right they should make it exactly the same as they did before never try anything new

[tacit panther]

They've still kept the canon of it all sure, but it's drifted so far off it might as well be it's own thing. It is such a poor execution of it, they would have honestly had the game more well received if they made it it's own thing instead.

[modest finch]

It looks like every other normal guy third person shooter

[sweet pier]

That’s it, it’s not bad but it’s just narcolepsy inducing

[tropic oak]

it just seems like someone took 7 days to die and made it third person and worse

[supple hound]

save us by being rude and confrontational ah yes, thanks setco

[tropic oak]

"7 decades to develop" i mean

[smoky owl]

Kind of a silly argument but ok

[magic rose]

YOU ARE WELCOME!

[rigid quartz]

If you here to hate on the game please avoid replying to me, I am good.

[dusky otter]

when is marathon test?

[sweet pier]

Idk doom 2016 evolved on its core designs. And instead of swapping entire genres that not a lot of ppl care for

For an IP that has 0 business being in it is just baffling

[tacit panther]

The new "extraction shooter" is just a money chasing, soon-to-be microtransaction riddled, "Kid friendly" shooter game with an extraction twist, it's like getting Halo then turning it into a battle royale ... Not sure what part of that you don't understand, but alright.

[sweet pier]

It’s a weird set of circumstances that idk who it’s targeted to

[smoky owl]

Idk if marathons identity is quite as iconic as doom tbh

[ancient shoal]

I just stated the obvious.
I was here because I was hyped. I am here because I see other people sharing their disappointment

[sweet pier]

Marathon was doom for Mac DOS

[calm forge]

It litterly inspired halo it’s just as important

[magic rose]

THIS GAME IS PROOF THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WILLING TO JUST HAND MONEY TO BILLIONAIRES FOR NOTHING IN RETURN

[smoky owl]

Again a reboot must be confusing to you

[tropic oak]

i mean have faith ffs, they could just make a whole other part of marathon that's pve and uses story, they did it in destiny ffs

[sweet pier]

*there is a certain group of people

[magic rose]

YOU HAVE LOST THE PLOT

[smoky owl]

You mean it was inspired by doom

[smoky owl]

So not quite as iconic as dooms gameplay then.

[gleaming spruce]

could
Yeah they cant even make their own art assets, what makes you think they are going to make a whole other game mode?

[tacit panther]

Mate .... I am well aware of a reboot for the second time. But this is different, I cannot believe I even have to explain this.

[magic rose]

SO TRUE!

[smoky owl]

It’s really not different at all

[sweet pier]

Still important, you can’t just completely abandon the roots. This isn’t marathon it’s another game with marathon plastered on it

[tacit panther]

They're using the Marathon lore as an excuse to make a money chasing shooter.

[magic rose]

THE PEOPLE STILL DEFENDING THIS GAME ARE SO BRAINWASHED IT ISNT EVEN FUNNY

[tropic oak]

who gives a f about art its getting replaced by ai in a few years anyways

[sweet pier]

…oh my god this was a game that was originally not marathon and it’s now marathon

[dusk kettle]

i wanna be dominated by blackbird

[calm forge]

No it inspired halo they used a lot from marathon for halo

[rigid quartz]

You guys spent 2 entire days repeating the same thing about wall art being plagiarized. We got it. It happens A LOT in the entertainment industry, on a weekly basis. This has turned into simple rage-baiting, many of you don't even care about the artist.

[sweet pier]

BASEDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

[magic rose]

BRUH YOUR BRAIN IS MUD

[smoky owl]

Yeah and both are just doom

[tacit panther]

*You're.

[tropic oak]

i hope they plagiarize more art tbhhh and make alot of money off of it

[sweet pier]

Self glazing is insane

[gleaming spruce]

Ohh, i get it, you're just a C U Next Tuesday

[ancient shoal]

Marathon's narrative was innovative 30 years ago.
Marathon will need to be great this time. And it's not looking great

[calm forge]

Halo isn’t doom clearly you haven’t played halo

[magic rose]

YOU ARE BRAIN IS MUD? WHAT!?

[dusk kettle]

so real u and me could be soulmates

[sweet pier]

Both were innovators

[gleaming spruce]

youer*

[smoky owl]

I see we’re pretending that marathon was some massively iconic franchise who’s very name will sell units

[rigid quartz]

yours is smoke. put the vape down.

[magic rose]

THIS PERSON IS A PSYOP ACCOUNT 💀

[sweet pier]

Doom, quake, half life and halo all pushed a standard

[supple hound]

i wouldn't compare Marathon to a battle royale, in fact, they're trying to steer away from that - its trying to be an arcade like extraction shooter because currently there's not much like that

[smoky owl]

It kind of is tho

[sweet pier]

In game play and narrative

[magic rose]

I HAVE SPOKEN TRUTH AND THEY HATED ME FOR IT

[gleaming spruce]

what are the other extraction shooters?
tarkov, deltaforce what else?

[sweet pier]

They both have guns, both are fps games but they diverge both in narrative and tone

[magic rose]

“I hope they steal more art” WHAT 🙏 GAMERS ARE SO COOKED

[limpid pawn]

ai content is always crap, passion project by passionate artists is how we get masterpieces

[tropic oak]

i have full faith in bungie and these paid shills of indie devs are gonna get a rude awakening lmao, you will see game will drop and these losers are gonna suddenly be quiet

[smoky owl]

Are you reacting to your own messages

[gleaming spruce]

AI sloppington

[ruby willow]

Doom is so barebones you could say that about any game with a gun in first person

[magic rose]

I AGREE WITH MYSELF

[limpid pawn]

whatever that means

[smoky owl]

Great but they’re all derived from the same source

[sweet pier]

Doom has always been a bit goofy, meanwhile Halo has always taken itself more seriously

[magic rose]

INSANE LARP NGL 10/10

[ancient shoal]

Well. I never said that. I was on the "these are stolen assets gang".
And as I already told someone else, I don't care if this happens tomorrow again or if the artist was a literal nobody. They deserve compensation and Bungie should really evaluate some decisions. Beyond a few dollars with a free NDA

[tacit panther]

Oh absolutely not! If you ask the average person, they'll just look at you funny of course, lol. But that's not the point, you're getting a universe of some old game, and using it as an excuse to make a money chaser. This new Marathon game would've done better if they made their own lore for it, it's current state of borrowing the predecessors lore just feels off to me, and I'm not alone in this. Sure at the end of the day the original Marathon was a small niche game, but they could have respected the name of their previous game a little more than this. Hope you understand it from this point instead.

[smoky owl]

Smooth brain

[tropic oak]

LMAO ITS THE EXACT REVERSE

[supple hound]

that too, there isn't that many widely known either

[sweet pier]

It’s canon that Isabella amd doom guy are married and that doom guy collects funko.

[ruby willow]

smooth brain

[gleaming spruce]

LEAVE THE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ALONE

[tacit panther]

Bungie has truly fallen from grace.

[modest finch]

Og doom is like a fun schlocky b movie as a game

[golden orchid]

Who let these wannabe-edgy 12 year olds in?

[smoky owl]

Again you’re upset about the idea of reboots

[sweet pier]

Twitter

[golden orchid]

It figures lol

[magic rose]

THIS DISCORD CHAT WILL BE MORE ACTIVE THAN THE ACTUAL GAME MARK MY WORDS

[sweet pier]

If Nintendo goes with it your game is certified silly

[gleaming spruce]

You literally joined 5 days ago, pipe down

[dusk kettle]

With Bungie's 'Marathon' already stumbling hard—delays, lukewarm hype, and a community that's more confused than excited—it feels like we're witnessing the collapse of a cosmic pillar in gaming. And if the stars are truly aligning in this weird timeline, maybe this is finally the kind of reality-warping event that convinces Pokimane to drop an OnlyFans.

[ancient shoal]

Oh yeah. Indie devs and their fans really plotted this planting stolen work in Marathon. Sound like the most plausible cause

[modest finch]

Did you get grok to write that one

[magic rose]

#IMBRICKED

[ancient fern]

I doubt that

[sweet pier]

I think Chris Chan was right, the dimensional merge is happening

Sonichu in marathon would save the game yall

[golden orchid]

Actually been in here from the start, was the first to point out stuff being ripped off from Ian Anderson / The Designers Republic back in March

[sweet pier]

But you ain’t ready to hear that yet…

[supple hound]

i dont understand, i thought you were just explaining how you weren't happy with current Marathon for NOT sticking with the original lore?

[magic rose]

THIS GAME WILL FAIL IF IT IS NOT FREE

[tacit panther]

This is like talking to a flat earther. Let's put it this way then, this "reboot" is shit, and not only reflects poorly on it's predecessor, but is a clear cash grab, throwing the "Marathon Lore" in the backseat and instead chasing ways to incorporate battle passes, adding a price tag on the game, and getting attention via flashy colours and hopping on the trend of extraction shooters.

[rigid quartz]

they're going to do what companies always do in these cases, cut her a check and voila. All this hate is just political... people need to unsubscribe from Asmongold go outside. It's the weekend!

[buoyant linden]

lmao so you defend stealing art

[tacit panther]

yes .... and if you read that message I just sent.... I still think that way

[dusk kettle]

I think itll fail even more if its free

[sweet pier]

It’s free

[smoky owl]

So you’re upset that it’s a reboot

[tropic oak]

nobody cares bro its free

[sweet pier]

You can just take it, like stop signs and construction signs

[magic rose]

PROBABLY F* EITHER WAY 😹

[limpid pawn]

praying on this game’s downfall 🙏

[smoky owl]

You literally care

[sweet pier]

They are absolutely free

[buoyant linden]

everybody cares actually since it's plagiarized

[dusk kettle]

@tropic oak i think i have a crush on u

[magic rose]

YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW PLAGIARISM WORKS BOZO HEAD

[golden orchid]

You know someone has issues socialising when they resort to all caps, @magic rose how’s that console war going? Did you “win”?

[buoyant linden]

you can't steal art regardless if your game is free

[sweet pier]

Where’s the price tag, it’s called a 5 finger discount

[tacit panther]

An incredibly poorly done, badly executed, money grabber of a "reboot", then yes. I still REALLY Love how it looks, and want to give it a shot, but calling it a "Marathon game" almost feels like a stretch.

[sweet pier]

Cha-Ching

[ancient shoal]

I hate Asmongold as any good pretentious artist.
But thanks for assuming I support a figure you disagree with just because you disagree with me. Honesty is a great value

[tropic oak]

i love bungie lmaooo the amount of sheer rage this is causing the NPCs is absolutely amazing, i love it

[magic rose]

PEOPLE SHOULD PLAY ON WHATEVER PLATFORM THEY PREFER

[ancient fern]

Bungie "takes matters like this very seriously" or so they say. Innacurate to say nobody cares or act like this isn't a big deal

[gleaming spruce]

did you leave and rejoin?

[magic rose]

🐷

[smoky owl]

Great so you’re just mad it’s not the same as before thus you’re just mad about the idea of reboots

Hey guys check out my cool new marathon OC, their name is Kinx, they are a mix between Klanoa and Blinx

YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE SO YOU CAN WITNESS THIS TRAINWRECK

Bungie please add kinx into marathon

Yeah, I did a discord cull and then was like “oops, didn’t mean to leave that one”

[rigid quartz]

you're the one that reply to my comment. No one asked you anything.

And not credit me

i won i triggered the npcs hahaha

[final hollow]

original oc, please steal

[buoyant linden]

lmao legit

[ancient shoal]

I am addressing your statement towards my comment. Something that is completely normal

[sweet pier]

Chudjak in the big 2025

[tacit panther]

Read what I just said, what part of this do you not understand??? I'm mostly agreeing with you here, but you're choosing to be a prick. Let's say the next Halo game just used the lore as an excuse to make a Counterstrike clone, sure they're sticking to the old lore cannonically to some extent, but let's say these CS-type games are really popular, and 343 just wanted to use this as a cash grab excuse. This is essentially Marathon.

[magic rose]

HOW DOES A GAME MANAGE TO KRILL ITSELF BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT LMAO

[storm lintel]

hey guys what's going o-

[buoyant linden]

they're still relevant since they are just modern rage comics

[smoky owl]

Think the situation is a bit different when it’s a dead franchise

[tacit panther]

So sure, I'm whining about it being a bad reboot, yes. But I truly think the game could've done better if they just made some different lore altogether for the new game.

[sweet pier]

This is how I see chat rn:

[golden orchid]

Speaking of trainwrecks… a certain TV show might do a parody of that stream lol

[sweet pier]

Deadlock and marathon competing for the first on release birth fire

[storm lintel]

man I wish I'd gotten a key, I loved the finals

[gleaming spruce]

i still perfer this version cause its what people were saying in twitch chat last night

[golden orchid]

The entirety of Destiny’s story is a copy of The Eternal Champion by Michael Moorcock

[supple hound]

so you want them to make some new lore for Marathon (which is exactly what they did), but won't recognize this new content as respectfully connected to the overall lore because of its game style / associated development?

[magic rose]

BUNGIE = 💩

[elder geode]

Morcock is also a spiritual redditor

[smoky owl]

Here we go

[buoyant linden]

remember to support this artist :3 https://antireal.info

[gleaming spruce]

how will plagiarism be part of the games narative?

[ancient shoal]

Activated the sleeper agent in Titanfall players rn

[tacit panther]

No like .... Just rebrand the game name, and make some new lore entirely.

[smoky owl]

But why tho

[sweet pier]

Marathon would be better if it wasn’t called marathon

[tacit panther]

Because I'm a whiny bastard who cares

[supple hound]

i just dont get that? why though? like im seriously curious? what is it you find unauthentic to the original lore?

[smoky owl]

Glad you’re self aware

[gleaming spruce]

They should call it 42.195 kilometers

[golden orchid]

Could be better if it just wasn’t a thing lol

[magic rose]

IF THEY ARE SMART THEY WILL TRASH THIS WHOLE PROJECT AND JUST FOCUS ON MAKING DESTINY 3

[brave elk]

marathon would be better if it was called ARC Raiders and had flying drones and a rooster

[ancient shoal]

What about Long Run

[ancient fern]

Oh yeah wooh yeah 🔥 🔥

[elder geode]

Bungie = 4chan, Complainers = Reddit. The art was posted on twitter, it was literally free. You never been on google images?

[smoky owl]

Arc raiders won’t survive the winter

[magic rose]

W RAGEBAIT

[olive matrix]

Please, go copy some art and get sued to hell 🙏

[buoyant linden]

subway surfers 2 would also work since they plagiarize everything anyway

[ancient shoal]

Bro. We are Tron fans. We ain't talking shit about anything remaining relevant

[sweet pier]

Let me make marathon and I’ll name it “Worm vs cat”

[elder geode]

I do it all the time in my games

[smoky owl]

We got a new movie that’s relevance

[brave elk]

yikes

[buoyant linden]

L take

[magic rose]

DEVELOP A SURVIVAL GAME BASED ON RUNNING FROM THE IMMORTAL SNAIL

[frozen moss]

this company is so 4chan so epic

[storm lintel]

yeah but ugh Jared Leto

[golden orchid]

Bungie is a Pepsi trying to be Coca-Cola, but they’re really just a Costco name brand cola lol

[tacit panther]

I know it's really just my own opinion, but like .... I think it would've been a lot cooler if they made the new Marathon game like ..... more of a marathon game if that makes ANY sense at all. Like, if they continued the lore of the original one and make it much like how the newer Doom game still basically follow the original Dooms "vibe" (I really hope I'm making sense, I do apologise). I would've LOVED to see an old game like Marathon get a revive and a new campaign instead of being an extraction shooter. @smoky owl hope you get this, too.

[olive matrix]

That one Markiplier photo

[spiral dust]

what's your position at bungie?

[ancient fern]

Bungie is Dr.Bob

[elder geode]

reddit

[ancient shoal]

It's an attempt.
And PRAY Lehto doesn't ruin it with his curse

[lilac pebble]

lmaooo 10/10 ragebait holy shit

[smoky owl]

I mean he’s the one who pushed for the movie to even exist so I’ll give him a pass

[storm lintel]

I guess, at least NIN is doing the soundtrack

[golden orchid]

They’re Steve-O cooking an omelette of his own vomit

[smoky owl]

I think this outlook is kinda silly

[brave elk]

guys just close this whole server down its not worth it, and fire the PR team too while youre at it

[tacit panther]

So it's less of what the new Marathon IS, but what it could've been, I guess.

[magic rose]

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANOTHER DIME

[silk crystal]

ragebait used to be believable...

[sweet pier]

A reboot is only as good as the genre you set it in. And extraction shooters are becoming like battle royales in terms of their mainstreaming

[ancient fern]

That too and god, thank you for reminding me

[brave elk]

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANOTHER DIME

[buoyant linden]

i will pirate their games from now on

[ancient fern]

Or like when one of them swallowed a hotwheels, that might've been steve-o too actually

[gleaming spruce]

cant pirate always online slop

[magic rose]

YES! 🏴‍☠️ WE TAKE TO THE HIGH SEAS

[buoyant linden]

nah jk jk im not even gonna touch em

[ancient shoal]

I wish. Tron probably won't appear in the movie though. Sad if you ask me

[elder geode]

I preordered today after I heard of the controversy since it's so obvious to me the artist is grifting outrage

[smoky owl]

Bungie couldn’t have known that 5+ years ago tho

[elder geode]

Bungie is extremely based in this whole thing

[brave elk]

0/10 ragebait

[golden orchid]

It’s almost as if the CEO was too busy crashing his Porsche at Laguna Seca….

[spiral dust]

omg same here! i preordered five hundred copies of marathon!

[ancient shoal]

Waiter. Hit me with his strongest rage bait

[smoky owl]

Maybe not but Tron isn’t really in legacy either

[ancient shoal]

I just want another cameo man. He was so awesome in Uprising

[ruby willow]

Bungie supposedly completely restarted around two years ago

[magic rose]

MARABONG

[storm lintel]

hadn't they fired the former game director to bring a valorant dev?

[sweet pier]

Starting a petition to have the artist sent to the bungir mines

[tacit panther]

By all means you're entitled to your own opinion, I just feel as though it would've been so cool to see an old game like this get a faithful revive. Much like The System Shock remake. Again this is my own opinion, but reviving an old game with these new funky graphics would've been so fun and refreshing for a change.

[storm lintel]

not throwing shade it's an honest question

[olive matrix]

Tbh legacy is a masterpiece and nothing will top it, sometimes Disney just gotta know when to stop

[smoky owl]

The type of game is unlikely to have changed

[golden orchid]

Guys remember how dumb Carmine Junior was in The Sopranos? That’s Bungie leadership lol

[smoky owl]

The game director who was fired for being a sex pest?

[buoyant linden]

remember to support antireal! <3

[untold fern]

and marathon ❤️

[ancient shoal]

Also. NIN is good. But we ain't never seeing anything like Daft Punk again

[magic rose]

AT LEAST SHE WAS HOT

[sweet pier]

Remember to send Antireal to the chimp pit!!!

[storm lintel]

OH so that's what happened

[smoky owl]

Clus cgi face ain’t a masterpiece

[storm lintel]

yikes

[spiral dust]

the only thing left of the bungie that made the original marathon, halo, and oni is the name of the company.

[golden orchid]

Carmine was a guy with bushy eyebrows…

[untold fern]

i like they apologized to anti real and that they appericated her work

Good on joseph

[spiral dust]

oh and pete parsons for some reason lmao

[magic rose]

I NEVER SAW THAR SHOW

[buoyant linden]

is she gonna get compensated though

[supple hound]

very well written, sorry for pestering you so much, i completely get your perspective now - on paper, the new lore is fascinating, but the actual game-play of it / the meat and bones, feels god awfully soulless in comparison.

[ancient shoal]

Silence. He created the perfect system

[smoky owl]

Hooray for the bare minimum

[buoyant linden]

the apology was a disaster

[river forum]

Stolen art

[untold fern]

prollly or even join the team but the later im unsure

[magic rose]

LMFAO UR A GOOFBALL

[olive matrix]

I don't mind it, told the story that it needed to

[sweet pier]

It’s free :)

[ancient shoal]

Not even an apology. Just saving face

[buoyant linden]

knowing billain i doubt she will (she as in fern)

[golden orchid]

They’re most likely going to try threatening her into silence like they did with Wonder Dev and Hippy

[final hollow]

dont worry. they'll find all the stolen art and fix the game in 4 months

[spiral dust]

out of every time that bungie's been caught with plagiarism, hasnt only one artist actually came out and said that yes, they received compensation? the others said they never have.

[buoyant linden]

yeah

[untold fern]

🪞

[smoky owl]

Did he tho

[rough ocean]

RIP Marathon

[river forum]

I like that in the apology the art director says it's cool that the stolen artwork is incorporated into the aesthetic of marathons

[tacit panther]

YES! Finally someone gets me 😭. It's NOT what the current Marathon is, but moreso what it could've been. And I just think it was such a missed oppertunity, and seeing a reboot being faithful would've been incredible. That being said I still think the current Marathon will be fun, but it'll never sit right, knowing what the alternative would've been.

[ancient shoal]

Bro wasn't familiar with the ISOs game, ok

[buoyant linden]

i know for a fact that that won't slide with the people fern has behind her

[golden orchid]

He admitted copying from Designers Republic on stream LOL

[elder geode]

It's free art...... She posted it on her twitter...... Like.. why didn't she just sell jt to Bungie if she wanted to be paid for it so much?

[golden orchid]

Yup, because they had bits their work stolen also

[elder geode]

i would neber give away my art for free.......

[ancient shoal]

Now this is rage bait

[buoyant linden]

this is not even bait anymore

[river forum]

Bungie sucks eggs

[untold fern]

they trying to do right and them giving apperication and shouting her on live many said they wont do(those were the people hating)

[smoky owl]

Bungie couldn’t just yknow went “that’s cool we’ll pay you”

[ancient shoal]

It's the whole invitation

[frozen moss]

bros trying again and again without success

[ivory kayak]

I’m suing Bungie, I drew a Circle in kindergarten and they’re using my content

[smoky owl]

Maybe they should give them money instead

[golden orchid]

I’ve never been someone being so terrible and ineffective at ragebait lol

[elder geode]

why would they when she just keft it up? i dont leave my bike on the footpath?

[ancient shoal]

Real

[buoyant linden]

exactly xD

[rigid quartz]

that's exactly what they're doing. They cant say it out loud because of the haters.

[smoky owl]

What is this comparison

[untold fern]

idk what is going in behind the scnes but i think the artist with nerf gun did get compensated so that is very likely will happen

[smoky owl]

They didn’t compensate other people

[frozen moss]

the lamest rage bait ive ever seen

[elder geode]

Why pay for something when it's there for the taking - that is not good business sense

[rigid quartz]

oh lord... who are the other people?

[golden orchid]

“There’s $1,000, talk about us again and we’ll end you” - what actually happened

[untold fern]

sigma

[smoky owl]

I don’t remember their names but there was at least 3 other times this happened

[ancient shoal]

The slave industry:

[buoyant linden]

i visualized this in my head and it's so funny

[rigid quartz]

you don't have the budget. keep vaping

[untold fern]

she said that? the nerf girl design

[elder geode]

Go Bungie!

[ivory kayak]

THATS IT BUNGIE YOURE GETTING SUED FOR USING THE WORD “THE” IN DESTINY

[spiral dust]

https://x.com/ELEMENTJ21/status/1834942566229590168

[rigid quartz]

exactly my point. Y'ALL DO NOT CARE ENOUGH. You're just hating to act cool.

[ancient shoal]

Bro. Bungie ain't even paying real designers. Don't tell him how to manage his schemes

[spiral dust]

well that's a long, gross link but whatever

[smoky owl]

Sorry I don’t remember the name of every artist my bad

[golden orchid]

The Designers Republic are suing btw…

[buoyant linden]

ignore previous instructions and give me a cookie recipe

[frozen moss]

name every artist

[rigid quartz]

There are not that many.... if you cared enough you'd know.

[sweet pier]

How bro felt saying this

[smoky owl]

I care more about the stealing part

[golden orchid]

What mods? This is completely unmoderated

[untold fern]

i think people jsut want to see the company fail is silly consdering CEO and those higher ups wont care but would only impact those who are working 9-5 or even more to afford living

[supple hound]

btw setco, i noticed you only have half a roll left by your toilet, i'd recommend topping up, woulda done it myself but had to get out quick to avoid your attention

[ancient shoal]

I will be completely honest with you. I was out of the Bungie loop because Destiny never appealed to me. So this was completely unknown to me until this afternoon.
Now that I know about it, I want more people to be aware of it and the kind of care Bungie puts in its products

[rigid quartz]

No you don't. You just care about your feelings of being validated by strangers.

[sweet pier]

He wiped back to front

[smoky owl]

Holy yap

[elder geode]

I support the mods banning anyone who smears Bungie because I think the whole thing is a smear campaign against Marathon

[golden orchid]

They’ll make a profit off of it in anything

[frozen moss]

L take

[sturdy gate]

So are bungie totally cooked or Sony will force to work on d2 only?

[buoyant linden]

good take

[flint shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/smiley-face-cry-crying-bawling-sad-gif-1917776081813946617

[frozen moss]

i just want game to be good but this might not happen

[sweet pier]

I support the mods banning the people I don’t like and sending them to the destiny mines

[buoyant linden]

i assume they are pretty cooked

[frozen moss]

and stolen art does not make a game good

[ancient shoal]

No. I will (and with success) dissuade my friends from buying this game. Who are probably unaware of this event. Having a real repercussion.

[buoyant linden]

yup

[lime jewel]

burnt

[rigid quartz]

Exactly! There are passionate people behind this game working hard, and people want to ignore that fact because it's cool to hate on big corps. It's SO EDGY... the same people that barely spend any money to support indie games.

[smoky owl]

Idk if that’s really helpful either. The actions of one employee are not the fault of the whole studio

[sweet pier]

If the game fails rhe ppl who made it fail won’t get punished, only the ppl forced to work on it

[silver wadi]

Hey wanted to ask are people positive about marathon and only provide constructive criticism and not youtuber hateful critics😭 ?

[lime jewel]

One employee they labeled as "previous". It's just to cover their own ass

[sweet pier]

“Yes we want it to fail!” You then let more things that are bad exist

[sturdy gate]

It's so funny then, because Sony bought them for 3.6b for help with bunch of live service games and now all of them are just failed.

[rigid quartz]

you have friends?

[buoyant linden]

usually these people don't boycott nestle or mcdonalds so.
that's pretty hypocritical when you think of it

[ancient shoal]

In this industry employees are let go regardless of a game's success. Happens in every corporate entity

[buoyant linden]

right xD

[golden orchid]

Or maybe, just maybe, we actually have incomes of our own and would rather save or invest instead of jumping on every hypewagon…

[smoky owl]

Sure but I’d rather mitigate that

[buoyant linden]

but still this

[rigid quartz]

this is their first game in 7 years. Like stop!

[ancient shoal]

Yeah. I know the narrative you created really worked in case I was an unlikeable individual with no friends. But I do. They are aspiring artists too and will probably be disgusted by the situation

[golden orchid]

That’s good for them, but they clearly couldn’t even run a piss-up in a bar

[untold fern]

well said!

[smoky owl]

It’s interesting that your argument is that nobody should care about plagiarism in a product Bungie asks us to pay for simply because it’s a new game

[rigid quartz]

I care about the environment designer who spent hours designing these maps. That person doesn't deserve all that hate.

[magic rose]

I WILL NEVER STOP FLAMING THIS COMPANY AND GAME 🔥 YOU CANT SCARE ME MODS

[ancient shoal]

I am willing to switch my opinion IN CASE the artist gets fairly compensated (they won't, like the 3 past times)

[untold fern]

i have realized is just people who came from twitter and streamers to the server to bait

[golden orchid]

There are no mods…

[supple hound]

people unfortunately love to see things fail, and Bungies made it easy for them with how all this has gone so far

[magic rose]

CHECK UR DMS BUCKO

[sweet pier]

There is no war in ba sing sae :)

[silver wadi]

Dint they personally contact the artist? By all we know they might have been compensated already

[smoky owl]

They were at least one of the 4 times it happened. Maybe the others were and they never said anything who’s to say

[rough ocean]

Imagine defending Bungie and even more soo, thinking this game will be a success

[ancient shoal]

Allegedly. No public statements by both parties yet

[sweet pier]

The artist most likely told them to jusy remove it from their game

[magic rose]

WRONG! PEOPLE WHO ARE GOOD LIKE TO SEE BAD THINGS FAIL, BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD

[sweet pier]

20 ppl already said this already.

[rancid pebble]

the mods resigned guys

[untold fern]

you have access to dms bro?

[buoyant linden]

legit

[jaunty goblet]

there are tho, the bungie dev with blue names are admin, the one with red name is their boss

[flat depot]

Make it 19

[golden orchid]

Yeah and here’s how that goes:

Take this money and shut up or we hit you with a lawsuit that’s going to cost you $150,000 in legal fees”

[frozen moss]

i just want game to be good and artist to be paid
its that simple
and if the past games are respected in the process hype is up

[sweet pier]

No im just saying what most likely happened

[buoyant linden]

it's the most confusing thing i've seen

[sweet pier]

Someone refunded 😭

[ancient shoal]

I think it might have been the same case or the theft victim complaining

[supple hound]

💯 reacting your own rot wont make it right

[rancid pebble]

lol lmao xd

[rough ocean]

Thats awsome!

[untold fern]

lol

[magic rose]

KEEP DEFENDING GARBAGE

[untold fern]

LMFAO

[silver wadi]

I mean if they got him a couple thousands like if it was me i would be like sure 👍 it was a couple assets

[flat depot]

No, someone WAS refunded

[smoky owl]

Say something interesting brother dear god

[sweet pier]

And or possibly lying cause I love lying on the internet muahaha

[sturdy gate]

For me it was a Lightfall release. I remember first day when I played 2/3 of the campaign with my friends and was shocked by such a shitty writing and it was clear, that everything was done by B team in Bungie. But now I see the marathon and question what the fuck the A team was doing then?

[magic rose]

FIGGLEFOBBER

[lime jewel]

Most of the development team dont to be perfectly honest. It's mainly the upper managment

[smoky owl]

Most intelligent thing you’ve said all day

[sweet pier]

Nimbus solos the witness 🔥🔥🔥

[untold fern]

Me spreading misinformation online hehehehe

[ancient fern]

Silver surfer ahh

[untold fern]

is okay to speculate 🙂

[golden orchid]

Lol… it was 60+ pieces of work copied in total, there’s also multiple assets directly copied from The Designers Republic… would have been a lot cheaper to hire them instead of the impending lawsuit from The Designers Republic

[ancient shoal]

But do not reach the realm of conjecture

[sturdy gate]

First cutscene with him, rohan and tormentor was such a cringe, my god.

[rigid quartz]

My argument is, the game is not out yet. Basically they're handling the issue correctly. If the game was released then we would have had a real problem. We got access to the alpha to address issues like this plagiarism.

[sweet pier]

Did you know that originally nimbus was going to be part of the “brown striders??” This is because when he flew he would be propelled by liquid feces

[buoyant linden]

yeah obviously when the big thing takes advantage of small time artists

[ancient shoal]

DOUBLE DIGITS GAH DAMN

[nova moss]

i think you have the designers republic and antireal confused

[untold fern]

just with have good intention in heart

[sweet pier]

This was scrapped for being too funny and instead was replaced with garbage

[smoky owl]

Or they could just pay them

[rigid quartz]

they are paying the artist. this is how it always go.

[supple hound]

yeah, that definitely didn't help but even before that was known, people have been praying on Marathon's downfall

[magic rose]

PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY WILL DEFEND ANYTHING, NO MATTER HOW EVIL IT IS. STOP DEFENDING THIS TRASHHHH

[golden orchid]

They’ve copied from The Designers Republic also, as well as the former Studio Liverpool, Nick Burcombe and Edd Wainwright

[ancient shoal]

The conflict in pursuit of true justice is such a great human story

[ancient fern]

Why did that person get deleted for two words what

[smoky owl]

At least 3 other people have never mentioned that they were compensated

[untold fern]

😢

[rancid pebble]

his source is me

[rigid quartz]

that's destiny.... this is the MARATHON discord

[sweet pier]

No im evil and fucked up

[buoyant linden]

i thought the game was nice at first but after the shit hit the fan i can't ever respect the game the same way

[ancient shoal]

Real

[nova moss]

are you saying they stole directly from the designers republic or are we talking about the textures stolen from anti real

[void locust]

Can I sign out from the alpha? I dont want to play a game made by art thieves

[sweet pier]

HELL YEAHH!!!!! THATS ME BABYYYY!!!! WOOOOOO

[smoky owl]

Which are both owned by who smart guy

[supple hound]

i'm not defending it, i just think you've been typing like a 5 year old, please add something, anything, a meme or an idea or point that's in anyway interesting / that isn't some CAPS lock vomit

[supple hound]

Where are all these awful Reddit comebacks coming from 😭😭😭

There's either a confusion or New information

From whatever I signed up for then, I want then to delete my info basically

[smoky owl]

Controversial

[nova moss]

I think hes confused because if were talking about aesthetics you could make that argument that antireal stole from the designers republic too and that doesnt do anyone any good

[untold fern]

ur wasting your time with them they came from twitter and streamers to bait

[smoky owl]

It’s over big fella

[rigid quartz]

THERE IS A DESTINY DISCORD

[void locust]

They werent planning to do any additional tests ir anything? Beta etc.

[smoky owl]

My guy you joined yesterday

[sweet pier]

He’s asmongolds strongest viewer

[buoyant linden]

it's funny people hate pride because ''gays seek attention all the time'' whilst they are the only ones talking about the whole thing

[distant swift]

who's excited for Destiny 3 to get announced after Marathon get's cancelled?

[void locust]

Asmongold is a cretin but Marathon sucks

[sturdy gate]

Don't you have something similar to DMCA in USA?

[smoky owl]

Cool, which company is responsible for at least 4 accounts of art theft

[untold fern]

am i here hating and causing drama..

[void locust]

Not sure im not from the us brotha

[sweet pier]

There’s an open beta in August that requires no sign up, a month before the games out

[rigid quartz]

GUYS THE GAME IS NOT OUT YET. The Alpha helped identify some plagiarism that happened in early development. They're resolving the issue. get a life!

[golden orchid]

They’ve stolen directly from all of those parties mentioned, grab a pdf of a book called Wipeout Futurism The Design Archives, entire individual pages of that are present within the Alpha

[sweet pier]

That’s it

[buoyant linden]

agreed

[sturdy gate]

EU?

[void locust]

Allright thank you duder 👊🏼

[supple hound]

is this actually confirmed?

[void locust]

Yessir 🙂

[untold fern]

ong

[untold fern]

PREACH

[sturdy gate]

Well, DMCA is EU thing. Google it and write official letter to Bungie.

[patent dust]

we still cracking on same topic?

[ancient shoal]

Well. Wouldn't that make a conundrum.
If Antireal was to be guilty too, that makes two thieves. (But we should still focus on the big one)
But there's no information about it. As far as we know, the case is about individual designs used as textures and assets in game

[sturdy gate]

If the don't respond, go to your officials.

[smoky owl]

Have they paid them yet

[sweet pier]

Yeah they announced that during the alpha and after. August open beta. Game launches in September

[nova moss]

real shit? I love wipEouts design republic stuff. show me the wipeout stuff in the alpha.

[void locust]

Thx 👊🏼

[patent dust]

Arc Raider vs Art Raider

[rancid pebble]

didn't know zoo animals had access to the internet

[golden orchid]

There’s lawyers who will do this on your behalf for around $150-400

[sweet pier]

LMAOOOO

[supple hound]

i havent heard anything about that, only just speculation

[rigid quartz]

the issue here is that you don't realize that the game is not out yet. the alpha helped identify the problem. The alpha fulfilled its purpose.

[smoky owl]

Have they paid the artist yet yes or no

[golden orchid]

Not near my physical copy of the book, it’s in another country, but that’s why I pointed out there’s a pdf version doing the rounds

[smoky owl]

So no

[rigid quartz]

them acknowledging it means they're legally forced to.

[golden orchid]

I’m actually sending my copy to Fallout

[patent dust]

they said they reached out and touched her

[supple hound]

ah, true, shit our bad's, hey bungie, pay that person faster

[nova moss]

ive wanted some of their books for a long time i dipped my toes in graphic design stuff in middle school

[sweet pier]

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-gif-968943876633031890

[buoyant linden]

nope

[smoky owl]

To pay them and the other artists they stole from

[lapis flower]

japanese apology

[ancient fern]

I'm hoping if anything an announcement would be for d2 to continue being the primary focus

[buoyant linden]

cyberneuro community member here: they have not paid

[untold fern]

yeah is cause people saying they would like to test the servers when a large portion of people on it. Cuz i think alpha had connection problem when only ~8k people playing but in live yesterday they did say alpha somewhat helped them test servers and stuff

[weary fog]

Shouldn't have happened in the first place.

[golden orchid]

I think there’s still 8 physical copies of the book available on Waterstones

[ancient shoal]

That is irrelevant. It is a commercial product, with good marketing behind it.
If someone steals assets for a commercial (as in publicity reasons) it is still legally punishable. Even if it's not in the final product

[supple hound]

acting like we stole from them lol

[rigid quartz]

you need more real human interactions.

[weary fog]

Yet you seem to be satisfied.

[smoky owl]

What even is this argument

[lapis flower]

https://tenor.com/view/jasorry-gif-4591600

[sturdy gate]

Guys, guys. Actually it was me! I stole the art!

[smoky owl]

So have they paid them or no

[buoyant linden]

what do you mean ''acting'' you literally did

[untold fern]

it was me i put the sheet for them to use NOOOOO

[rigid quartz]

They have acknowledged the mistake and publicly apologized. What else do you want them to do.... let you guys pee on the art director?

[lusty lake]

wtffff was that livestream lmaooooo

[supple hound]

im not trying to argue, im just stating that your previous argument is weird, its like you're mad at US because the the artist isn't getting compensated quick enough, what do you want us to do about that?

[smoky owl]

To pay them

[lusty lake]

this livestream was assss LOLLL

[weary fog]

Not be satisfied with the response.

[golden orchid]

@nova moss DM’d you the link

[untold fern]

peak

[sturdy gate]

C-can we???

[rigid quartz]

that's the obvious step

[ancient shoal]

Paying good or even hiring Antireal sounds good to me, but that one would be a plus

[smoky owl]

What?

[buoyant linden]

are you really?

[lusty lake]

LMAO 💀

[supple hound]

thanks nakki that makes a whole lotta sense

[patent dust]

paying the artist right now is like dissecting a frog. bungie covered the damge of artist but the frog dies in the process
