In a significant turn of events, Scottish artist Fern Hook has been acknowledged as a visual design consultant in Bungie’s latest release, Marathon, after her artwork was used without permission during the game’s alpha testing. This incident underscores the critical importance of proper attribution and ethical sourcing in the gaming industry, a sector that thrives on creativity and collaboration. Last year, Hook publicly accused Bungie of using her assets without consent, prompting the developer to investigate and ultimately confirm the validity of her claims.
