Bungie stated tat they will compensate the artist for the stolen artwork used in a recent cutscene. Following the release of the cutscene artist Julian Faylona stated "I just realized Bungie took inspiration from my piece for this week's cutscene. Certainly took me by surprise when I watched the cutscene." Bungie officials spoke to PC Gamer and stated ""Bungie has reached out to ELEMENTJ21 about the art piece from this week's cutscene and are planning to compensate and credit them for their work. We discovered that an external vendor that helped to create this cutscene mistakenly used this art as a reference, assuming it was official Bungie artwork. We are currently waiting to hear back from the artist to take the necessary steps to remedy this situation."
