After accusations of art theft in Marathon and a livestream addressing the issue, Bungie's morale is reportedly in 'free-fall.'
According to current and former employees speaking with Forbes, morale at Bungie is at an all-time low with concerns about the success of Marathon and potential consequences.
Bungie's explanation for the art theft involves assets from a texture sheet created by a former Bungie artist. Marketing plans, including a new trailer, pre-orders, and beta tests, are being reworked.
Despite upcoming Destiny 2 updates and expansions, Bungie faces uncertainties regarding the success of Marathon and the impact of current issues on the game's future.
