Destiny Fan Accuses Bungie Of Stealing Their Design For New Nerf Gun
Normally in gaming, a weapon getting Nerfed means that it will no longer be as useful or fun as it once was. But Bungie's new Destiny 2 Ace of Spades replica gun is an actual working Nerf hand cannon. Now, a Destiny 2 fan has come forward to accuse the company of using a design that lifted from their original artwork for the Ace of Spades Nerf gun that was posted online nearly a decade ago.
On social media, a user who goes by Tofu Bunny posted a link to their original artwork for the Ace of Spades Nerf gun from 2015 and placed images of that artwork side-by-side with the upcoming release. There are definitely some strong similarities between the two, almost on a one-to-one basis.
Hey @Bungie @BungieHelp @DestinyTheGame @A_dmg04 @Cozmo23 @DestinyComArt soo, the NERF ace of spades DIRECTLY lifts a commission i did in 2015. This is not "similar" or a coincidence, you can see my same brush strokes and scratches/smudges.

Tofu Bunny later clarified their belief that a third-party contractor may be responsible for the alleged design theft, rather than Bungie itself. Regardless, Tofu Bunny adds that the entire situation "feels like a punch in the gut. I've been playing this game for a decade and this just sucks."
