"To be honest, I'm genuinely excited and happy that the piece I made 2 years ago—which, even back then, I fully acknowledged is based on the Destiny franchise—made it into the cutscene," Faylona told PC Gamer."It was totally unexpected and completely caught me by surprise. So much so that I wanted to make a shoutout about it."

In a statement to PC Gamer, Bungie says it's taking steps to repair the situation, which we were told was caused by a mix-up from an"external vendor". "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.

I'm relieved to hear they're planning to compensate and credit Faylona for their work. At the very least, having your creation be mistaken for official Bungie artwork is some form of compliment. Still, making a mistake like this at such a crucial juncture is rough, especially for fans who had their initial reception of this story beat soured by the misstep.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
