We still don&#8217;t have any details on the deal they arrived at (which presumably involved some cash) and probably never will, but one very cool consequence has come to light following Marathon&#8217;s release: Antireal is listed in the game&#8217;s credits, conveniently <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/7\/en\/Marathon\/Credits\" target=\"_blank\">posted on the Bungie website<\/a>, as a freelance visual design consultant.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, it might seem like a fairly minor thing: Just tack another name into a very long list of credits, and forget about it. But for a working artist, this is a big deal. It sucks that the whole thing is rooted in stolen work, but an art credit in a major videogame release, and especially one with a visual style as distinct and powerful as Marathon&#8217;s, is meaningful. Even if the game tanks (and for the record, I don&#8217;t believe it will), years from now people look back on it and say, <em>god damn, that looks good.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, every silver lining has a cloud, and this is no different: On December 24, just a few weeks after saying the matter had been resolved, Antireal discovered her art had been used on a licensed Xbox controller. &#8220;It never ends,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more--clipped\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">it never ends \ud83d\ude2d https:\/\/t.co\/fHD5H2XlSe pic.twitter.com\/HUtLmRGhhQ<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cantworkitout\/status\/2004012288232263973\">December 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"eeff53fe-b819-4569-9fcd-549abe2b687e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Marathon best weapons tier list: Our top picksMarathon roadmap: What's comingMarathon Lockbox Keys: How to get 'emMarathon upgrades: Which to pickIntroducing NuCaloric: Grab the employee IDIntroducing Traxus: Find the terminal Marathon best weapons tier list\" data-dimension48=\"Marathon best weapons tier list: Our top picksMarathon roadmap: What's comingMarathon Lockbox Keys: How to get 'emMarathon upgrades: Which to pickIntroducing NuCaloric: Grab the employee IDIntroducing Traxus: Find the terminal Marathon best weapons tier list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"eUWF25hnKBuYMPFBJKc5yc\" name=\"marathon-boxout\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/its-a-happy-ending-for-the-artist-whose-work-was-stolen-by-bungie-and-used-in-marathon-shes-credited-in-the-game-as-visual-design-consultant.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1032\" height=\"1032\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-weapons-tier-list-best-guns\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"eeff53fe-b819-4569-9fcd-549abe2b687e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Marathon best weapons tier list: Our top picksMarathon roadmap: What's comingMarathon Lockbox Keys: How to get 'emMarathon upgrades: Which to pickIntroducing NuCaloric: Grab the employee IDIntroducing Traxus: Find the terminal Marathon best weapons tier list\" data-dimension48=\"Marathon best weapons tier list: Our top picksMarathon roadmap: What's comingMarathon Lockbox Keys: How to get 'emMarathon upgrades: Which to pickIntroducing NuCaloric: Grab the employee IDIntroducing Traxus: Find the terminal Marathon best weapons tier list\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Marathon best weapons tier list<\/strong><\/a>: Our top picks<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Marathon roadmap<\/strong><\/a>: What&#8217;s coming<br \/><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-lockbox-key-locations\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Marathon Lockbox Keys<\/strong><\/a>: How to get &#8217;em<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-faction-upgrades-best-skills\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Marathon upgrades<\/strong><\/a>: Which to pick<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-introducing-nucaloric-nucal-employee-id\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Introducing NuCaloric<\/strong><\/a>: Grab the employee ID<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/marathon-introducing-traxus-terminal-location\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Introducing Traxus<\/strong><\/a>: Find the terminal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/its-a-happy-ending-for-the-artist-whose-work-was-stolen-by-bungie-and-used-in-marathon-shes-credited-in-the-game-as-visual-design-consultant\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It came to light in 2025 that Bungie had stolen work from artist Antireal and used it in Marathon\u2014and I don&#8217;t mean in the &#8220;borrowed ideas from&#8221; way, I mean in the straight-up &#8220;copied and pasted&#8221; way.
