“As a former Bungie employee who worked on Marathon, I feel for those still at the studio. Working with engineering / Marathon leadership was extremely toxic and humiliating. I won’t speak about the rest, but Bungie leadership needs to be gutted completely”

#Marathon has an amazing story but its visual style also hooked a lot of people.
I hardly think this was just a "rogue" person cutting corners to reach deadlines.
Bungie got caught for literally inserting obvious copyrighted assets, but the omnius vibe says the whole style was lifted from this particular artist, not just those images.
Can't imagine what else they "borrowed'.
