It's not like Antireal signed an NDA with them. My hope is based off the fact that Marathon will most likely be a make or break game for Bungie, and they desperately needed that PR situation out of the way to get the maximum amount of players onboard. Throwing money and a title at the artist is a much cleaner solution than trying some underhanded BS that might create an even worse situation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago* (1 child) It's not like Antireal signed an NDA with them.
