Bungie will compensate an artist after its Destiny 2 Nerf blaster ripped off their work

Oh right yeah, extra confusing in the way I worded that too.

A guy called Josh commissioned the original art, I don’t know if he was a Bungie employee or not. I was just interested in peoples view of this dynamic. An artist takes money to draw/copy copyright material and then is immediately upset when someone is taking money for their work too. I know it’s not apples to apples, one being a corporation and one being an individual. I was just unsure on where the line is drawn on this kind of stuff as I don’t spend much time in the art communities.
