The mapper and BNs seemed understanding enough since it was habi that enquired to the artist, it's the folks making these kinds of moronic remarks that piss me off
it's not an existential threat to be respectful to the artists who create everything we enjoy in this game
would love to do something similar to project legacy but for backgrounds (and other elements), so we can have an official metadata slot for crediting artists
i personally found it odd that habi decided to elevate it to the artist, much more so by straight up saying "this person stole your work to put in a game"
if it was phrased better it would legitimately be a non-issue
pretty interesting to be caught in the crossfire for once
as much as the game is mostly built around stolen content it is still important to respect creator's terms and wishes, imo the artist opt-out and enforcement of that for example is a good step forward for the game
think ppl are getting massive song dmca flashbacks when it's more likely that habi recognised the photograph being copyrighted (think i heard the photo was commissioned by the band)
good ending tho cuz the mapper found a bg we can confirm is 100% available to use

Bare minimum respect should be offered, especially to indie/smaller creators.
Not a surprise that some of the guys unhappy with the mod are also unwilling to even credit in their own map descriptions...

That said, the art WAS stolen (p sure without credit too) so what they DMed the artist is justifiable, albeit inflammatory :3
