I hope more people see this and its more transparent out there this happens all the time big companies copy us and make money out of us and dont give credit or anything in return truly sad hope you the original creator gets proper credit and something in return… smh
Haha, the funniest thing about this is they could take the same concept (which is extremely unoriginal), mix it up a bit with different clothes and accessories, and probably get away with it.
reminds me of when a star wars comic stole images of someone’s custom board game pieces to use as ships in a comic, it was so blatant they didn’t even remove the pegs on the bottoms of the pieces that let them sit in the board
You really should have copied over the (actual) proof of the original art as well. And by the looks of the comments on the original post, it seems like Activision has already deleted it on their side.
Just an FYI – copyright vests upon creation. That means this is legally infringement and you could be entitled to substantial damages under federal copyright law. I recommend finding a lawyer barred in your jurisdiction. Source: I’m a copyright lawyer. This is NOT legal advice – this is advice to find legal advice.
They have apparently since the plagiarism allegation taken down the images referencing the skin on the site and also a Twitter post with images of it. So I’m guessing there’s a fire over there now

I hope this is getting a lot of visibility.
You’d think such a massive company could come up with an original idea once in a while…

Sounds like you need to file an injunction. Just advertising it on reddit won’t do shit.
Looks like someone at Activision handed your work to an artist and said “here’s the concept art.”
* Holy crap that’s a lot of upvotes for a simple obvious observation.
“Again” This happened beforehand?
Haha, the funniest thing about this is they could take the same concept (which is extremely unoriginal), mix it up a bit with different clothes and accessories, and probably get away with it.
Whoever ripped this off is one lazy bastard.
Someone is getting fired for stealing people’s work

Copied the homework and didn’t even bother to change any of the answers.

As someone who hasn’t played COD for many a year, WTF even is this?
Wait wtf is going on with COD that this is even a character?????
If it were the other way around, he’d have a dozen of Activision’s lawyers up his ass already
Back the fuck up. Why is there a humanoid dog in call of duty? Did I miss something?
Holy shit that’s blatantly copied lol
Call of duty is selling furry skins? Wtf….
Samoyed… skin?
What the fuck is going on in the COD world?
What did I miss between Modern warfare 3 and furries in CoD?
Why the fuck is there a dog skin in cod anyway :|. Hope OP at least gets a payout
Of all the things to plagiarize.
I remember this soldier from my WW2 History class. Real hero. The world would look a lot different if it wasn’t for this good boy.
They have apparently since the plagiarism allegation taken down the images referencing the skin on the site and also a Twitter post with images of it. So I’m guessing there’s a fire over there now

Like they didn’t even try to change it slightly. Just a full on copy. Wtf?
Why the FUCK does cod have dog skins now
They saw fortnite as the well made and cash cow game that it is and went “yeah I want some of that”
Ignoring the fact that a full, whole ass dog is a character, it’s extremely disappointing how Activision does this
