[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56809, member: 1"] Activision has been accused of plagiarism for the second time this month after adding a skin to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone that looks similar to a character from an ex-Infinity Ward director's new game. As reported by [URL='https://metro.co.uk/2022/08/17/call-of-duty-accused-of-ripping-off-dr-disrespect-game-for-newest-skin-17198469/']Metro[/URL], Call of Duty's new Doomsayer skin has been likened to a character design from [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/dr-disrespects-new-fps-is-a-pvpve-extraction-shooter']Deadrop, the upcoming game from Dr Disrespect's (otherwise known as Guy Beahm) studio Midnight Society[/URL]. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/dr-disrespect-new-aaa-studio-halo-cod-vets-midnight-society']Robert Bowling, a co-founder alongside Beahm[/URL] and the former director of Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward, uses the character as his Twitter profile picture and [URL='https://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/1559425179150721025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1559425179150721025%7Ctwgr%5E4b532146f13b8a9532faba11aca097a39d0f38c4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetro.co.uk%2F2022%2F08%2F17%2Fcall-of-duty-accused-of-ripping-off-dr-disrespect-game-for-newest-skin-17198469%2F']posted about the new skin[/URL]: "At least name it after me." Activision hasn't released a statement regarding the plagiarism accusations as of yet, but its response to similar complaints earlier in August saw the company remove its new skin from the game completely. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-duty-warzone-plagiarism-dog-skin-loyal-samoyed']The Loyal Samoyed skin [/URL]—[URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-duty-warzone-plagiarism-dog-skin-loyal-samoyed'] an operator with a dog's head [/URL]—[URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-duty-warzone-plagiarism-dog-skin-loyal-samoyed'] was the cause of controversy[/URL].
