An artist says Nerf’s Destiny 2 hand cannon is a ripoff of their work

Nerf's Destiny 2 "Ace of Spades" limited edition blaster looks very similar to an artist's piece of fan art.

They include features like an upside down spade on the handle, identical shaped cracks in a strip of paint on the bullet chamber and a paisley pattern etched on the gun just in front of the trigger. Bungie issued a statement on its official Destiny 2 X page that they are investigating the artist’s claims and “will share more on what next steps we are taking once we have gathered more information.” We’ve also reached out to Nerf’s parent company Hasbro for comment. The White House released a statement today outlining commitments that several AI companies are making to curb the creation and distribution of image-based sexual abuse.
