As you can see in Tofu’s examples below, this is an incredibly clear-cut case of copying, despite the changes that Bungie or Hasbro’s artists made to the blaster. While one would assume Bungie owns the original underlying blaster design, Tofu was able to show that details from her fanart, down to the brush strokes, were copied. To order the $50 replica of Cayde’s Ace of Spades handcannon, players first have to unlock the Legend status in the game, which reportedly takes an incredible amount of grinding, something that Bungie has pledged to somewhat fix.
