Response was solid, seems pretty genuine
You don't accidentally use something like that though. Someone did it intentionally. On top of that that image went through layers of approval without anyone noticing, or approving it anyway.
I would’ve approved that too. Doesn’t look like the Challenger explosion to me! Of course, I don’t know what the Challenger explosion looks like, but maybe I’m in the minority here 🤔
It was almost 40 years ago at this point, so I don't expect everyone to know it, but its also something that doesn't come up without context. Whoever put that reference piece together knew what it was from.
reference piano
XD damn autocorrect
Did you read the response? It's one of many generic aircraft explosions in a designer pack
Yeah, I don't believe it. Someone put that pack together and the challenger explosion doesn't come up unless you go looking for it
Did you think they deliberately went and took a screenshot of the Challenger disaster specifically to use in the game? It was part of an asset pack
Did you read the response they said it was in one of their art reference packs. So 1) whoever made it used it exactly rather than as a reference 2) someone put it in their initially.
Yeah... Do you think the people using these packs are the same people putting the packs together? Do you think they sifted through reference pack after reference pack looking for the one that had the challenger explosion? Or do you reckon maybe it's more likely it was an unlabeled picture that the devs didn't recognize at first?
