Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James and Grant mainly discuss the big story of the week: Bungie getting caught red-handed stealing more artwork from a smaller artist that was put in their upcoming game Marathon. It is not their first time doing this (or their second, or their third) having been caught stealing other artists work in previous games as well. That came out on top of a Forbes report stating that the environment inside the walls at Bungie is at an all-time low. Is this just another bump in the road for an already massive pothole filled highway for Marathon. Is the game doomed to fail before it even gets preorders out? The guys spend most of the episode on that story, but then switch over to something a little bit more positive with a brand new Helldivers update, putting players into more urban locations on Super Earth! Finally, James and Grant go head-to-head on a bet regarding a possible Red Dead Redemption 2 current gen upgrade possibly coming this year. Remember to like, follow, rate, and subscribe!
