Which skin are we talking about? The skin is called “Loyal Samoyed” and is a mega fluffy dog in human size – with a gun, of course. In the following video you can see the skin and the bundle:

There are many elements on the work that resemble each other and already here it became clear that this is a pretty brazen copy. The artwork was published by Sail Lin in late 2021.

For the Chinese artist particularly bitter: it was not the first incident of plagiarism of his work. Already in December 2021, images of his “Monster Army” series were used by dubious NFT dealers to earn money with the stolen work.

What does “faulty process” mean? The statement remains vague and can mean many things. For example, that someone in the Call of Duty skin team wanted to bring the cute dog to the team as an idea, then went on vacation and the rest of the team thought it was a finished idea – without checking the background.

However, this is pure speculation – anything from “oversight” to “intentional” is still possible according to the statement on Polygon.

We at MeinMMO have also asked Activision for a statement.

An unpleasant situation for both sides. How do you see the case? Leave a comment with your opinion on the topic.
