Activision Pulls Cute But Stolen Call Of Duty Skin, Apologizes For ‘Misstep’ - Kotaku

Named “Loyal Samoyed,” the skin is now gone and all references in-game and on the company’s site have dematerialized.

A couple of weeks ago, Activision announced some new skins in a patch update for Call Of Duty: Warzone’s fourth season, “Mercenaries of Fortune.” But a skin for operator Kim Tae Young featuring a very adorable hound and packaged in the “Floof Fury” (how did they not name it furry?) skin bundle looked a bit too familiar to artist Sail Lin.

The similarities between CoD’s “Loyal Samoyed” skin and Lin’s original “SAMOYE MEDICAL” artwork, as highlighted in the artist’s callout post on ArtStation, are too similar to deny: virtually identical profile, the same backpack, scarf hip pouch, and elbow pad.
