[Path to Nowhere] Skin Promo Art Hits Copyright Snag, Players Play 'Audit' to Help Devs

Recently, *Path to Nowhere* released a promotional image for a new skin. Sharp-eyed players quickly noticed that a face icon next to the character's name was identical to the logo of another game, *Neon Abyss*. The striking resemblance led many to assume a surprise collaboration was in the works.

As the discussion gained traction, players began sharing side-by-side comparisons, calling out the blatant asset usage.

Facing mounting pressure, the developers acted quickly by deleting the original promotional post and re-uploading a version with the infringing elements removed.

In an official statement on Weibo, the developers apologized for the oversight in their production process, thanked the players (referred to as 'Chiefs') for the feedback, and promised to implement stricter checks on future visual assets. In the comments, players poked fun at the situation, sarcastically calling it 'classic internet asset scraping.' Some even pointed out that this wasn't the first time the studio had been accused of borrowing external pop-culture references, citing previous allegations regarding *Disco Elysium*. It seems the team still has a lot to learn about asset compliance.
