If you look at the Bungie art it couldn't possibly be an inspo gallery because they are just straight up used with (some) changes made to them.

That's why I'm thinking the folders were merged in error. Bungie makes a lot of stupid decisions, but I think "willfully stealing art and assuming nobody would ever find out as we heavily advertise our game to get as many eyes on the product as humanly possible" is too stupid, even for them.

This would require so many different people to fuck up it seems pretty unlikely, not to mention they would have to take those images, resize/edit them, put them into the game, and have not one person notice they deviate from the images that were agreed upon. You don't just 'upload someones folder'.
