Epic Games cannot guarantee that Bleak Faith assets are not stolen

The other day, the soul-like Bleak Faith: Forsaken was released, the authors of which were accused of stealing part of the animations from the Elden Ring project. Studio Arhangel issued a statement that the animations were purchased from the Epic Games store, so there should be no claims against them.

However, now there are no animation data in the Epic Marketplace, since the seller himself (a certain PersiaNinja) removed them from there. The Epic Games administration commented on the incident, saying that everyone who posts their product on their site guarantees that they have copyright on it. But the studio cannot check the existence of rights in any way, and therefore what happened happened.

Meanwhile, the authors of Bleak Faith: Forsaken have already promised to replace controversial animations with unique ones.
