From what the guy said, he gave that arts to Nibris as a example of what he could do, to explain what he saw could make for a good atmosphere for a NDS game.
They weren't supposed to release that art (Nibris or Cubed3) but the guy doesn't seem to be taking it bad.
"
Overall, nothing bad happened, I'll try to straighten out some people."
It could all be explained with a big misunderstanding, example : Some guy at Nibris look back to various artworks for the game some time later, see those pictures, think that those are actually pictures of the game and not just a example of the portfolio of the guy who makes the artwork. He's asked to show artworks of the NDS game, think those pictures are actual artwork of the game, show them. Big **** happen because of a mistake.
Or if Nibris just though that those pictures came with the rest after hiring the guy and thought they could use those pictures.
On top of that, they said they fired the guy who was responsible of the whole fiasco. So even if it was done on purpose by someone, that person is not part of the studio anymore.
That doesn't look good for Nibris, but who cares, mistakes happen and if it was done on purpose by someone trying to steal the arts, that person is gone now.
If Nibris doesn't intend to release a game (or a good one), we'll know about it eventually anyway. But right now it just look like something bad/misunderstanding happened and has been long gone.
(and I managed to see the thread, which was basically 30% people shouting fake before knowing anything, 30% people making pictures to laugh at the situation without taking into account anything, 30% people just repeating various meme, and a small 10% actually trying to know what was happening and see the end of that story)
They hired the guy (artist), a weird situation happened over the arts he sent them as "demo" of his skills/vision-only. Nibris fired the guy who was at the root of all this.
No need to make such a big deal out of this.
Just wait and see, if Nibris falls apart we'll know soon enough.
