From what I can tell, it's $60 a pop for an enhanced license; $10 if you don't need as many runs, and that's before you get into bulk licensing that makes both options even cheaper. So instead of paying $48k to lawyered-up copyright owners as the Kickstarter comment section suggests, they could have licensed 800 enhanced or 4,800 standard images.

Thank you for your post. I put up another one over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit/comments/4c6spp/boardgame_maker_gets_caught_stealing_art_doubles/

Those dudes love catching art thieves. Hopefully it gains some traction.

Probably gonna get shouted at but I feel bad for David Ladyman, he seems like a legit guy who's been screwed over by a few lovely people.
Same.

He's truly old school -- I'd imagine the Steve Jackson games / Origin tenures (among others) made him a witness to some really interesting history. He's modest, mild-mannered, and apparently well-regarded by peers. I personally hope he succeeds with this, in spite of the IP ripoff stuff Archer did. Particularly if Austin is paring further down and Ladyman is losing a lifeline (a theory not proven). It's hard to be an older guy in the Gaming Industry-- unless your resume is scary awesome or you had some huge former success (like Chris and Garriott). Ladyman appears to have been dependable for decades and helped literally millions of people better understand the ins and outs of a metric crapton of computer games with his game guides and manuals.

And as much as it surprises me to say this, it seems like Chris & Ben were really trying to do right by the old gent by using ample marketing resources to plug his project.

All of this isn't meant to excuse the IP appropriation. I wish for Ladyman's sake it hadn't happened. It's really too bad Chris Roberts didn't hook Ladyman up with a real concept artist for this because all of this crap could've been avoided and the finished product wouldn't end up with some absurd cardboard bobble-head Sandi smirking insufferably in the middle of it.
