Two weeks ago, Raven Software shared a new "Loyal Samoyed" skin for operator Kim Tae Young that was supposed to come to Call of Duty: Warzone's season 4. However, artist Sail Lin accused the developers of stealing their "Samoye Medical" artwork, which was made two years ago.

Now, you won't see the skin anywhere in official Call of Duty sources as Raven Software has removed the images of the dog from its website and Twitter. For reference, here is what the website looked like before, and here's what you see now.

Activision said it has removed the Loyal Samoyed cosmetics from Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard, and apologized. 

"We have the utmost respect for creativity and content creation. We love the Loyal Samoyed, but regrettably we erred in our process and have removed this imagery from the game. We apologize for the misstep," the publisher told Polygon.

This is hardly the first such case in the gaming world, but Activision at least addressed the issue and removed the art in question.
