And all those artists have all been paid.
People use stock music all the time, and stock audio.
You have to understand (or ask them) why, or direct this mocking energy at them for sharing their work.
The fact they use stockarts to share their portfolio should not be used against them or against the project.
They are good artists, these arts are good too; and I only pick arts fitting the EXODE universe and pay the artists for it. And then, I work on adapting them when required.
Also, as explained above:
We have two blockchain artists, working on our other creative stuff.
ShinoXL works on some of our top arts (like the one of our Yakuza Officer)
Nachofigx (Ignacio) worked initially on fanart but improved so much and so quickly he now works for many of our top ship arts!
Most of our alpha collection however came from a third amazing, profusingly productive artist, Luca Oleastri, and we purchased his art from stocks. I have a long tradition of finding Luca's arts fitting for EXODE, and purchasing them.
Insulting artists who allow projects to work on budget, or projects to work creatively on their budget, is wrong.
