Here's the post from Macsterr alleging the theft. Reddit user 'Macsterr' says the artwork is visually similar to a design that they had created and posted to Reddit in November - and Reddit's active community of video game fans seems to agree. On Tuesday, Microsoft's official Xbox Twitter account posted a piece of art to promote the game. Some Redditors are up in arms on Wednesday after a Reddit user claimed that Microsoft stole the overall design of a piece of their artwork to promote 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds,' the hottest video game of 2017.

As the situation has gained traction on Reddit, Macsterr says that they're mostly looking to get credit for the overall design.

The tweet has since been deleted and Microsoft says it's 'investigating' the matter.

On Tuesday, Microsoft's Xbox social media account posted a similar image to Twitter, without crediting Macsterr.

In November, Macsterr posted a distinctive design for an ad for 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds,' the most popular video game of 2017.

Reddit user Macsterr claims that Microsoft stole a design of theirs for a video game ad without crediting their artwork as the inspiration.
