Sonic artist accuses SEGA of stealing his Amy model in Sonic Origins Plus

They look the same because he took Amy's Sonic CD design and pasted it over a modern Sonic body. Then whoever is helming this product did the same thing and wow they look similar except the professional one has better colors while lacking the bumpy hair band and Sonic smirking mouth.
It's the same exact model. He overlaps both. The only change is one of the hair bangs.
Would have to see contracts but he was probably paid and credited for the work when he originally did it. Should he get a credit (that nobody but staff cares about or reads) if the model is used again in the future for other games? I guess? It's not like they hacked a fans PC and stole a model and didn't give him credit.
I would advise him to take legal action but what is he going to get out of it

Seems more complex than "he was probably paid and credited" because... he wasn't credited. That model was not made for that game, they just reused a previous asset they contracted him to create and did not credit him on the game. It's like... Pretty easy to see whats happening.
He was probably paid for his work which I would think is more important than a credit nobody cares about but him and his mom. If Sega own the model do they have to pay him for every time it's used? Lets see the contracts.

Nobody cares about a credit? Have you ever done any art to say something that wrong? Credits are huge in any creative market sector.
Correct most people skip credits when given the chance, do you sit in a theatre and read credits after a movie? They matter to the people credited and basically nobody else cares
