I don't know about you, but if I had crafted a piece of art and then someone used it for their product's packaging and stamped their name on it and gave it off, free or commercial, I might be at least slightly pissed off, even if it was Red Cross giving out life-saving vaccines, that they wouldn't ask me.

Do you have a permission to use that?
Not being a dick here, very kind of you to share these banks for free, but the dev/publisher/author might not think so highly of you using their game's cover art.
Plus it's a non-commercial bank. I ain't making any money out of it. No advertising, no private submissions.
Just sharing it with everybody. Take it as I am sharing a wallpaper from Firewatch game
I can change the cover if it's not allowed.
Not to say, that I wouldn't give you, or Red Cross a permission, if you asked, for free even, depending on the piece of art in question. But it's common courtesy to ask first, or then, use creative commons-licensed stuff.
Many small-time artists tend to be very kind and let you use their stuff if you ask them, especially for free stuff. But they don't take so kind on you if they find out later that you used their stuff without permission.
Just something to consider for everyone, whether you're a big commercial developer, or just someone who had the kind thought of giving away a free gift to the community. Or Red Cross.
(Disclaimer: I don't hate Red Cross and I don't make any claims that they had ever used someone's stuff without permission in their presentation, I just took an example)
