The studio behind the Postal franchise just announced that it will be publishing a brand new Postal game, to be developed by Goonswarm Games. Unfortunately, it even more recently announced it would be cancelling said game, due to accusations that Goonswarm had used generative AI in its development.
The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.
These are not the words of a company who didnt know about the ai use. They hired them because they were gonna use ai so it would be cheap to produce, fans were rightfully upset to be fed slop, publisher backpedals so hard they close the studio.
You think if they didnt use ai here they’d do all that? Or would they instead say “we are sorry the quality doesn’t appeal and we will work on it” not this

Vapid anti-AI hate can cause quite a lot of damage. And what for? To feel like you’re superior to everyone that you can spot all the AI errors?
Sure, shame a company for AI use if it’s obviously bad or you have actual proof. But just guessing because you think it’s AI is pretty shitty.
