Oh dear. Goonswarm Games are shutting down after Running With Scissors cancelled POSTAL: Bullet Paradise due to the use of generative AI. It's a bit of a saga this one.

I covered the initial announcement, along with a follow-up update in there where Running With Scissors attempted to defend the developer. The backlash only continued, and eventually RWS cancelled it as per the statement GamingOnLinux was sent on December 5th via Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors

Yeah, I never noticed any particular negative reaction when someone walked into the Holodeck on Star Trek and said "Computer, create a mystery in the style of Sherlock Holmes" or whatever. Ask most people and they'd probably count that as one of the fictional technologies they were most looking forward to.
