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

They failed to vet their contractors properly, which is kinda unfortunate, and take responsibility for that, which is decent, but to have the plug pulled over the backlash for what turns out to be a correctable mistake does feel a little unfair.
