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

    Still don’t understand the shutdown? Remove the marketing material and move on if it’s such a problem?

      Their publisher pulled the plug on the game they were making due to the accusations, so they probably can’t afford to stay open.
