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
I had a feeling about this game, and it seems that came true.
The enemies all being feminists felt… “off”, especially when Postal isn’t a right wing series, it’s more about poking fun at society in general… So it just seemed odd that ALL of the enemies in Bullet Paradise were Feminist Stereotypes.
