The issue is moreso that it’s “he said, she said” bullshit currently.

The devs said they didn’t use AI for anything. RWS has supplied no proof that the devs were. They just cut ties as soon as the backlash reached them, and the studio pretty immediately closed their doors.

There’s a lot of speculation currently, but no outright proof. Hell, as far as I’ve seen, RWS haven’t responded to anyone asking for more information on this.

It’s coming off like a snap decision based on community reaction instead of taking any steps to verify, and the lack of direct response isn’t helping.

I’m far from pro-AI, but this is not a good look for RWS as a publisher. This should be taken into account by any other company looking to work under them, just in case, because right now it looks more like “Well, they said, so we did, and you could be next if they say again”.
