Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'
vxx@lemmy.world 2 days agoI think the issue is, that they didn’t remove all the assets in the version they submitted for the award. Yes, the assets were later removed, but the version that was used for the awards still had those assets.
I agree with your argument as a whole, but it doesn’t really apply here. There wouldn’t have been an issue if they had indeed replaced the assets with real art.

They already had the replacement assets created upon release, but forgot to swap them out and it was missed in QA. That’s why, pretty much as soon as they discovered it, they got it all replaced just 5 days after release.
It’s pretty common for games to mistakenly release with minor assets still as placeholders instead of the official version. Who’s really going to look at the texture of a rock and be like “Wait just a minute! That’s not the official rock texture!”
