This really comes off as a knee-jerk reaction by RWS. I get they’ve been burned in the past by shit like Postal 3, and Postal is about all they have, but this should have been handled much better.
Delay things, verify there is no generative AI used, at worst replace assets that are deemed questionable.
“So, y’know those mousepads with the wrist support?”
“Okay…”
“Just vertical. Fitting to a billboard.”
“Yeah, I get that, but… Why?”
“Stop asking, just do it, and if I suddenly die from falling, don’t ask what happened. Just make sure there’s enough space between them to fit the average salaryman, and let me live my dreams.”
Even in that case, they were quick to cut ties and not mention it to the public in the announcement, which doesn’t make them look any better.
I say this as a long time Postal fan girl, I can ever get a slight kick out of 3 as terrible as it is. Either way, RWS doesn’t look good right now. They were either aware of generative AI being used and refused to declare it, or they decided a bit of public backlash was worth tanking a studio over without verification.
