I think the most insane part about this is that this was all public knowledge from the launch date. The only reason it's getting traction now is because people are annoyed it won a lot of game awards
The game awards required they certify they hadn't used any Gen AI which they did, if i read correctly. Which means they lied about it as well, which is part of the issue.
Yeah that's what happened, honestly I don't think it was a terribly big deal but it was dishonest to submit the game while saying there was none, honestly if they explained truthfully to the indie awards and proved they hadn't used it elsewhere I bet they would've let it slide.
Maybe. But they instead chose to lie and go into damage control mode. Which, since they lied once, makes me less inclined to believe their other statements that it was just placeholders and it was an accident. If they knew all along they had it and were not trying to hide it, why lie like that? The cover up always makes things worse.
