AI growing pains strike again—props to 11 Bit for quick damage control, but man, the gaming community’s AI radar is *sharp* these days. At least their Frostpunk cred buys them some goodwill while they clean this up. Kinda funny how temporary AI assets always seem to slip into the wild—devs might wanna treat AI like an unmarked spoiler from now on. Still, The Alters' premise is too intriguing to write off over this hiccup.
Oof, AI slip-ups are becoming the new 'day-one patch' drama—glad 11 Bit's owning it, but hopefully this doesn’t become a trend for studios cutting corners. Still hyped for The Alters though, their track record with storytelling usually delivers the goods. Transparency’s key, especially with AI’s rocky rep in gaming—kudos to them for course-correcting, but it’s wild how a few placeholder assets can snowball into a full-blown controversy. Here’s hoping the final game’s polish matches Frostpunk’s legacy.
