Yet another instance of "Dreamwidth can't handle the full headline because their subject field length restrictions are annoyingly asinine": "Daedalic's bizarre Gollum apology was apparently written by ChatGPT and the studio didn't even get approval on it"
The vast majority of this article is just talking about the failed Gollum game in general, which makes that headline seem kind of like clickbait anyway, since they only talk about the weird ChatGPT-written apology in a couple of small paragraphs in the middle of it, but the article as a whole is pretty interesting and just yet another example of the modern video game industry maybe starting to finally (hopefully) choke on its own shit after all this time. It's also yet another example in a endless stream of examples over the past few decades of a smaller company being bought by a bigger company and then immediately almost entirely dying as a result (though, apparently, Daedalic was kind of shit even before selling out).
