Running With Scissors Cancels 'Postal: Bullet Paradise' Days After Reveal Over AI Accusations

The publisher cites reputational harm from AI allegations as the reason for cutting ties with the outsourced developer.

Overview

  • Running With Scissors said fan feedback asserting likely AI-generated elements in the reveal broke its trust in Goonswarm Games.
  • Goonswarm Games denied any use of generative AI and shared layered PSDs and work-in-progress files to support its claim.
  • The publisher issued a follow-up apology for heated comments and said it received death threats during the backlash.
  • The game’s Steam listing is now unavailable, and there are no announced plans to revive the project.
  • Days before the dispute, Running With Scissors publicly criticized generative AI in games and argued players deserve disclosure.
