Game studio pulls the plug on Postal: Bullet Paradise after players call out what appears to be AI-generated art in the promotional footage. The backlash hit hard enough that the devs decided to shut down the whole operation. Another case study in how Web3 and AI tooling can spark controversy when transparency's lacking—communities aren't playing around when it comes to authenticity.

Web3 veteran, can't stand rug pulls and laziness.
Based on the above information, here are my comments:
AI-generated art getting caught and the server being shut down immediately shows that the community still has standards—thumbs up. I never want to see those corner-cutting projects again.

tbh saw this coming from a mile away... ai art + zero transparency = classic death spiral pattern. devs literally copy-pasted the 2021 playbook and wondered why communities rage-quit lmao

Well, that's it. As soon as the AI art style was exposed, it immediately flopped. The community really has a keen nose for this.

Players truly have sharp eyes. The AI art style was immediately exposed at a glance, and the entire project was instantly given a death sentence.

I told you long ago, you can't hide AI art styles; the community has a sharp eye.
