In brief<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Postal series fans said the Bullet Paradise trailer showed AI-generated artwork, prompting a swift cancelation.<\/li>\n
  • Discord insults and a mocking post on X deepened backlash around the externally developed spinoff.<\/li>\n
  • Running With Scissors said it’s shifting focus to other 2026 projects after reviewing the incident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Running With Scissors, publisher of the controversial shooter game franchise Postal, said this week that it had canceled a newly revealed series entry one day after announcing it, responding to backlash after fans said the reveal trailer<\/a> appeared to use AI-generated artwork.<\/p>\n

    The game, Portal: Bullet Paradise, was a fast-paced first-person shooter spinoff developed externally by Goonswarm Games. The backlash occurred just days after Running With Scissors railed against generative AI usage in gaming, taking a stand against AI in creative work.<\/p>\n

    The publisher said it ended the project because its trust in the development team had broken down, adding that it aimed to remain transparent with its community and still had several upcoming projects in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe’ve been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned Postal community,\u201d the company wrote<\/a> on X. \u201cThe strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated, and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

    We’d like of course to apologize to anyone who felt insulted in the heat of the moment and we thank you for raising concerns at the time. As for those who specifically sent us death threats, the apology does not apply.<\/p>\n

    The backlash against Postal: Bullet Paradise intensified after fans dissected the December 3 trailer and flagged details they argued were produced by AI tools. Late last month, Running With Scissors said on X that customers should know if a game was created using AI.<\/p>\n

    \u201cCustomers deserve to know if a game was crafted with creativity, soul and actual talent rather than some machine that craps out anything from a prompt,\u201d they wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Frustration from gamers escalated when company representatives defended the trailer on X and in Discord while insulting critics. Screenshots show company reps using expletives and slurs when responding to allegations.<\/p>\n

    As the images spread, Running With Scissors issued a separate X message addressing the conduct.<\/p>\n
