Recreate Games has cancelled its AI video competition for the multiplayer game Party Animals after facing widespread criticism from players. The studio issued a public apology and ended the contest immediately. The move follows negative feedback received in recent days.
Recreate Games announced the cancellation on X yesterday. The studio explained that its initial goal was to promote creative expression and make participation easier for fans of Party Animals. However, the developers acknowledged tying this goal to AI use was a mistake that overlooked potential harm amid ongoing debates about the technology.
