Postal was a 90s edgelord game. It doesn't really fit in this era. Even if they managed to make it, I doubt it would have sold well.
No way. Postal 4 came out 3 or 4 years ago and was okay, and postal: brain damaged is great, it came out out in 2022. They can still work and be quite fun.
The protagonist gleefully kills MAGA fucks in P:BD
Its a wonderful boomershooter. Not exactly like the other games, but the same heart is there.
They were looking to have another Postal III on their hands anyways. Looking at the profile of the studio on Steam, they haven't really made any solid games. What made RWS think 'yeah we trust these guys' with that kind of portfolio?
I think because RWS were kind of similar. Before Postal they just made a few educational games like Sesame Street etc. They probably felt they were giving a studio that was in a similar position to them the same kind of chance they got.
Trust a random studio with some long-dead IP in the hopes of making a little cash? Not so crazy imho. Nothing to lose.
Last Postal game was released in 2022. "Long-dead"?
It's always drama with these guys (RWS). That's been their marketing strategy from day 1.
everything is AI generated these days, especially the artists whose art you don't like
AI is baked into every creator software now. All your favorite artists, musicians, writers all use AI more or less. Not using it brings you a disadvantage, whether you like it or not.
Thank you for so bravely speaking on behalf of all artists.
I heard many studios also use IDEs, which make programming more efficient, thus cutting jobs.
Despite popular belief, "cutting corners machine 3000" provides that "boost in efficiency" by cutting corners. And it cuts them wrong 51% of the time.
Using an IDE to write code is like using a pie tin to help you make a pie.
Using generative AI is like going to the local bakery, breaking their window, and stealing the pie.
And the pie is actually the mop, because gen AI hallucinated that it was a pie
Except the cake will be good. It‘s more like making the entire cake out of fondant.
