Over placeholders? Jesus.
I at least understand it if they were actual final assets. Is the worry that they weren't really placeholders?
Next up, if you used photoshop you're out because it has AI features that you might have used.
To be clear, the game released with the AI “placeholders” in the game, and only replaced them later.
Kind of defeats the purpose of a placeholder...
The worry is they didn't want to be yet another award for E33 and this generates controversy, and therefore views.
How many people are talking about IGA who otherwise would not.
I am for starters. You too probably.
