A developer canceled a planned public demo over worries that AI could copy the game and release a clone first. Drunken Goddess Reflux was set for a public demo on October 19. Alliance Arts will instead run a closed playtest with restrictions on sharing and streaming. The studio says the issue goes beyond piracy. They fear players could study the demo’s gameplay and presentation, then use AI to clone it “We are concerned that… works imitating or replicating this game’s presentation and gameplay could be quickly produced using AI or other tools and released ahead of the game’s launch.”
