We have reached a new threshold in genAI gloom, with a game dev cancelling a demo for fear of copycats ripping them off before release

In what I suspect is the start of a trend, assuming it isn't one already, the creators of Drunken Goddess Reflux have yanked a planned public demo partly because they're concerned about people using generative AI to clone their game and release a copy before they even launch.

What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

This comes from Rock Paper Shotgun, which does its own reporting — for now, it's the only coverage.

Bottom line: Safe to take the main point — it's the fine detail that sometimes shifts later.
