AI Copycat Fears Push Dev to Cancel Public Steam Demo for Drunken Goddess Reflux
Alliance Arts, the studio behind the upcoming Russian roulette anime horror drinking game Drunken Goddess Reflux, has pulled the plug on its planned public Steam demo, citing fears that AI "vibe coders" would use the opportunity to clone the game almost instantly. The developer announced the cancellation with little warning, offering an apology to fans who had been looking forward to the public playtest. Rather than scrapping demo access entirely, Alliance Arts says it will pivot to hosting closed sessions instead, limiting who gets hands-on time with the game before launch.
