From the Saber Interactive CEO:
“Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.
“Let me clarify that the entire story script, were it to win an award, would go to someone who can walk up on stage and receive it. It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.
“We look at our use of AI in this particular game, which will be a lower priced title, as a plus for consumers,” he said.
“As far as Stella is concerned, she was replaced by someone more talented and terminated for a variety of reasons a few months later. From what I can gather she enjoys controversy even more than I do. I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.”
If you’ve never spoken to her or seen her, then how do you know she was replaced by someone “more talented”
This dude is not only a psychopath, he’s a complete idiot. Does the CEO just get to release a statement no matter what? I feel like anyone else who proofread this could have told him this was going to make him hated.
Godfuckingdammit. They’re the ones making the Hellraiser game coming out in October and now I’m gonna have to miss out on principle.
This is fucking bullshit.
No… Dude what… I’m literally rewatching Hellraiser right now and re reading all the books to get ready for it.
I’m just gonna pirate it then. But that kills me because Jericho did so bad I was going to buy this on PC and it was going to be the last disc I ever bought for PS5.
Man… fuck.
Thanks for having principles
Tech bros are the dumbest mofos on the planet, but somehow they keep getting work and money while adding negative value to the world.
This deters me not only from buying this game, but also from buying anything from this company.
If only AI Datacenters could use the goodwill their shitty users burn as fuel.
Users can burn Goodwill as fuel? That’s handy. Maybe they’ll stop exploiting the disabled and the grieving. 🤷🏼♂️
Make us proud, fellow users! Show us the way, teach us about Man’s red flower!
It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.
I imagine they’d only have been ‘ready’ after most sales would have occurred.
Those quotes are psychotic
A lot of CEOs are psychopaths. They are just ideal for the job and therefore concentrated in such work.
Many CEOs are psychotic
This comment isn’t in jest. They’re literally psychopaths.
I was not jesting.
I think this guy is being literally serious and not comically hyperbolic.
jaaaysus, that’s a lot. 🤕🤢🤦🏼♂️
arguably all of them. Many CEOs are smart enough not to say the insane thoughts in their head out loud
Oh good, Saber interactive is already blocked on my steam recommendations
As far as Stella is concerned, she was replaced by someone more talented and terminated for a variety of reasons a few months later. From what I can gather she enjoys controversy even more than I do.
It was the “bitches be crazy” defense that really made me decide to boycott this company.
The fact that this splurt from his smooth brain states that he enjoys controversy, just like her, allegedly… just, oof.
His claim is more unsubstantiated noise at the same moment it’s a personal admission of being a proud & loudmouthed scrote tick.
In one sentence, he’s whined and pointed out someone else who “enjoys” being a tedious fuck —just like him. 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
What a stupid prick.
The lesson here is older than civilization itself: “When someone shows you who they are, pay attention.”

For anyone else who wants to do so:
Search for Saber Interactive, click gear icon, select “ignore from this publisher”.
I couldn’t figure out how to do it on mobile.
But I did find out that Saber is the company that published Space Marine 2, which is a little disappointing as I was wanting to play that.
Seems to be broken on steam in Android:
Works on the website though: https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/SaberInteractive
That’s a good idea. I don’t want to accidentally support this stupid.
Can someone make an importable blocklist?
Is this the same company behind Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, or am I mistaking it for something else with “Saber” in the name?
If so,
Saber Interactive is listed as one of the developers of Halo CE: they’re listed third after 343 Industries and Bungie, but honestly, you’re already supporting Microslop when you buy any Halo game.
Seems like a good place for a friendly PSA:
Remember, fellow members of the exploited class, “If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.” ✊🏼
Saber developed CE Anniversary’s renderer engine, which allowed you to switch graphics between old and new graphics.
I believe art was outsourced, but ultimately falls on 343 (changed their name to Halo Studios to trick customers into forgetting their horrendous reputation) because they had final approval.
What an unpleasant shell of a man
Rideshare “Stimulator” sounds like a softcore porn game
Hell, even “Rideshare Simulator” sounds like a cutesy title for a smorgasbord of nsfw* smut in a candy shell. On brand for hentai, et al? ☝🏼
*results may vary by country
I cannot unsee this…
They need to work on their public relations. Maybe hire someone and listen as this is the opposite of damage limitation. It went from looking sketchy and dishonest. To sketchy, dishonest, rude, with fragile egos and just generally not nice people.
Wouldn’t touch one of their products even if I wanted to.
What a sales pitch!
