GoKawiilSega pulls Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition after AI-art backlash
Sega's October 13 remaster of Shogun 2, developed with Mataboo, drew overwhelmingly negative Steam reviews over apparently AI-upscaled 2D art, unresolved and new bugs, and a mod system switch that broke 15 years of unofficial patches. Sega had also delisted the original game, leaving Complete Edition as the only purchase option for new buyers. About 48 hours after launch, Sega apologized, pulled the remaster, and restored the original version for sale.
