But within hours of its release players noted that long-standing bugs were still present alongside new ones and, worse still, upscaled in-game assets showed clear evidence of AI retouching.

The backlash has led the publisher and the original developer to delist the game from sale and even promise to “reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues”.

I just saw a video by LegendOfTotalWar showing that the only positive review of the game came from one of Sega's own VPs. Which is against the Steam ToS

This is a colossal fuckup. I'm curious if we will ever know if this was a case of rubber stamping gone too far or a deliberate decision by the c suite to cash grab and not care.

Rome Total War 2 is still up for sale with a game breaking bug that happens when you load your first campaign battle.

We're unlikely to hear about the latter, and some patsy from the former'll take the fall, and then it's right back to business as usual —if history's any proof.

AI upscale slop is this generation's Comic Sans.
