'Support Modders, Not AI' — Modder Deliberately Corrupts Their Own Hugely Popular Total War: Warhammer III Mod as Row Over AI Escalates
“I have deliberately corrupted the mod to prevent it from functioning with such unauthorized uploads”
What happened
The creator of one of the most popular fan-made add-ons for the game Total War: Warhammer III deliberately broke it so it would stop working with copies that other people had re-released using AI without permission. The creator, who has worked on it for nearly 10 years, also threatened to make it private.
