Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 English translator says Warhorse studios replaced him with AI to cut costs: “I was told my role was now obsolete”

[Redaktion]

Czech-to-English translator and editor Max Hejtmanek says Warhorse Studios abruptly ended his four-year role on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, telling him his position would become "obsolete" as the company shifts all future translation work to AI to boost efficiency and cut costs. Hejtmanek, who says he handled much of the game's English text from dialogue to promotional material, urged fans not to harass staff or review-bomb the game, while Warhorse and its publisher have not publicly responded.

They will use AI to comment on the matter

[Big deal]

Yeah. Makes sense. Video game development isn't a welfare office. They're not obligated to hire humans or someone who wasted their time learning a now obsolete skill.
