Digital Sun Games, the studio behind Moonlighter, delays plans for a public Steam playtest of its next game, ReVamp, citing concerns that generative AI could be used to clone their work before launch. The studio describes the move as reducing what it calls an unacceptable risk to original content.
Both outlets report that the decision affects the timing of a community-facing preview, with the developers stopping short of saying when or whether the playtest will proceed. Rock Paper Shotgun adds that Digital Sun and partner studio Cataclismo are publicly urging platforms to strengthen protections for creators and original work. Kotaku frames the issue more broadly as a threat to the viability of public playtests, linking the studio’s change in plans to worries about “Claude” style AI cloning.
Overall, the articles agree that the developers’ immediate response is to limit early public access while they reassess how best to share content without making it easier to copy. They also agree the underlying concern is the use of genAI tools to imitate or recreate game assets and experiences before release.
