Activision and Bethesda Shut Down AI-Built Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout Projects

Kotaku reported on October 3 that two Microsoft-owned publishers moved against AI-made fan projects in one week. Bethesda allegedly sent a cease and desist over Fallout: New York, a browser game with quests, dialogue trees, and a working Pip-Boy that its creator built with an AI model and pulled on October 1. Activision used copyright claims to take down footage and restrict code from an AI-assisted decompilation of the original Modern Warfare 2 PC source.
