Drunken Goddess Reflux dev cancels public demo over AI copycat fears

Alliance Arts has cancelled the public demo of Drunken Goddess Reflux that was due on 19th October, replacing it with limited-access online play sessions. The studio said it cannot properly manage restrictions on posting and streaming demo footage, and fears the demo could be used to imitate or replicate the game with AI or other tools before launch.
