It says a lot about Penta's integrity that he posted the apology, and didn't remove the apology. That AI apology is just a huge middle finger to everyone.

I am guessing you won't see any response to this, as everyone has been fired.

P.S.: You used ChatGPT to write your apology, really!?. 🤦‍♂️

I don't know if it's sarcasm or you noticed something that assured ChatGPT wrote the apology, so I asked ChatGPT to write one and I got this:

It does look similar, but the worst thing is... it's actually better.

I just released a game about Gollum from the Lord of t he Rings, but it has a lot of issues and that generated backlash. Can you write an apology letter for the people who bought the game?

The game is called "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum". Do not address the letter, and do not mention the letter (Like in stuff like "we write this letter", do not say that stuff)

The actual apology, for direct comparison:
