Screenshot of a reddit post, which has been posted on some forums as well. Almost full text below (exempted some because of text limit). Hey everyone, My name is Max H, and I've been working at Warhorse Studios since July 2022 as a Czech>English translator and editor. I primarily worked on KCD2 and its DLCs, including dialogues, quest logs, item names, and various other things, as well as some occasional marketing materials here and there. Simply put, if you've ever played KCD2 in English, you've quite likely seen my work. Yesterday, March 27th 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to "make the company more effective" and "save finances", as of next month, my position at the company would become "obsolete" in favour of using AI for all translations going forward. This came as a huge shock to me, as though the discussion about using AI for translating had frequently come up in the past, something I was always strongly and vocally against, but never to the extent that it might actually cost me my job in the future. It had, of course, crossed my mind many times, but I naively thought my work at WHS was valued enough that I might not be at immediate risk. I feel incredibly betrayed by the management of the company I've come to care about greatly these past almost 4 years, and am heartbroken I won't get to see my friends and colleagues at the office every day. I want you to know that the growing use of AI greatly affects people in the games industry and many others, and I thought you should know how much the company that makes the games you love value the work of their employees, not to mention the environment. To any of my now-former colleagues reading this, I wish you all the best, and strongly hope none of you finds yourselves in the same position as me. To anyone else reading, thanks for making it this far, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer them if I can.
