"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 favor 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."
"I naively thought my work at [Warhorse Studios] 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 four years."
Max Hejtmánek, the English editor and voice-over director at Warhorse Studios, was informed that his role would be obsolete as the company shifts to AI for translations. Hejtmánek shared this news on the r/kingdomcome subreddit, where moderators verified his identity. He had been working as a Czech to English translator since 2022 and was in the midst of projects when he was let go. He expressed shock and feelings of betrayal regarding the management's decision.
