We were hacked and needs your help

Sorry to use the title to trick you in

Sorry to use the title to trick you in, instead of talking about being hacked, we need your help from a different form of attack.

We have a dream: AI NPC games becoming mainstream — where every game has living NPCs and dynamic stories, and you’re part of a world that evolves based on what you do.

Over the last 2 years, I’ve talked to many major studios. I’ve been told again and again that “nobody wants this” or “players won’t pay for it.” I want to prove people wrong. And through those conversations, one thing became clear: this revolution won’t start with big studios — it’ll be indie devs leading the charge. That’s why we built Player2.

Our goal is simple: build an app that supports indie developers, offers quality services to premium users, while still letting free users enjoy the games too. Our team is small — just a few people, and this road is long, lonely and hard.

Still, I’m proud to say we’re the only API provider fully focused on NPC games:

• built for ease of use for players and developers

• training roleplay-specialised models

• Revenue share back to developers

• competitive pricing

• and providing the best free model for everyone (gpt-oss-120b)

If this sounds too good to be true, it’s because it’s honestly not possible without losing money. We’re selling APIs at basically server cost to stay competitive, and we’re paying developers + funding free models out of our own pocket. We’re doing it because we truly believe AI NPC games can work, and a whole new category of indie games can be built. And we hope that at much larger scale, we’ll eventually be able to make money.

But since day one — maybe because “Free AI Games” sounds unbelievable — we’ve been under constant attack. I’m not even talking about the hackers earlier this week. I mean unfounded rumours: player2 is a virus/malware, bitcoin mining, “everything is paywalled,” “you only get one hour free ever,” etc. A lot of this hate is coming from communities around much larger companies backed by hundreds of millions of dollars, not focused on AI NPC games.

What help are we asking for?

1) If you see an AI NPC mod/game you like and it supports choose your own AI APIs, ask the developer to integrate Player2 APIs — we have the best free model + paid models designed for NPC games.

2) Help us spread the truth.
If you see misinformation in reviews/comments/discussions, please speak up. You don’t need to make anything up — just tell the truth about the app and this community: we’re not a scam, not malware, not mining anything, there are unlimited free models more powerful than you can get anywhere else, and we’re genuinely trying to build the best free+paid experience for AI NPC games.

Because without the community pushing back on the rumours, we won’t be crushed by hackers — we’ll be crushed by misinformation. And we can’t let that win.

❤️ Thanks for being here, seriously.
