**Following these accusations, many others shared their experiences, leading Alex Kister to respond officially on Twitter.https://twitter.com/kisterkatalog/status/1772103428203827291 (deleted)
***On March 18th, 2024, alternate, along with the intruder and preacher, was removed from the game.
***By March 25th, 2024, all allegations were debunked.
