Hell, there are even a couple joke templates for this type of graphic, it's so widespread. It's gotten to the point of infamy where, when Redfall was floundering in its critical reception, some were making parody apologies in the exact same mode of the last examples. Just this year, we've seen apologies from the minds behind Jedi Survivor's PC port, Gollum, and Forspoken, all for not being all what they were cracked up to be, and all with the same graphic. Starting with Cyberpunk 2077 getting delayed in January 2020 (albeit for a delay rather than a bad launch), the format has spread like wildfire. All the same format (a li'l picture with an apology written on it to be passed around on social media) and almost all apologizing for the same thing: an underwhelming release. Sure, apologies in the gaming industry are nothing new-there was time when everyone was saying sorry for PR snafus, from THQ Nordic doing an 8Chan Q&A to a Division 2 marketing email joking about the government shutdown-but these are something different. I'm sure you've already noticed the flood of apologies coming out from publishers and studios recently.
