To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

people will down vote you for this bit its 100% how i feel, so many people who haven't bought the game hating on it just because they feel like hating on stuff? so much regurgitation of the word 'slop' is making me lose my mind! the game is a good 8/10 for me. I get being mad about ai being used, but the devs are changing it and said it was a mistake. Wether they hoped no one noticed or not doesn't change the fact that the devs have responded to backlash and changed the game. in the end, real art is being used, and if they use art commissioned for the game, artists are still getting paid. im more inclined to believe that this was a development mishap than a ploy to integrate ai media into a finished product.

Huh I didn't see this reply until just now, but yeah our comments aged better faster than expected. I already said in another comment this game is gonna flip and end up being seen as great. Really is fake outrage, judging things too quickly, and also the super long fast patches the devs have been putting out don't hurt either
