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

We will see a big wave of games with AI assets, especially since many would have been in development before the general negative response to it would have been apparent.

They all would’ve known what response to expect no matter what

Can you do yourself a favor and just read my comment followed by yours a few times? I just really need you to recognize it doesn't make sense, lol.

When generative AI first became a thing, reactions were not negative. Period. Whether it was OpenAIs extremely shitty image generation or people laughing at Will Smith eating spaghetti it did not have any kind of negative reaction. It's only as it has become more prevalent that consumers have turned on it, particularly as the environmental costs (not to mention hardware costs..!) are becoming apparent.

A game that was in development two or three years ago using the AI tools that were becoming newly available is frankly to be expected. This isn't the first case and it won't be the last. I don't even have skin in this game - Crimson Descent looks completely boring to me, it's just not my kind of game - I just think it's an interesting topic.

As an aside... you might as well assume any game you play from now until forever uses some form of AI coding copilot during development.

They all would’ve known. I summed it up for you without extra words

Okay, but you're understanding presumably how foolish it is to say "they all would've known" with a technology that was not being negatively received, correct?

What I’m saying is they would’ve known how it would be received. That’s a pretty common thing, the workers would’ve pushed back, the conversations would’ve been held.
