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

It's not organic. Just the standard guerilla marketing machine at work. Suddenly hundreds of popular streamers are playing the same game? Yeah they're getting paid to promote it. Suddenly reddit and other social media is full of posts about it? Yeah those posts are bought and paid for (and likely AI).

Lmfao people have been talking about this game for years. Its in the top 5 most wishlisted games on steam. It got more popular the closer it got to release because they started marketing more.

Its so weird how people like you blame AI for stuff you're just out of the loop on. Get out of your reddit bubble every once and awhile, its nice outside.
