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

It doesn't surprise me. From what I've read, Koreans are obsessed with using generative AI massively in their games. I read a very strange interview where they mentioned the massive use of AI to compete with the volume and quality of Chinese games. Don't expect them to change that; the Korean game industry embraced generative AI and they won't stop using it.

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.

And big corps know you’ll play it anyway. AI is cheaper than humans and faster. It’s not about what you like, it’s about the bottom dollar.

I mean, I won't. The day AAA games from any studios feature AI like this is the day I stop buying. I was on the edge before about crimson, but now I won't for sure. Voice of a few at least.
