Gen-AI use is fine if it’s used within good taste and for generating bulk background props and somesuch. It doesn’t make a gamedev any holier or respectable if they torture themselves by hand drawing 1000 unique titles and textures for bookspines for some NPCs bookshelf.

Why would I pay them for something they didn’t do?

I pay for games I enjoy playing personally but you do you.

Do you work for Anthropic or something? Lmao
I’m sure I would enjoy playing GTA6, I really want to play it, but I’ll be abstaining because of Rockstar’s union busting bullshit, the exorbitant price, and the fact that you don’t even get a real physical game for the insane amount they’re asking.
As far as I know they didn’t use any AI, but that’s not the point.
The point is that some things are more important than a game, regardless of how enjoyable it might be. Things like class solidarity, artistic integrity, and other elements of real life.
