This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

This is fucking stupid. There's no AI assets in the final game, and it was used for placeholders during development.

I dislike AI for a lot of reasons, but this is massively overblown. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no putting it back. This is right up there with artists airbrushing, photoshop, and so on. People are going to use the tools available if it leads to quicker development cycles to get a product out.

This is fucking stupid.

It's stupid because the game has already received a stack of awards a mile high. Nobody seriously cares about this. Nobody's sales will be hurt in any meaningful capacity. It's a dumb awards show, not the FCC.

I think this "placeholder art" is a silly line to draw. But the high profile of the game makes it a ripe target to make a statement.

If you really don't want to reward people for "quicker development" over the human touch, might as well pick a game everyone already bought and highlight folks who did their dev work organically
