Given the Lemmy view on AI, I wonder how many folks are now uninstalling the game and demanding a refund because it's suddenly transformed into "AI slop"? Or demanding it be delisted from Steam since they didn't disclose their use of AI on Steam?
I'm not going to uninstall or demand a refund, but I fully support the Indie Game Awards decision on this and will not refer to CO:E33 as a winner of any of the Indie Game Awards. I will still call it IMO the best JRPG in many years, but I thought that before it started receiving awards.
I hope this event serves to scare game studios of all sizes from the mere appearance of using AI at ANY scale or part of the process. Hell, I hope it causes the whole damn bubble to burst, but it's just not that important.
Why do you care so much about some stupid "awards show"? Fuck that.
