PC Gaming

Even if that did happen, it wouldn't defeat the point of the disclosures at all. In fact, people will appreciate it all the more if a game is made without any AI involvement and it will become a selling point.

I'm glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.

Tim Fashy again demonstrates why Steam is as successful as it is without a monopoly.

Also, another reason to never, ever do anything to do with epic, proven by the Chief Enslavement Officer itself.

PC gamers (sample size: at least 1) say they struggle to think of anything valuable that Tim Sweeney has ever said.

Information good. Hiding information bad. Nefarious intentions.

We're seeing the rise of push back against AI gen stuff... https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/827650/indie-developers-gen-ai-nexon-arc-raiders

Doubling down on the glazing of the ai bubble is pretty on brand for him. In before "tim sues steam for spurious claims against ai" or some other bullshit.

Sidenote: IsThereAnyDeal.com has the steam ai declarations as part of the quick reference section on game pages now. https://mastodon.social/@isthereanydeal/115606686918493913

If it's available in "nearly all" development then you can switch the tag to say "no AI" and then I can continue discovering and buying games that don't have that BS.

But we all know, as does Sweeney, that that's a lie. And also that I wouldn't shop for games on Epic Store anyway, for reasons just like this.

If most games will contain AI content, then an "AI-free" badge couldn't be more important. He must understand that that statement is a complete logical fallacy, right?

Tim continues to not 'read the room'

Then put the disclaimer in all games? So what, not like they're limited quantity

And CEOs will be the easiest position to replace with AI. Can't wait for the share holders to figure that out.

Yes, like we don't have Handmade tags in products...

I dont know about the future, but a "No AI-Art" tag, makes sense to me.

And wonder why Steam is succeeded but Epic is an AI slop wasteland

They make sense because we don't want your AI shit Sweeney

"Crypto/NFT disclosures make no sense, because all games will become "Play to Earn" and have NFT objects where you can transfer your Mario hat to COD 2028."

I am being glib, Sweeney probably has a point, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a critical look at his intentions.

Then some clueless person complains that Steam dominates the market. When Epic is constantly shooting their foot.

People like to make informed decisions and those labels help. In proper countries even beer have content labels to say if there is rice or corn with the barley.

Never buy another Epic game again, understood!

Sugars and additives are in nearly all foods, maybe we should stop asking manufacturers to disclose it on the ingredients list.

And people wonder why Epic games has the smallest market share of all the game stores

Using AI for checking a code, and then double checking it yourself is different than some waste of sperm dictating prompts to AI, and telling his friends at parties while high on ketamine adderol and coke "this is going to be the next Morrowind x Cyberpunk x Mario Brother Kart Theft Auto" is the AI badge Valve is talking about.

Tim: Valve doesn't understand the market. AI is going to lead gaming industry.

Also Tim: VALVE IS A MONOPOLY AND SHOULD SEIZE TO EXIST.

These guys live in a bubble, huffing each others’ farts

It being ubiquitous does not mean it makes no sense. They can still say how and to what extent gen AI was used.

yea that's just playing on semantics. Of course machine learning will keep assisting many different workflows, thank you Tim.
Go ahead with your ML-assisted procedural animations, your ML-enhanced denoising, your ML-powered stochastic mesh pruning.

What people don't want is generated visuals/music that try and pass off as art. I'd love to summon debility to explain that the ruling class doesn't get it, but they do -it's a convenient way for them to save on human labor that is also... just too tempting to use for replacing art as well.

Tim can suck my sweaty balls.

nahh men. This is why you (Epic) are giving away games every week for free. Nobody likes you

I guess I won't be buying nearly all games.

Epic CEO [Tim Sweeney] is an idiot

Tim Sweeny doesn't understand the very people he wants to have give him money. Like, at all.

Super effective slop filter you say? Sign me the fuck up!

More info = good.

No, it fucking won't, Tim Sweeney. Go jump off the OG Fortnite BR map so I can default dance on you while you get sent back to the lobby.
