Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

I liked Blue Prince but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to “Game of the Year” material.

... the best kind of correct.

Are the new winners listed of the Indie Game Awards site?
