AI this, AI that - you can't go anywhere without something trying to force AI on you. Usually a company trying to get you to buy into what they've wasted billions on. So indie devs have begun fighting back with their No Gen AI Seal.
Also, screw the independent developer who doesn’t have artists to lay off nor the budget to hire them.
If they want to make a game then they should spend decades learning to program and decades learning to create art and decades learning to create music.
If they use AI to make code or assets then it completely invalidates their work and the fun that I’m having with their game is just fake fun.
The only Real Games are those made by giant corporations with the capital to hire artists, programmers and musicians that can lovingly hand craft the loot boxes for the next major children’s casino.
e: Honestly, it’s embarrassing that I have to add a /s for people to understand
TBH some of the best art, music and creativity in games comes from small indie studios and developers. Who put creativity and skill into their project. They make it good by actually making it all. Games with a unique style and fun ideas come from small indie studios who need supporting.
AI is a shortcut to stealing others work by proxy. It creates content that is non-novel by its very design and by the very limitations of the tool.

What are you on about? It’s the companies churning out loot box after loot box that are programmatically producing them. You’re actively invalidating your own point in your rant.
At this point, reading your comment again. I’m really hoping I just missed some dry sarcasm.
