There was no Ai mentioned in the itchio page or the post.

I didn’t want an indie developer to disappear, if the work is honest and the game is fun.

Was the game honest? It sure sounds like it was made with AI and then the dev lied about and hid it. It sure sounds like they deceptively marketed their game and stole other artists’ content in the process.

Good riddance. Everyone should be shunning people like this.

OP literally already admitted there’s AI involved. Get off your high horse.

“Look how much better this artist got when he stopped creating art and gave into the robots!!!”

No thanks, blacklisted.

LittleBigPlanet and Until Dawn are their big ones

That is absolutely not normal procedure. Apps generally use one universal API key per API surface, not unique keys per user.

People who dislike the game aren’t going to review it

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about how most media ratings work.

What’s a virtual menu

I haven’t played my PS5 in many months, and have no motivation to get a PS6 for $1000 or whatever they end up on. It’s sad to see Sony games go, because I have and absolutely would continue to get them on PC, but there’s literally no chance of me buying another one of their consoles.

How is “upscaling while preserving it” not the exact same philosophy as “enhance by applying a filter?”

You just don’t like the specific filter, it’s very literally the same process.

Wasn’t the Mirror’s Edge sequel prequel also open-world? That game failed pretty spectacularly, so how is this different? I see mention of upgrades, but the article really doesn’t go into much depth at all

I bounced off when he described “the one piece nobody had thought of” for the third time without actually saying which piece. Fucking keep-watching-bait bullshit

It’s not, but the people who are asking are often not tech-savvy, and any amount of self-hosting will be hard for them

Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing

Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.

Yeah, that’s not what happened here.

You believe some forms of art shouldn’t exist at all just because a small percentage of people can’t experience it? Watercolor as an art form should be abolished? Music without strong bass shouldn’t be allowed? All paintings must incorporate strong textures?

Absolutely wild.

You gave lots of examples that accommodate these disabilities, and that’s awesome and obviously I support that!

What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace? You called out watercolor but don’t appear to be angry at watercolor artists like you are at game developers. Why are all games required to accommodate all people, but other art isn’t? Why is that where your line is drawn?

Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.

Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.

Don’t want the game to be too easy? Don’t fucking turn down the difficulty. Saying “I don’t want the game to be easier” is really just saying “I know I don’t have any self-control, and would inevitably turn down the difficulty when I hit a roadblock.”

You’re complaining about players opinions, but I’m saying the artist is not required to sacrifice their vision for accessibility reasons. Not all art is for everyone, and that’s fine. You don’t have to play every game.

But my artistic integrity and vision!"

No, shut up. Your vision doesn’t mean squat if my experience with the game is annoying to the point where I don’t even care

Nah, miss me with this bullshit. Not every game is for you, and it doesn’t have to be. An artist is not required to water down their vision because you’re picky.

How on Earth did Death Stranding get 7 nominations? Crazy
