It’s not because they used AI, it’s because they lied and fraudulently marketed (and continue to market) the game as never having used AI.

Oh no, they used gen AI filler art which they immediately replaced with human one. They did it the one way they could do it right, let’s demonize them into submission while the flagrant violators get away with murder because why bother?

The game was not developed with generative AI. AI was used in promo and textures for a very limited time and then was substituted. If this is the war engine you are running, I want way off of it, my beef with modern AI is way different.

Who do you think is “getting away” with what?

Ask RAM prices.

What does that have to do with video games? How are they “getting away” with it? Maybe you missed the insane amount of backlash associated with all of those things you just listed?
TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 11 hours ago
Oh yeah, that backlash has totally stopped them from getting away with it, you are totally right.

They lost the awards because they had positively affirmed there was no AI use in production, when the game had AI art in release for customers to see for five days.
They were punished for being dishonest, not for AI.

So they lost because the promo material that seldom makes it into the game included AI this time around, for a very short while? Do you think that makes the people so judgemental look better?
