Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'

I’m hard pressed to name a nominee that wasn’t made with love. And it seems weird to insist a game as lauded as E33 needs another awards show genuflection to reaffirm it’s status.

That’s a fair point, Skong was made by like 3 people and it’s probably one of the best games of all time.

While there’s no doubt that they have technically break the rules, just the fact that they afaik patched the few textures before this controversy (as far as I know, it’s possible that it was a reaction to this?), this simply sounds like a (very succesful) PR attempt by Indie Game Awards.

There’s no doubt that Clair Obscire isn’t a AI slop that cheapened on artists or art with GenAI, whis is the spirit of the rules IGA has. If you don’t take the rules literaly, they deserve the award. And that’s IMO important.

I’ve never heard about IGA before this, so it worked to draw attention to them.

I’m very OK with having rules in place to reject work where you replaced artists with AI. But this is not the case.

  Depends on why they’re so anti-AI. AI slop replacing artists isn’t the only harm it causes.

  Regardless of why anyone involved did the the things they did, the rules were clearly stated. The violation of the rules may have been an honest mistake, but that doesn’t change the facts at hand.
  
  Furthermore, even if they removed every bit and pixel produced by or with the help of AI didn’t make it to the production release, the fact remains that it was used in the production process. It is hard to give them the benefit of the doubt on this part; how could it have slipped their mind that they did this?
  
  The awards are a contest with rules just like any other contest, and the rules are what makes it a contest in the first place. If football ignored some of their rules, it would just be a big field with 22 guys beating the shit out of each other for a ball.
