This is THE single most frustrating thing for me about The Game Awards. I did write an essay on this but tbh, I just can’t be fucked anymore so… but that it thrives by making itself infrastructure, a keeper of information the press need to survive, is properly awful, slimy nonsense.

If I was dead set that all games should and inevitably will include a specific production feature I would absolutely want a label so I could point to how successful those games are.
Sween obviously wants to be able to claim that all games are now made with genAI without you being able to check.

Toddler is putting a noodle in his mouth and playing "Noodle Clarinet". Then he's tapping it with his fingers and playing "Noodle Synthesizer". He wants me to sing the Piña Colada song.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

How suspect that there's no consensus in favour of billionaire info weapons on a website that isn't throttled by billionaires. Is this a cult?
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
