It's interesting how indies with smaller teams and budgets manage just fine without implementing genAI "productivity tools".
Worth saying that Kitfox does not use genAI for anything we do. This includes our developed and published games and our marketing materials.

Dwarf Fortress players are also creating their own lore reasons for why this bug was patched out.
But what if the Dwarf Fortress babies WANT to worship extra deities?

Kojima (and his giant team) make cool games but I definitely sideeye the fact that he's so buddy buddy with Keighley. The dude does not need the validation of imax nepo baby for cred in the Western game market.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

Ah yes, James Bond specifically known for its strict adherence to continuity between movies.
It's not like they started the film series with book six or anything like thatttt.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I'll never forget going to The Game Awards when Boyfriend Dungeon was nominated. We had to scramble to find an off-site COVID testing center because they wouldn't let us access their on-site services.
Then they didn't let us walk the red carpet or let us in to the show in time.
