I won't be playing any Steam Next Fest games that have used AI.

You can check the AI section on the steam store page of each game.

Our industry is suffering because workers are being replaced with AI "trained" on stolen work.

Don't support the erosion of our artform.

I know a few people with them, my only advice is relax and don't sweat a few rough nights if this happens, you'll get used to it pretty quickly.

Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

We talk about vendor lock-in a lot in my day job! The only good news for us is we never sign contracts without solid exit clauses so stuff about arbitrary contract changes is less of a concern but successfully getting our data back IS. 🫠

It's called a horror story but could just be called "any Tuesday" because nothing in here is surprising or shocking when you've been in IT and had to deal with vendors*.

*not all vendors. Just some. They know who they are.

“Because when a company that claims to “support open source” behaves like that, we all lose.
…And that’s the real horror of the story - not the software, but what people do with it.”

The Email They Shouldn't Have Read

A real-world horror story about contracts, control, and the dark side of managed open source.
