i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

People say gatekeeping a hobby is bad, but it has a very specific use case: You should gatekeep if it means bullying away anybody who thinks "attack drone game boy" is a product worth creating or buying.
Do not allow the actual worst people to believe this hobby is even neutral about their grift.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

i know another video game director who left a usb stick behind once
"I gave a USB stick with all my ideas on it to my personal assistant, kind of like a will," said the Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima. "Perhaps they could continue to make things after I’m gone at Kojima Productions." https://bit.ly/3GZfD96

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

Harada basically said the same thing last time I talked to him
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.
