Game developer sentiment on AI has shifted dramatically: 52% now view generative AI negatively, up from 18% two years ago, according to GDC's 2026 industry survey. The backlash coincides with widespread job losses - 28% of respondents were laid off in the past two years, with AAA studios hit hardest. The gap between investor optimism and worker concerns continues to widen.
