Seeing more and more games on Steam have their AI generation disclosures like ā€œdon’t worry it’s just backgrounds, voices…and so onā€.

If you can’t be bothered to make it, why should I be bothered to play it? Or write about it?

Inflammatory wording on my part, just to hammer the point home. The point still remains either way. Apologies if anyone is upset by the ā€œcan’t be bothered bitā€.

I get hundreds of emails per week, sometimes in a day - what am I gonna pick? AI, or one without? Easy choice.

And I see people are jumping on kitbashing and pre-made assets and stuff but - that is *entirely different*. Someone, an actual person, still put effort into it. Tons of games reuse assets all the time, there’s literally nothing wrong with that.
@gamingonlinux I think it’s important to also differentiate here. Using bought assets from a store is totally legit, as long as you use them creatively. That’s what they’re there for. But, just buying a whole game template and swapping out the assets with other bought assets or just do nothing.. that’s shitty. At least put some effort into it…
