Sure, why not? Its up to gamers to dump them, and only time will tell how this will evolve.
It also comes to the point replacing employees with AI.

Just so people know, you can ignore games by publisher in steam by searching their name in the store, clicking their page, then click the gear icon to ignore. EA who? Ubiwhat?

For those that don't know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, they shed all their devs/projects worth anything, and now with Qwen/Longcat SAI is beyond obsolete.
Apparently EA didn't get the message. They invested in a broken, burning company who's only decent results are free and old?
...Sounds about right.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I've had EA on ignore for years (whenever they demanded we switch to Origin) and they still showed up on my front page during the last sale !

I dream of AI being used to generate cool, theme appropriate NPCs for an indie dev that doesn't have an army of talented writers at their disposal.
But honestly let's face it, that's never what they'll aim for. It's all about not paying people, for these assholes. They'll happily fire their talented writers of they can use AI instead, never once wondering who's gonna feed the AI in the first place.
And so it is a matter of principle to say no to AI in general, because you know they'll always pick the worst possible way to use it. -
Will my steam account get banned if I pre-order every one of their games, click play for 5 minutes then instantly refund? I have my faith, but I don't know if they'd see that as abuse of their refund policy.
Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.

Ubishit.

I don't want to punish my computer by installing origin.

This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them.
The only wrinkle in this is that Trump's son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they'll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb.
Support indie devs.

Your experience counts for jack shit. There is zero evidence that AI is substantially improving efficiency. There is some that suggests its effect is negative.
And your comment also counts for jackshit since you provided no evidence of your claims, not even your own experience.
So you can fuck right off, buddy.

You make the claim it has an order of magnitude benefit, then you get to provide the proof.
And there isn't any. There is some evidence that people will fool themselves into thinking it makes them faster, and it sounds like you're one of them.

Clearly the fix the AAAA games.

More likely snatched up by VC to put them on (fuck) ICE or passed around to other AI companies until they're really good and dead.

Whoa this is the next level DMing. Before, to get the same result, you better have a whole team writing and producing content. You have recaps, illustrations and music for a TTRPG, yes it's still a ton of manual work but looking at how fast things are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if this is an app in a few years and everyone gets this amazing experience.

The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.

"Making games with AI" sounds like hell… like this is what hell must be.
Sitting there prompting AI, getting shitty ass results, prompting it again and again until you eventually settle for slightly less shitty results. The frustration and the loss of agency… oh God, someone should make a psychological horror about this: a frustrated artist forced to ditch their skills and tools and use AI to bring their unique vision to life, and throughout the film you watch them descend deeper and deeper into madness and depression until they burn down a data center and laugh manically as it disintegrates around them.
Text generation is the least you can do. You can still fire up Photoshop and feed in a half-finished image. Diffusion turns whatever you have into whatever you describe. If it does decent scratches on metal, but won't put them exactly where you want, then select them and move them, and the robot will smooth it over.
The very first article I read about Stable Diffusion, three years ago, had the author doodling mountains and flipping a spaceship. All the image-to-video stuff demands you provide art, as an input. Prompts alone are just a tech demo gone feral.

The haters are so mad you got the robot to do some of the things it's for. Anything beyond 'I click the button and it draws a pretty lady! I'm a artist!' really fucks with their absolutism. That's a threat to ingroup solidarity for the ones who've made opposition part of their identity.
