1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

I hear him, and will now assume anything they put out is ai generated. Don't even need the disclosure when they give themselves away by complaining so much.

I say it's irresponsible and petty to keep Alan Wake 2 an Epic Store exclusive.

He sounds like a big complainer.

This is why Steam has a "monopoly" by technicality. Steam doesn't do anything to the competition, the competition just keeps making an objectively worse platform so bad that they end up killing themselves. Steam shouldn't have to be accountable for that, its not Gabe's fault the other CEOs are stupid.

So irresponsible to give their users information. Then they can make… informed decisions!!!! 😱

If you truly think AI is so great, why don't you want to disclose it?

[–] placebo@lemmy.zip 3 points 37 minutes ago

Because what matters is what customers think - and many people hate AI.

He's only mad because Unreal Engine 6 is going all-in on AI development and he's realizing he just shot his company (and all other users of their engine) in the foot.

Worse, Steam even makes games disclose if they’re…gulp “Single-Player”.

What self-respecting gamer would play games designed for a single player? That just marks someone as antisocial. Or poor. It’s really mean to studios to have to disclose info like that about the content of their game.

His argument makes no sense. What he is saying is that game devs will fall behind competition if they have to disclose AI use.. Which correctly implies that customers will not buy products in the AI category.. Which means clients don't want AI snuck into games. This means he would rather sell you games with AI against your consent than be transparent.

The problem he proposes only exists in his universe where AI is not disclosed versus on steam where those companies that use AI are now actually falling behind those that don't.

Consumer choice really sucks when you've got a worse product.

Guess who's using AI and ashamed of it?

Their initials are E.G.
