@Logonogo (#16) This does not apply to you, obviously, but have you seen the amount of people that defend corporations online for simply having made their "favourite thing"? They give out a carte blanche to them, whatever the accusation may be (e.g. Rockstar Games: crunch, unpaid overtime, union busting, racism and sexism in the office structure). Worse yet is when they don't care.
The right thing to do. As ever, there will be people watching their releases under a microscope to verify their claim. All the AI friends on the web should remember that not a single company in existence is your "friend". Whether they produced your favourite consumer good or not. I will not ever play Clair Obscur because of this. Maybe their next title, but definitely not on day one. Obviously.
@PuppetMaster (#60) exactly that is my underlying issue with this. I am so firm with that opinion that I won't ever buy a single product that ha genAI used in it's development, if known.
@PuppetMaster These bullshiยกt awards only makes the exec board give out more money for any further games. It's an industry thing gamers should not even care about. Fukk Sandfall for lying itfp and now trying to spin the narrative. F Swen Wincke as well, I might add.
@kyleforrester87 (#49) I wish you that you must never ever are one of those disgruntled workers. You would be devastated. You're a worker nonetheless, whether you like the fact or not!
@Drago201 (#24) it's about generative AI, the one that creates visible things in video games. That's what the general problem is, and you know it. People keep jacking off to these pointless awards and unleash fury when their favourite games don't get these. Maybe you too, which is why you presumably distort the argument.
Good luck trying to wind yourself out of this one, Swenni. The amount of people willing to pay for slopgames is sad, tho! Money talks, and my money will go where cultural value is made. That isn't in the efficiency department.
I'm looking forward to what the game will become and if he stays true to his word. I also leave it to the tech afficionados and the YouTube creators to pick apart what's AI and what's not.
What the interview DID do is garner attention to Larian and Divinity in general. Every publicity is good publicity. Applause to the marketing team, Schreier and Wincke.
Why is this even news? Who tf cares that much about this pointless external validation that much? A platinum here and there with current titles? Okay. But ancient games without them? LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!
I'm so over with anything Yakuza. In reality they're not as cool and flashy as they come through Sega. They're nationalists and take a big part in union busting in Japan, especially as muscle for the dirty work. And yes, I will not differentiate between fiction and fun, because this should not be gloryfied.

@RoomWithaMoose (#20) it's about them lying in their application form itfp. Awards suck azz, but the IGA are entitled to do what they did.

Re: Embattled Divinity Dev to Host Q&A with Fans After Tough Week
@dskatter (#46) certainly not, but they use it to exploit workers even more to hoard bigger riches for themselves. Enjoy your slop!

The old meat grinder hamster wheel turns round and round and round. I'm so fed up with the AAA gaming industry. Naughty Dog can keep their game.
