Luke has offered the "I can't be fucking bothered" position in this debate, and I'm offering the "please throw a fastball at my nuts as hard as you can" position.

i realise this makes me a video games criticism pariah, but im beyond caring i have enough shit going on in my life, i dont need any more trials

The plan is to continually update this list. If your studio has rejected generative AI, get in touch!

I love that the reasons range from short and "expected." "Fuck AI" and such. To longer, more detailed reasonings that may even take rhetorical stances that try to "understand" AI and come up short. See Blue Bottle Games and D-CELL Games. But all end up in the same place. Say no to AI.

an hono(u)r to be included with a bunch of cool studios who also hate AI! AI sux, support real devs making real games!! 🚫🤖

We shared some of our reasoning for keeping generative AI out of our creative process with @aftermath.site. Respecting our players' time and attention is at the core of everything we do. If something isn't worth our time to make, it's not worth our players' time to engage with it.

this kind of work—not to mention aftermath's own stance on AI—is enabled by subscriber support. and hey, as part of hater week, we're currently having a sale. perfect time to join a cool community and help us grow

debuting as part of @aftermath.site's hater week, here's my list of (so far) over 50 video game studios that are rejecting generative AI, each with their rationale for doing so

Over 25,000 people are into the website enough to get sent some newsletters and read 6 blogs every month. Converting just 1000-2000 of them into regular paying subs transforms the business! If that's you, try it out this month for just $1! aftermath.site/aftermath-su...

It really cannot be stressed enough how entirely reasonable and obtainable the goals of orgs like Aftermath are. What if you gave sites like this a buck every time your lip curled in annoyance at bad journalism elsewhere from billionaire-led, industry-complicit rags?

I hear the people who own this website are really cute btw

I disagree with this take immensely, but I have to admit that it is well argued.

“His chain fake, and Godzilla should expose him for the fraud he is.”
