It’s a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.
That’s a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I’m not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.
“The ‘excrement stigma’ is real and severely punishes sandwich shops.” A new study shows how much using excrement in sandwiches hurts sales…
I dunno, guys, have your maybe considered not serving shit sandwiches? But no, I guess “try to use it in ways your customers won’t notice” is the only way forward.

Yes I have a stigma against idiots who are terminally obsessed with AI, I have it because the only way to stop them ruining everything with AI is endless shame.
It is the same with all forms of fascism.

I think we all hoped AI would mean more convincing worlds and characters, what we got is effectively the opposite with a nice side dish of job losses and environmental catastrophe.

No. Competent developers aren’t using AI.
Competent developers don’t use computers either. Nor electricity. The really competent programmers do all their code solely on pencil and paper /s
Right, because anyone who doesn’t use tools that ruin their code with slop is archaic, right?
No, just you. I can tell you make nothing but slop. You wish your code could measure up to first generation LLM output.
*The AI Stigma is real and severely punishes “”“developers”“”.
Did anyone ever ask the AI if it wants to create game or play games?
