I don't like how the word "nuanced" became synonymous with "finding a middle ground" between "extremes"

it's possible to have a nuanced opinion, and yet also firmly stand within one of the extremes
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

My hot take about Metroid is that I'm not big into Metroid but I don't think you should ever hear a single human voice or see a single human face during the course of those games unless you 101%'d it, and then you get to see Samus's newest gorgeous visage say "congratulations, gamer" at the camera

FGC folks - this is who bought EVO, runs the Esports World Cup, and is throwing obscene amounts of money at Fatal Fury / SNK games.

We cannot support this.

Few things in this world are untouched by evil, but this is a very unambiguous case for a boycott.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Gonna need you all to think real hard and deep about whether or not you wanna support Rockstar financially when GTA6 comes out. You can make your own choices, but personally, I say you shouldn't reward them for being one of the scummiest companies in the games industry.

Rich PvE combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders a more approachable extraction shooter than most, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voice generation is a black mark against its reputation.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

This might be one of the ugliest controllers I've ever seen ... But it has symmetrical sticks so it's still more appealing than literally every Xbox Shaped Controller ever

I'll be the fun police.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Remember how The Finals used generative AI and got shit for it?

Remember how The Alters used gen AI and got shit for it?

Remember how Clair Obscur used gen AI and people got real cagey about it?

Remember how ARC Raiders (by the Finals team!) used gen AI and people were super excited for it?
