Why would these AI companies pay for what they instantly stole and are trying desperately to avoid going to court over?

Good morning!
February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life.
Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

@danfloydplus.bsky.social I could be wrong but I remember how mostly positive you were on Zenless Zone Zero’s animations. So I thought this video they did about making their latest Void Hunter unit might be of interest to you. If not, sorry to waste your time

I really liked the finale to Nod-Krai. It took a bit to put the pieces together but the pay off with Columbina/Dottore was worth it. It became one of the best archon quests since Fontaine. Dottore was a great villain but everybody was good in their way #GenshinImpact
