Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.
Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.
If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.
