people aren’t embarrassed enough because how dare you say this about a woman who harassed child survivors of mass shootings and spouted conspiracies about Jewish space lasers, among other bigoted drivel

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!

Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.

You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

This is quite interesting because I don't remember gaming companies ever doing this before. When we rejected 32X, Sega didn't put out a statement like "I think you're all being silly. Come on. Please?"
"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.

I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit

Stop interviewing CEOs and start interviewing the people who actually make games.

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

It literally has a disclosure on its Steam page. It didn't "slip through", man. You tried to charge people for a thing that's got slop in it and they're mad.

I have an extension to add a pop-up on the Steam page for it but I really think it should be by default top-of-page.

After telling queer folk that Target isn't a store for them, their stock is worth now what it was worth during the pandemic, when people couldn't visit their store.

You know what? Good. Pretending to support all Americans until you thought you could get away w/backing fascism? Yeah, fuck Target.

I get a lot of requests and replies from English speakers, so I really want to respond properly. But the only English word I know is “boobies” (learned from the movie Bikini Car Wash), so I'm relying on translations... sorry about that.

Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization.

It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.
