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.

Both Ana's patreon and kofi have been suspended within 24 hours of each other. She's been doing invaluable reporting on this exact censorship
Given how bad this is getting, I've opened a Donation Tier on SubscribeStar. One-time or recurring, this is one way to help me while combating this nonsense

It's a day ending in a Y, so it's a good time to remind folks to yell at payment processors & credit card companies!
They're trying to remove our peers livelihoods--attacking video games, TTRPGs, vTubers, Kickstarters, comics, anything they define as vaguely "NSFW".

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions
So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.
So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.
The argument I'm hearing about it is "the voice actors got paid for it so it's all good"
We don't know how much they got paid, or if they get royalties every time those lines get used.
It's a slippery slope being brushed off because "game good"
if Arc Raiders had plagiarized art, would it matter?

Ana has been doing invaluable reporting on the video game industry that most sites can't and/or don't want to touch. sadly, a bunch of the income she needs to continue doing so is being restricted. please help her out if you can.

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
