Buy Octopath Traveler 0, if for no other reason than to send the message it can be viable to make the corpses of gacha games something that actually provides value for society.

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.
"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.

no listen I'm sorry I'm sorry but this is insanely funny to me. what the fuck do you mean they needed a Girl-Coded Monster so they called it FLRT and drew some fucking lavender flowers on the side of the can in magic marker, in the year of our lord 2025.
If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

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*??

Considering AI voices in games was the example used in article, here’s some nuance:

Voice actors are increasingly pressured into giving up their voice prints in perpetuity for some of these games. Some for cheap; others are finding these terms snuck into contracts.

Not an “extreme”, but reality.

I don't believe in a middle ground when you have chatbots encouraging people to kill themselves.

The only ground I'm willing to stand on is the ground where you've buried this shit forever.

Sorry but my compromise position is that genAI dies and every exec that pushed it is forced to wear a scarlet letter
