If your board game - hell, any type of game - is going to use AI generated art - even if it's "artist assisted," I'm not wasting my money on it.

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

Did you know it's nearly been 20 years since the Artist Resale Right came to the UK? In that time, over £134 million has been paid out to more than 6,600 artists and estates - all thanks to royalties from the resale of their work. 🎨💸

✨ Nothing says “I respect artists” like asking them to work for free, right?
“Just a quick sample” = “I’m about to disappear with your art and ghost you harder than your ex.” 🕯️💀
