In October, the floodgates burst open, and the games industry fully embraced AI. It was bad, topped off by Valve saying its not their job to curtail AI slop on Steam. Did you know Gabe Newell donated $20 million to OpenAI?

I keep (or, kept) a running list of every video game studio that uses AI. It grew to over 85 developers in October. With all the devs lashing out and defending their AI use, and the rise of text-to-game AI engines, I can’t keep doing it anymore.
