There is only strength in numbers (as a defence, which is what you’re positing) if everyone is informed of the consequences of their actions. If they are not, they can blame you for misleading them.
People aren’t doubting the virtue of your intent but you are speaking very confidently incorrectly about legal matters which doesn’t help your overall appeal.
Failed?
I’ll have you know, some of us didn’t even try!
Since the 400s anyway.
What exactly do you think the EU is?

Yes, absolutely it is virtue signalling. You are taking an utterly meaningless stance for which the only upside for anyone is you think you maintain some kind of honour despite consuming “theft slop” unknowingly every day, even as you read this sentence, and the only downside for anyone is that you don’t get to experience a game that you otherwise would enjoy used to have, even if deliberately and knowingly, used to have some AI textures.
You’re the one who ignored what I said, which is why I’m essentially just having to repeat myself. If you take such hardline stance that any use at all is “theft slop”, you might as well go offline. It’s in the code that made the app you’re using. It’s in the code running your OS. It’s in music you listen to. It’s in the movies you watch.
Absolutely push back on theft - deliberate misrepresentation of someone’s work or style as orignal. Absolutely push back on slop. Just because it took a minute to generate something doesn’t mean you don’t then check it before productionising it. But taking this weird religious stance where something literally is tainted from previously having used AI, that is just for you. You’ve got about 30,000 days on this earth, man. Probably a good chunk of that is gone already. Spend a few hours of it playing an interesting, original game which does more to demonstrate the value of real creativity and originality than any little personal protest you indulge yourself in.
They removed the AI content less than a week after release. By unspecified I mean it wasn’t a deliberate “this is the AI section”.
The awards were given 4 days ago, 6 months after release (more?). So the judgement is not on the game as it stands or even as it was submitted.
The awards don’t matter, I’m just genuinely baffled by this person depriving themselves of joy because of some virtue signalling that relies entirely on just not being aware of AI being used everywhere else.
Following the publication of this article, Sandfall Interactive wishes to provide the following clarifications.
The studio states that it was in contact with El País on April 25 - three months prior to this publication. During these exchanges, Sandfall Interactive indicated that it had used a limited number of pre-existing assets, notably 3D assets sourced from the Unreal Engine Marketplace. None of these assets were created using artificial intelligence. Sandfall Interactive further clarifies that there are no generative Al-created assets in the game. When the first Al tools became available in 2022, some members of the team briefly experimented with them to generate temporary placeholder textures. Upon release, instances of a placeholder texture were removed within 5 days to be replaced with the correct textures that had always been intended for release, but were missed during the Quality Assurance process.
Because they used, and then removed, placeholder AO generated textures in some unspecified location?
I hate to break it to you buddy but for the last 2 years every piece of software you’ve used, including this one, has had the dev experiment with AI tools.
It’s an ENUM and other people have to read this fucking codebase too, Brian!
Bit silly. In this scenario, you’re not measuring the speed of the truck. You’re measuring the time it takes to complete a lap. And we are the ballerina rotating, and as we are a miniature plastic ballerina with no outside frame of reference, our own regular rotation is the only consistent measure we have.
Is there still a market for anything in the middle ground between phone camera and mirrorless/DSLR?
Me answering the first paragraph you wrote of rambling screed is a ‘strawman’? Who taught you to write?
Well no, your metaphor is based on the premise that copy and paste is difficult. You can compare it to something ridiculous, but it doesn’t change that copying and pasting something is something actual children master.
Did you just compare copying and pasting files to running Quake on a smart fridge?
I appreciate your admission that there would be some bugs but the no comment cult took your input and made it the nominee voice to disagree with me. Anyway, here’s the incredible list of bugs this release caused, many of them install-breaking.
Particularly if they are releasing so many small changes. This is a nonsensical change log and really shows the difference in maturity between this and other projects. Releasing lots of small changes all in one release is a bad idea. This should have been a major version release or 3 patch releases.
Edit: I have angered the Jellyfiles
Yes quoting 90s action movies is a sure sign of utter fury. It’s all boy I wasn’t giving out to you, I was taking the piss that you won’t just say Ireland while giving about 5 clear indications that you’re from Ireland sham.
It’s a line from Jurassic Park where someone is trying to be secretive about who they are (like this person is trying not to say they are from Ireland), so the other character shouts to the rest of the restaurant their name (“Dodgson! We got Dodgson here! See, nobody cares.”).
Irish! We got an Irish here!
See? Nobody cares.
