"The 'AI Stigma' is real and severely punishes developers": A new study shows how much using AI in games hurts sales, and the numbers are hard to believe (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.

That's a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I'm not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.

Good.

I refuse to engage with anything that uses LLM shit.

One of the worst thing to happen to gaming is the use of LLMs, both in game development and in modding.

I feel like 80% of mods now are LLM vibe coded and it makes me want to scream.

Do the mods not work? Is the problem that people are publishing shit they haven't checked?

I don't know about mods, but for vibe coded programs I've used they have this weird overly slick themed look on the frontend, but the descriptions of the functions aren't quite right and you don't really know what you're getting when you click something, and half the time clicking something does apparently nothing at all.
