"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.

Yeah I mostly stopped playing Stellaris because the AI was so frustrating, I tried playing with the Federations DLC exactly once and my allies proceeded to do fucking nothing and refuse to goto war with the militaristic xenophobes that were knocking on my door.

It's just nuts that the only way I can win a war with castile is to cheese the AI so bad. Like literally i just carpet seiged the unfortified parts before they could get my levies, disbanded them, then re raised them while their armies were on the other side of the peninsula. I shouldn't be allowed to do all that but I HAD TO because every single war i ever fight my northern African allies just run around doing nothing

I just don't get how the fucking game devs look at this and don't think, wow, this needs to be our highest priority to fix
