Yeah, because they have the freedom to even make those choices in the first place, lmao.

You can be united under democracy and by necessity still disagree over different ideas

When artists arent available a rendered placeholder would give a more appropriate proof of concept than blank textures with text on them.

A semantics discussion isnt required to know that to do something responsibly, that it means to act in good faith and to be confidently informed enough to do so. We measure responsibility by the absence of harm.

Sure, that works too.

I could think of of plenty examples, but a good use for pirating would be Disco Elysium - the publishers stole the IP of the creators unjustly, so it would be cobsidered by many ethical to not purchase the game and instead pirate it and donate a comfortable amount to the actual creators patreons. You are actuallu combating theft, in this instance.

But of course it would not be responsible to pirate most indie games

This feels like unecessary absolutism and fear mongeting. I am by no means an AI lover, but people shouldn't let the worst implimentations of something cloud their judgement.

I feel the question should be "Does this project use AI responsibly?" not "Was AI used?"

Maybe what we should be advocating for is transparency with these decisions?

"That's kinda how announcement trailers usually go?" Isn't an appeal to tradition or a moral preference statement, which you seem to interpreted it as.. It was just questioning your expectations. They are simply pointing out that you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be.

Announcement trailers are non-committal by design - it's the formal declaration of a project without making promises that are too early to make.

Jesus - how do you all sleep at night?!?!??

Yeah this is it right here, said more elequently than I could have managed lol

Palestine needs support, and the rhetoric that its a complex or morally grey situation just needlesly complicates and delays progress.

Calling it complex only serves Israeli agenda.

The issue is simple - No amount of complexity justifies a genocide.

console port actually brings new players and revenue to the project, while linux is a relatively tiny marketshare of people who already have a way of playing the game

lets be real, their goals are to probably to have a profitable project

it runs perfectly on proton.

seems like an unnecessary workload for an already busy team of developers

pausing during cutscenes - it's weird that this isn't always an option even in AAA
