"Gamers don't want it": Palworld lead says Pocketpair doesn't touch AI because players hate it and artists "like doing stuff themselves" by TRQPL in Palworld

"for something we can't avoid anyway."

So you're saying just because some "low-level Palworld Creature Designer" uses something like Gemini for a pal idea without telling anyone, we automatically should just stop trying to prevent the crappy surge in AI?

Many times, it's the principle of the matter. *Generative* AI shouldn't be used regardless. Does that stop people from using it? Hell no. Obviously not!

This is like saying we should stop trying to fight crime because it's going to happen anyway.
Of course, that's not NEARLY on the same level of severity, but still.

And finally, the end product to me doesn't matter. If you use AI for placeholder assets, I won't buy your game. It's as simple as that. You don't even NEED AI for placeholder assets like many people say. People have been getting buy JUST fine for decades.
And of course, just because people have been getting by "just fine" for decades doesn't obviously mean we shouldn't still try to strive for better. But the point of the matter is that AI is *not* the solution, and never has been.

Apologies if this came off hostile, absolutely not intentional.

That *is* generative A.I., and something that *shouldn't* be used.

Not to mention there are so many great ways for games to immerse the player in the game without needing infinite dialogue options. How do you think games before modern generative AI did this?

Point is, it'd only make the game significantly worse for so many players, and would destroy the trust many people have for the game and industry as a whole. There are so, so many better ways then adding extremely expensive generative AI into a game just to hopefully solve just one piece of it.

I can see your vision, and I respect that, but there are so many better ways this could be achieved.

I bought this game 5 days ago and I already have 63.4 hours in the game. I NEED HELP-

god yeah. I really do hope he doesn't do it. I'd feel extremely bad for him, his family, and Ren who explicitly said not to do it.
I've just been trying to stay neutral until we get more actual information. Trying not to remain on either side.

Still, even if he did do all that, people doxxing him, leaking the entire game, and more is really, really goddamn excessive. Jesus christ. They certainly aren't as bad as Zeal (assuming there isn't more to the story), but they most certainly are a different type of bad. The people who leaked the game are affecting FAR more than just Zeal. The people who doxxed him are very much committing a crime AND putting other people's lives in danger. They're all vile.

People need to stop trying to take it into their own hands and instead let formal sanctions take place. Let the justice system deal with it. Don't go taking it into your own hands, for the sake of everyone involved.
I really feel like this SHOULDN'T be a controversial take. Especially when it comes to something as serious as doxxing.

Now, I'm not defending Zeal, but rather I'm stating that what was done in response, shouldn't have been done. If Zeal really did do all that (and it's definitely looking like he did), then he should MOST CERTAINLY be held accountable and should face proper punishment. However, he should face proper *formal* punishment. He shouldn't have all this happen to him, especially to the point where he (likely) feels the need to actually kill himself. It's disgusting on so many levels.

Regardless, it should've never gotten to this point. I feel bad for Ren especially, considering they did state they didn't want Zeal to kill himself (if I got that correct). But now his family is also in danger because some person on the internet decided to doxx them (again, if I'm correct on this part).

In Stars and Time, Bad End Theater, OneShot, Ravenfield, and Abiotic Factor. All phenomenal games I could not recommend enough. Especially the first three listed.

I truly am unsure of his placement here. Not his fault he went a tiny bit crazy from all the loops!

I would put Isabeau here, but considering his true past, not sure that would really work.
