A new study attempts to prove gamers aren't sold on AI, but I didn't think the effects were this significant

A new study from Game Oracle demonstrates the negative effects the use of AI can have on sales (and reputation). There's a lot to unpack here, but the main message is resounding: we're not yet ready for the future of gaming.

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.

    Competent developers don’t use computers either. Nor electricity. The really competent programmers do all their code solely on pencil and paper /s

      Right, because anyone who doesn’t use tools that ruin their code with slop is archaic, right?

        No, just you. I can tell you make nothing but slop. You wish your code could measure up to first generation LLM output.
