Indie game developers should not cave in and be deterred from using AI in their games, top games are using it. Games with serious creators putting their weight behind them. The key part is if the quality of the outcome amazing or not. And gamers ( me being one myself): yes we want great games. But please be respectful of just how hard it is to make games and just how expensive and risky it is for game developers to be trying to make hit games. Do hold developers accountable for the quality of the product. But don't shame them for their choice of tooling, the artifacts they produce are what matters. AI output can both be good or lacking - at times it can be better than human. In that case, why penalize someone for the tooling they are using ? And in case the output is not good, it's upto the creator to still be on the hook for exercising editorial discretion / testing things. People still have to spend a lot more time reviewing things, getting their teams to work towards a common goal, testing things and finding the fun. The new tech does not trivialize the job of being a game developer, it changes it. I also think Steam and other platforms should remove the tag that says AI generated because in a world where all coders are using AI agent, it stops carrying value and just penalizes the small developers. Personally, I'm long game developers and long AI as a tool that helps them realize their dreams.
