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.

    Good.

    I refuse to engage with anything that uses LLM shit.

    One of the worst thing to happen to gaming is the use of LLMs, both in game development and in modding.

    I feel like 80% of mods now are LLM vibe coded and it makes me want to scream.

        I don’t know about mods, but for vibe coded programs I’ve used they have this weird overly slick themed look on the frontend, but the descriptions of the functions aren’t quite right and you don’t really know what you’re getting when you click something, and half the time clicking something does apparently nothing at all.
