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.

    It’s just nuts that the only way I can win a war with castile is to cheese the AI so bad. Like literally i just carpet seiged the unfortified parts before they could get my levies, disbanded them, then re raised them while their armies were on the other side of the peninsula. I shouldn’t be allowed to do all that but I HAD TO because every single war i ever fight my northern African allies just run around doing nothing

    I just don’t get how the fucking game devs look at this and don’t think, wow, this needs to be our highest priority to fix
