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.

    I don’t think that gamers are actively boycotting AI games.

    Tim Sweeny disagrees. :D According to Tim, Valve is to blame for forcing disclosure of Ai on their shop, as gamers would boycott and destroy Ai games (according to him). Therefore if the industry uses Ai, Valve is to blame, lol. Sorry, I just can’t get over it.
