Generative AI has no place in video games (or anywhere else for that matter)! Also, wild that Sandfall probably lied, which led to the retraction.

Shortcutting this via genAI makes for lazy communication
Regarding the April 2025 interview, that was 8 months ago! Things change, new information becomes available, people form opinions. I would hope 8 months is long enough to come to the conclusion that tools aren't useful and you should stop. Especially they're worried about "agility" and "keeping up".

My brain still gets hooked on individual pieces of concept art from #DragonAge or #MassEffect, because they weren't just a Cool Image for the sake of cool imagery: they were an additional window into the world of the game, created by someone who understood how that world could grow.

I ride the train, walk among the buildings, men in Monday suits. The flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, & children all of them, break my heart. There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. Like you, I was born. Like you, I was raised in the institution of dreaming. Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.
