Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage
warm@kbin.earth 1 day agoDid you even read my short comment? They can buy a brick texture from one of many marketplaces. Giving an artist money directly. Instead of giving money to use stolen assets. So that argument doesnt hold up.

Did you read MY comment at all?
When you have in-house designers you won't go shopping around for textures, especially not placeholder ones.

Why are you being obtuse? If the in-house designers didn't want to make some placeholder textures, they could have used a marketplace instead of AI. Are you just going to keep going in circles?

Why are YOU being obtuse here?
No company with an in-house design team will start trawling marketplaces to spend money on PLACEHOLDERS.
And it's not like the designers "didn't want" to make the textures, you donut - it's that resources need to be allocated, and making minor textures falls on very tail end of the priority list.
At which point they probably had one designer generate the needed placeholders using AI, to ensure they're good enough for placeholders, and called it a day.
I'll ask you one better - why are you trying to force companies to go out of their way to spend money? When digital design tools hit the market, would you have been standing in line telling companies to instead hire out actual manual art instead of working with digital tools, if they didn't have the required in-house resources?

Predictable deflection and going in circles again.
They are spending money on AI, more than the cost of a texture :^)
