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.

    In the same way that a reader doesn’t want to read an AI novel, why would a gamer want to pay an AI game?

    Ultimately it’s art, and the human connection matters.

      I mean, an “AI game” and a game that used AI somewhere in its development are completely different things. The novel being proof read by AI is also fine in my world
