    There’s a real economic cost to [blah blah crybaby way of saying AI disclosures]

    Yes. There is. Because informed consumers vote with their wallets. As it should be. Moron.

      I notice slopcoders often maintain that “slop code is just as good as code written by humans- in fact it is better!” while also refusing to clearly label their output as slop.

      At this point he has whined about it so much that everyone’s going to know the game uses AI, even if they don’t disclose it. He would have genuinely being better off shutting up about it.

      The Epic Store has always been anti-consumer so it’s no surprise he defends that kind of practice.

          I’m not sure what your point is because Steam is absolutely flooded with porn games, especially since the rise of genAI.

              Really? They’re all over my Steam front page. And I’ve never bought a single one.

              Do you have adult games toggled off in Steam settings? That may be why you never see them.

        It gives consumers free games and takes a smaller cut from the developers than steam. All corporations have mutually exclusive interests with the consumer tho.

          Wow, amazing. Nevermind that most those giveaways are on sales for peanuts anyway. And you get them on garbage launcher.

          and takes a smaller cut from the developers than steam.

          Great, they take smaller cut. At a low, low cost of being a black hole of exposure. But hey! They do take a smaller cut from the two copies you do sell.

          They do that to try to gain marketshare. They should try to just stop being shitty instead and improve their client. And get off Xitter.

            They do that to try to gain marketshare.

            This is every single action any entity which exists to extract profit from you that isn’t immediately increasing revenue or decreasing expenses/wages.

            They should try to just stop being shitty

            Once again, this is done to gain marketshare

            It’s weird as fuck to see people with loyalty to one corporation or another.

              Sue. My point is they’re not doing it out of the good of their heart. They’re doing it in lieu of actually making it a good platform to buy from.

                No corporation has ever done anything out of the good of its heart because they do not have hearts, you are still treating them like people instead of entities that exist exclusively to extract money from you while giving as little money to its workers as possible.

                They’re doing it in lieu of actually making it a good platform to buy from.

                Nah, giving the workers more money and me free games does more to make a platform viable than features. But doing shit everyone hates like filling your store with slop games that can’t be identified until you’ve already paid is a dumb decision.

                  You’re an idiot that only cares about getting free stuff. You are arguing against people having “loyalty to one corporation or another” while endlessly defending the objectively worse company simply because you like to get free games…
