All Steam is doing is requiring disclosure of AI usage. Keep in mind that the average consumer likely doesn’t care enough to abhor AI for ethical reasons. Basically, AI had no visible positive impact on gaming so far. Otherwise, disclosing AI use would not harm your ability to sell your game. Fact is, there’s no killer app pro AI people can point to.
Sweeney is such a fucking clown
Fuck around and find out. He fucks around and still doesn’t find out.
Having too much money insulates you from having to find out
“This week, Tim Sweeney pulls more shit out of his ass because he still isn’t capable of running a company good enough to have an accidental monopoly.”
If he keeps going like this, Steam will be getting a Christmas bonus out of a slander case.
He’s so jealous of Steam you can smell it.
He calls Valve a monopoly, but he doesn’t actually hate monopolies, he hates that he’s not in charge of one.
IDK why, he has plenty of money lol
Greed
And his fear of inadequacy, of course.
Have you considered that he could have more money though? It wouldn’t really change anything for him, but the number would be bigger, and that’s really… important?
Translation: “stop giving consumers alternatives. It makes it difficult for us to beat them into submission”
There is no AI hate campaign, it’s natural hate!
Tim should just start his own store where he can set the rules and let the market decide whether or not they like the disclosures.
If he’s right, his store would be a dominant force, and … what’s that? He’s been trying that for the better part of a decade and nobody buys anything there?
Maybe if he starts using slimy business tactics like store exclusivity on a normally open platfo- hold on, I’ve just been given a note… ok, wow.
Next I’ll find out he’s been giving games away and still can’t- oh, another note… interesting…
But at least he has a bunch of fantastic programmers making the store the best it can- ok, this note just says “AI”.
Fuck off with your slop, Sweeney.
Sweeney Slop, The Demented Dev of Epic
A disclosure for transparency is not a hate campaign. Actually, Tim is doing a hate campaign against Valve.
Good grief, Tim Sweeney is such an insufferable cunt.
It’s too bad, I really like his early work. Jill of the Jungle, Epic Pinball, Jazz the Jackrabbit, Tyrian, all the Unreal Tournament games, Unreal Engine 1/2/3
Epic Pinball was made by the founder of Digital Extremes. He and the team he built there did a ton of Unreal through UT2003. UT2004 was the end of the partnership, with Epic handling the new design work and Digital Extremes being relegated to art, UI, and a few maps.
Tyrian and UT:GOTY were two of the greatest games to come out of the 90’s.
Theres an opensource port of Tyrian called opentyrian.
I’ve got my original install (copied 500 times) running in DosBox and UT:GOTY from the Old Unreal project.
I’ve gotten a refund on one game so far that got outed for using AI. Even with that, it’s really easy for a dev to sweep away all AI discussion on their community forum.
Steam is doing the bare minimum in terms of AI disclosure. I guess even that is enough to make Sweeney seethe.
It’s hilarious how out of touch with gamers Sweeny is.
Has no one sat Tim down and explained to him how much free marketing he gives Steam?
He’d probably just blame Gabe for that too.
Ah there’s the Tim Sweeney we know! Balance has been restored
What a mega loser…
You might even say he’s an epic loser…
