@Kimyrielle your mention of "contains nuts" is actually spot-on, but not for the reason you intended. The law requires disclosing traces of allergens precisely because they can be found in products where we don't normally expect them. And behold, they are literally everywhere. Go to a shop and try to find a product that doesn't contain "traces of" something else entirely. It's the same with AI. We expect that the game was created by the developer listed on the storefront, but it turns out it contains "traces of" generative AI in coding, art, music etc. etc. Should we stop listing allergens and ai-lergens just because they are so prevalent? I don't think so.
You could argue that there's a difference, because they allergens are listed for health reasons, but it's much more than that. They allow the customer to make an informed decision on which product they will spend their money. I am not allergic to anything, but I avoid certain products for ethical reasons, so I'm also a - maybe unintended - beneficiary of that law. Besides, maybe it's a tad to early to authoritatively proclaim that using AI in games has no negative effects for our health...

It's the unfortunate truth. I've already seen many steam games with *obvious* traces of AI art that don't have the AI disclosure. Tracking and enforcing it is futile. (Which doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try.)

Wouldn't it be better news the other way round? I.e. the game remaining with the original devs but free from Paradox?

I finished two games last week:
Rack'n'Slay, it was pretty cool.
Gris - while I appreciate the art style, the gameplay was pretty boring.
