finished the episode today! Just want to say I think you did REALLY well Liam. You have a very down to earth, calm, and educated stance on things that comes across very well. Keep doing more episodes please!

Absolutely love this. I think this is an excellent summary of the whole shebang. It's:

1- ethically wrong
2- legally wrong
3- created by stealing source material
4- resulting in low quality garbage

LOVE. I don't even know this game, but now I do, and I love it! Installing via the cachy repo right now and will give it a go.

Gave this another try and was able to immediately get past the scanner bug I had last time: and I love the game! So much so I bought it. Can't wait to give it a proper go! Seems like a great blend of different genres.

that really is a great bundle. There's about 1000 hrs of awesome content there.

My optimist take is that the next few years will see such a glut of a million slop games with all their focus being on iap garbage, that people will just tire of it and stop paying attention. Then the drooling suits will release games that get like 4 installs and zero profits, and will just give up and go have their diaper changed.

Unity will slowly tank over time because it'll turn into a garbage slop gen and nothing more.

Also going along with this is that Godot gets a ton of attention and funding, figures out how to remove the code submission slop, and becomes an anti-ai powerhouse.

Of course, that's my optimist take. Will any of that happen? I don't know. What I do know is that the next 2 / 3 years are going to be ROUGH with all this ai shit. I hate it so much.

I really want a filter on steam itself, or any other stores, that have a "no ai used in this game" button because that'll make it a LOT easier to purchase stuff going forward.
