Honestly all creative arts are based off ideas previously thought up or done, its transformative arts afterall.

The issue is when it comes to DIRECT copying works. And this is where it gets grey because AI algorithms take works of arts and modifies them, but without the original authors works it has nothing, cannot come up with anything on its own.

This is not the case with humans, we can spin up crap without original concepts in our head, it just rarely happens.

So I don't think PalWorld can be sued for plagiarism! that would break the entire legal system and put us into a dark future where everyone gets sued by the big powerful companies.

But they can sue if they find a model that is a 1:1 copy of their works or has stolen assets, that is copyright infringement which has a place in the courts.

That is my 2 cents about it all. Sorry if I'm misinformed about something, just the way I understand it atm.

Quoting: Klauscarbon copies

NONE of them are carbon copies, some are quite close, but none are carbon copies from what I've seen. A simple vertices inspection would reveal that.

This was probably spurred up by Pokemon cultists frothing at the mount in anger on reddit who no doubt were hounding Nintendo and Pokemon company every 5minutes to sue/delete PalWorld!

Meh, AI has its uses. People need to look how its used before grabbing their torches and pitchforks.

If AI generated material is used correctly then it can be a asset to a game studio but if its being used because everyone is just too lazy and trying to skip over work, well then it typically shows and the game suffers for it!

Generative AI is really not meant to be a 100% do-it-all thing, more like 70% of work, 30% fixed up and enhanced by humans. IMO

We'll see if the game launchers actually start using this...

On the Steam Deck this gets 25-40fps, hopefully that can be improved. Be nice if the developer made a config preset in-game to toggle SD optimizations.

In saying all that, this isn't my type of game but it is clearly the meta everyone is playing atm (except pokemon fans, they are angry as always)

Pretty excited for this one. Got the ultimate version (got on discount) sitting in my steam account waiting.

I did enjoy Stalker Anomaly and mods. Might reboot up a new game sometime soon.

Apparently is FULL of cheaters/hackers.

Also it has a coin shop which I'd hope is only cosmetics but wouldn't be surprised if there is a pay2win element. Either way cheaters ruin games such as this where everyone expects to be playing on a more or less level playing field, but ultimately aren't due to ineffective anti-cheating methods.

Wouldn't be surprised if they implement kernel level DRM (blocking Linux) in hopes to stop cheating (it won't).

The only way to stop cheating is custom design anti-cheat into their OWN server and client code, relying on generic third party tools only cuts out the MOST laziest of cheaters!
