Welp, this is a huge bummer. I was so close to buying this game so many times but am now glad I didn't. I really really really wish Steam would just decline ANY game that used any form of generative AI. Request refunds guys. Let's shut down the studio.✌🏻

When I decide to return to streaming, I will be minimizing collab content. I'll only be collabing with people who play games with me outside of streaming & I will initiate that conversation. Too many people today use collaboration purely as content and don't build on that community piece.

Hi, go watch my friend Stachy pleaseeee. He is a delight to be around. 🩷

Demonologist was recently found out to be using generative AI and only now that they were called out have they posted something on their steam about it. To say I am angry is an understatement. #generativeAI #demonologist #genai

I hate when the universe piles more and more shit onto your plate when it's already full. Came home from grabbing groceries to some prick blocking my driveway and then their trailer almost hit my car. I had to bust out the angy.

Slay the Princess was made by like five people and has every single line voiced

Rock Paper Shotgun@rockpapershotgun.bsky.social · last wk.

Arc Raiders devs Embark insist that using genAI for voice lines was necessary, as "actors would just go crazy if they had to read all of that" https://bit.ly/3UASIrI

Two terabytes?! That's a lot of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. 😂 Using AI as your creative director to copy and paste ideas isn't innovation. But AI as a tool within a real, human-led dev workflow? That's a massive opportunity. Curious, where do you draw the line between AI-assisted games and AI slop? 👀

Boring but needed update today. Our terms and such have been updated. altstream.online/terms altstream.online/privacy altstream.online/guidelines Please do give them a read. Particularly the guidelines if you're a streamer.

If itch.io banned GenA/I then I would actually be excited to post my projects on there again. GenA/I is hurting their hosting. It’s hurting their developers. It’s hurting their customers. It’s hurting their reputation. Ban it, Itch. Ban it and the people will come.

I'm having a really rough, emotional day.... Not even sure what I want to do right now.

Was browsing streams and came across this. 🙄 Blocked it. But now you have to sit and wonder what kind of streams you're even getting these days.....cool

If you sell anything on Etsy, MOVE OFF IT. They're stealing artwork to train AI and apparently can just use your work/images no matter what once you upload 🙄

The Meggles Art@megglesart.bsky.social · 2w ago

Hey Etsy, I love how you tried to placate artists by implementing new changes and then quietly added bullshit to your ToS, which I highlighted below. After this month, I will be moving my shop. F*ck off.

Time to leave all public discord servers and make your own discord servers private. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Discord will soon let anyone find public server messages through Google - Dexerto

Discord has announced a major change to how its public communities appear online, allowing messages from certain servers to show up in Google and other web search results.

‘Tone down the inclusivity… so as to not cause offense’ has been the overarching message of all of our lives for the past decade.

Mass Effect 5 studio was reportedly told to tone down inclusivity by EA after Saudi Arabia buyout, former BioWare dev alleges, "so as to not cause offense"

It was allegedly instructed to remove a flag "too similar to the LGBTQIA+ flag"

Oh what wonderful news to wake up to this morning /gen #fuckai

Maybe with all the money they'll get by promoting gambling for emotes they'll finally be able to fund some accurate market research and the next feature won't be slop. Anyway, our emotes are site wide and don't use predatory practices like FOMO via watch streaks or gambling to get access to them.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 2w ago

Twitch is testing a loot box system for emotes. These Legendary emotes are 'rare versions of global emotes'. You get a Premium Emote Chest when you Gift Subs. You get a Regular Emote Chest when you hit Watch Streaks. Only available on select channels in the US and Germany.

BEGGING my fellow streamers to PLEASE stop using Tangia! I don't care if it makes for funny clips. Most voices on Tangia come from people who've very publicly said they don't want their voice taken from them this way. AI voices hurt ALL voice actors. You're better than this. Use other TTS.

When I do decide to return to content creation, it will be over on AltStream so make sure you drop me a follow 👉🏻👈🏻 altstream.online/psyquest/pro...

Sick of twitch and want to help an alternative platform grow? We are currently building our coffers up to pay for business expenses, but the sooner we get that sorted the sooner we can expand our hardware fleet! If you would like to support us check out our support page! altstream.online/support

Let's go AltStream. Hopefully I can give their platform a try in the future. Once I figure out how I want to juggle all my damn hobbies 🤣

Twitch continues to do our marketing for us I see. "we don't want to make our own tools, bet we can get someone else to pay for the LLM slop too" - twitch probably. Meanwhile, our site is made by a single human dev with assistance from community members who actually know what they're doing.

OpenAI and Twitch are teaming up to see what developers can build for the Twitch community with AI. The top five will be featured at Twitchcon.

Twitch is renaming the Stories function to Recaps. Recaps will now be automatically generated using signals to find high-quality moments, as well as clips you or your editors make. You can remove Clips from Recaps. Recaps will autoplay in the mobile live feed.

Just received this email WTF IS THIS??? This is a sure fire way to get me to NEVER play your game

Blocking all the games with GenAI from Next Fest feels like:

We don't want your code slop. Remember to hit ignore on games with an AI disclosure AND make sure you add the tag "GenAI" to the games page. Both of these help others identify the garbage on steam and also helps bury the garbage so it doesn't get traction.

AndresPlays@andresplays.bsky.social · 4w ago

Now that Steam Next Fest is coming, I'm seeing an increasing number of emails from games made with genAI. At some point, a guy sent me 14 GAMES. Let me be clear, I will not cover your game if your art was generated or if it was vibe coded. PAY ARTISTS.

For anyone wondering. No, I won't be moving back to Twitter. Y'all really screaming about this Attie shit like it's the end of the world, then think that returning to a site filled with nazi grifters and child porn is the best alternative? Get your fucking head checked...
