The tone deafness here is off the charts. Itโ€™s not okay for Bunta Sugawara (glad to hear there was backlash about that too), and it sure as hell ainโ€™t okay for Tupac, either. Also using a murdered Black manโ€™s corpse to โ€œadd value to your gameโ€ incenses me to no end. We didnโ€™t have to do this.

idk man www.ign.com/articles/str...

highlighted quote from the interview with Yokoyama about Tupac, and him saying "I think when you're creating any product in the entertainment industry, there's going to be criticism. You can't really say, "don't criticize us," that just doesn't make sense. Criticism is a freedom that people are free to have. But, this is something that we thought was a good idea. That this would be something that would add value to our game, which is why we chose to do this. "

so let me get this right, theres no speed up, they use it like photos, just worse photos than real ones, it allows "more experimentation" with no care if its quality experimentation or just playing with mud why exactly are you using it then, seems like lose lose lose situation.............oh money

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)
