I think you need to assess what you're actually mad about. Like here's a graphic from 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20150426174907im_/http://static01.gog.co

Like it's OK? pretty amateur, those shells on the right are all kinds of floaty. If I were trying to get a job as a graphic designer I def wouldn't have that banner in my portfolio. Honestly if you posted that today someone might call it out as AI. like would it have made you stop shopping at GOG? Are you mad that it's ugly or mad they didn't pay someone to make it ugly? reality is that's just how these kinds of things will be made from now on. It's a lot like the uproar CGI had in the movie industry, but nowadays it's like all CGI. and yeah even in big budget films like Marvel the CGI still sucks, I still prefer practical effects but it didn't stop me from going to see movies.

> I think you need to assess what you're actually mad about. I'm not mad. I'm a bit nervous and disappointed. And I know exactly why. It has nothing to do with the quality of the graphics of the ad. Besides, why would I "need to assess" anything? I have an opinion about these things. There's nothing wrong with that any more than there's something wrong with you having an opinion. > like would it have made you stop shopping at GOG? Of course not. But I'll point out that I have explicitly said that this ad isn't making me stop shopping at GOG either. > reality is that's just how these kinds of things will be made from now on. Yes, I'm fully aware of that. > I still prefer practical effects but it didn't stop me from going to see movies. It's funny you brought that up, because that was a large (but not the only) factor in why I did stop seeing modern movies.
