Steam has an AI disclaimer now and many games with the disclaimer still sell well. So yeah it's totally victim mentality. The evidence is just right on Steam, but instead of actually looking at the largest market in the gaming world some AI bros chose to fight an imaginary enemy in their minds. https://www.totallyhuman.io/blog/games-with-ai-disclosures-have-grossed-an-estimated-660m-on-steam https://www.totallyhuman.io/blog/games-with-ai-disclosures-h...

Per your link, only 6% of those games made more than $10k. Also, the AI disclaimer covers the very broad category of “AI has touched some part of this project at some point, no matter how minor, and no matter if it was eventually replaced with non-AI assets”. The original article seems to be more about the narrower category of “AI is a significant part of this project”, which would exclude nearly all of the top-12-grossing games that your link covers.

Here's a social experiment for you to try: create or switch to a different profile, put on your debate club hat and post some comments in this thread that are supportive of pro-AI positions. Speak eloquently and be polite. Say things that are defensibly reasonable if you were arguing the opposite position. Then watch the silent downvoting begin. Perhaps y'all aren't aware that this is happening, or the degree to which it doesn't matter how coherent or fair your point may be. If you speak out in favour of considered, responsible use of agentic LLM usage, there's a mob of socketpuppets that are eager to punish you because you're not on their team.

Also, top 3 comments in this very thread are all pro-AI right now. That's how deeply your victim mentality rooted. You chose to ignore all the positive parts and cling to the downvotes. That's a choice you made and I won't bother to convince you otherwise anymore.
