With the confidence of a man whose name is on some of the best videogame stories out there, BioWare veteran and Dragon Age setting creator David Gaider recently told GamesRadar that generative AI is a “virulent plague” on the games industry. Gaider, who most recently worked on “unholy roguelite deckbuilder” Malys, said that the way…
