How many times do some of the most creative and respected figures in this industry need to explain not only why AI is not the key to making a good game, but that it’s actually detrimental to creativity? Or as Dispatch’s creative director cleanly put: “maybe it’s a creative solution if you aren’t creative”. We’ve…
The news cycle this past week has been dominated with Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, and for good reason, Rockstar studios has sprung a big one, with the self-ordained “Cyberleek” drumming up attention with waves of public manifestos, statements, and a little crypto farming on the side.
