Overview
- Reddit users flagged irregularities in GOG’s New Year sale art, which GamingOnLinux reported before wider coverage by other outlets.
- A forum account identified as a senior GOG graphic designer stated the banner is “fully AI,” while emphasizing they were sharing a personal view and not speaking for the company.
- Recent engineering listings for GOG’s Galaxy team ask for “active use of AI tools” and to “actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools” to improve efficiency and code quality.
- PCGamesN’s archive review found similar AI language in other engineering postings from recent months, indicating the requirement predates the latest sale artwork dispute.
- Reporters have requested comment from GOG without a substantive public reply in these articles, as scrutiny follows December’s roughly £18.6 million sale to co-founder Michał Kiciński and his pledge to uphold consumer-friendly principles.
