- He emphasized protecting artistry, asserting that creative intention must come from human artists.
- GamesRadar+ and PC Gamer amplified the remarks from a Fallout TV press event, presenting the position as a cautious approach to generative AI.
- Surveys cited in coverage point to wider use of AI across studios, including 62% of Unity users, about one-third of GDC respondents, and over half of Japanese firms polled at Tokyo Game Show.
- That same day, publisher Running with Scissors canceled Postal: Bullet Paradise after criticism of apparent generative-AI use, as figures like Epic’s Tim Sweeney predict AI will touch nearly all production.
