I just found out that Embark used genAI to replace recalling it’s voice actors. And I am devastated. It was my GOTY and now I’m boycotting it. To the point that I decided to be vocal about it.

I don’t want any AI (not talking about machine learning for the way the Arcs move, I’m talking about the voice actors being replaced) in the work of art that I think are the video games I play.

To game developers: Stop using AI in your video games!

Je viens de découvrir que Embark a utilisé de l’IA générative pour remplacer ses acteurs. Et franchement je suis tellement déçu. C’était clairement mon GOTY, et maintenant je me retrouve à boycotter tout ça, au point de carrément en faire des posts pour toucher le plus de monde possible.

Je ne veux aucune IA (et attention, je ne parle pas du machine learning utilisé pour les déplacements des Arcs) dans les oeuvres d’art que je consomme.

Aux développeurs: Arrêtez d’utiliser de l’IA dans les jeux vidéos !

    I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.

    I’m done creating an account for every single game.

      I don’t think it’s that big of deal, doesn’t it just link the account to your steam/psn/xbox live? I don’t even remember making a password for the account. It’s not like you also have to log in to another worthless launcher like blizzard/ubisoft/ea games on steam. That’s where I draw the line.

      You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)? Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?
      And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.

        No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.

        Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?

        I don’t know, but not my concern.

        And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.

        Not according to the prompt I was shown.

      Oh it’s one of those? Same reason I returned red dead redemption 2.

      Yep. I wish others were brave enough to actually make a change. Accounts are purely there to steal data and further enrich thieves.

        And beyond that, they’re just uselessly annoying for consumers
