Quoting: LoftyWe want Passion over Profits.

This sounds great, and I agree when it comes to art/games and even life in general, but I don't think this statement stands up to scrutiny. Do you, and/or how many people do you know, that work a job they are passionate for versus a job that pays the most?

I know there is a limit when more money does not matter, but from what I understand that is somewhere around 75-100kUSD/year. Most people (in the whole world) don't make that much. Hell, the median income (individual) in the USA is only ~40k. I don't think people are working these "low" paying jobs because they are passionate. I think they are taking whatever they can get.

As the old saying goes, money talks and bullshit walks.

I'm not saying this is good/right, it simply is the shitty nature of our for profit (and put a price tag on everything) world.

I think the point is that as Ai skeptical consumers it's what they want it's not what the company wants. Also I don't think bringing employee salaries is valid considering on of the main objections to the use of Ai is workforce reductions because of Ai.

In the end you may be right about the financial incentive to make cheap Ai slop games but we have the option to state our concerns using our wallets and use our voice to explain why.

*edit Some people don't care about the use of Ai in game and that's fine too. it's not going away.
