Sweeney is such a fucking clown

He's so jealous of Steam you can smell it.

There is no AI hate campaign, it's natural hate!

A disclosure for transparency is not a hate campaign. Actually, Tim is doing a hate campaign against Valve.

Tim should just start his own store where he can set the rules and let the market decide whether or not they like the disclosures.

If he's right, his store would be a dominant force, and ... what's that? He's been trying that for the better part of a decade and nobody buys anything there?

Ah there's the Tim Sweeney we know! Balance has been restored

Good grief, Tim Sweeney is such an insufferable cunt.

Has no one sat Tim down and explained to him how much free marketing he gives Steam?

Fuck off with your slop, Sweeney.

What a mega loser....

I could rant about him again but I'll just post my favourite photoshop of him instead this time since he's just repeating himself obnoxiously.

No matter what your living conditions, you can never beat Valve on the price of real estate. Because they will live for free in Sweeney's mind as long as he's alive.

All Steam is doing is requiring disclosure of AI usage. Keep in mind that the average consumer likely doesn't care enough to abhor AI for ethical reasons. Basically, AI had no visible positive impact on gaming so far. Otherwise, disclosing AI use would not harm your ability to sell your game. Fact is, there's no killer app pro AI people can point to.

presume that if people know about AI, they hate AI; a true evangelist for AI!

Stop literally taking my money by making me work hard on my project.

Tim, you're just dumb. You think people don't see right through your business-brain bullshit, and it makes you look even dumber. Sit down and shut up.

"This week, Tim Sweeney pulls more shit out of his ass because he still isn't capable of running a company good enough to have an accidental monopoly."

If he keeps going like this, Steam will be getting a Christmas bonus out of a slander case.

It's hilarious how out of touch with gamers Sweeny is.

Man if I were Steam's PR guy I would nor resist making fun of Sweeney all day long.

I've gotten a refund on one game so far that got outed for using AI. Even with that, it's really easy for a dev to sweep away all AI discussion on their community forum.

Steam is doing the bare minimum in terms of AI disclosure. I guess even that is enough to make Sweeney seethe.

Out of touch cunt with no pulse on what gamers want whines. More at 7. Fuck off.

I hate most things people would call 'AI' for a variety of reasons. Hiding its usage in something just means I'm not going to trust your platform at all, not suddenly stop caring about the issue. It's a problem steam has as well with not properly enforcing meaningful disclosure or a vetting process. Hell, the recent event didn't even have a filter for AI so I spent no money on steam, either.

Translation: “stop giving consumers alternatives. It makes it difficult for us to beat them into submission”

He's such a useless douchebag. Shut up about steam and stop trying to slop your way to profit.

This is giving me some thoughts so I m writing them out here.

On the one hand, i can see where ai can be used as a tool in the production of games and art and writing. Especially early on in the ideation, development stage.

On the other hand, experts in those parts of production, the designers, storyboarders, writers etc. all seem to think that humans do those jobs much better than ai.

As a consumer of goods and services if i see ai in the end product i will think it's cheap. Which for some things that makes sense. An independent writer publishing their first book with their own money might not have the funds to spare for a human to make their cover. So they use ai. An indie game designer might have a great idea, but cant write or shit, or do character designs. In that space it makes sense.

However ai taints every aspect of the project. If i3 see an ai image on a book cover, im going to assume that ai was used in the writing. If sqeenix is going to use ai on a kingdom hearts promotional image im going to assume they're using it everywhere else in their production. if i buy their product at all im going to be looking at every inch of it to see where the human hands stopped. But I'm not going to pay premium prices for cheap ai slop.

A lot of us don't hate AI. Maybe he should ask AI for advice on not sounding like a dumbass

Step 1. Devs who use AI don't boast about how little effort they put into their products by using it

Sorry, who is that?

If you ever somehow falter, and believe that you should listen to this man... Remember that he went on the record very recently saying that if a game is to be successful, it must launch on their competitor's platform, Steam.

Is he only capable of saying the dumbest possible shit?

Let's call Tim Sweeney as "Tim Swiney". Someone with real Photoshop skills should give him a pig nose and ears.

All digital storefronts take 30% btw

Edit: Most All*

The idea of hating AI is weird because they don't give a fuck and can have it their way with an "oopsie". Now we have their social warriors.

Can't wait for all those people whose entire argument is "Oh yeah well Steam takes a 30% cut" to add this to their arsenal.

Instead of whining like a loser, why isn’t this guy trying to assassinate Gabe via various comical means to trigger whatever “Ready Player One” succession bullshit he has left in place to decide who is worthy to take stewardship of Steam?
