I think Valves genAI disclosure policy is toothless considering how many games use genAI and don't disclose and yet face no punishment over it whatsoever.

The hardest part about working on your own projects is definitely keeping up the routine. For some reason my brain always judges work I do for others as more important than when I do it for myself. Maybe I need to trick myself into thinking it's not for myself

Got my GOG version of Morrowind to run on my Steam Deck via OpenMW. I love Morrowinds Hypertext style Dialogue System and I am heavily considering implementing something similar into my game

I just had a realisation of why XBOX's new CEO makes such seemingly nonsensical decisions (like saying TES will get more funding and then firing half the gamedev team of ESO and firing people at bethesda), she probably let's AI decide what decisions to make....

Since people are talking about physical media being discontinued by Sony: imo it wouldn't be an issue if the digital media was DRM-free. If it's not DRM-free you do not own it.

Once again the devs are fired instead of the people responsible for all that mismanagement. Then they will try to squeeze out more money from customers enshittifying their games and wonder why their games became worse and why they are losing even more customers and fire even more workers...

Do companies not realise that using genAI in marketing material ruins brand value? Because customers see that they can't even afford to pay an artist. Unless I am misunderstanding and their entire goal is to have genAI scam aura.

I think it's hilarious how Tim Sweeney desperately wants the Metaverse to still be a thing and thinks gamers would be happier if they could spend more money on in-game items. Being out of touch seems to be a hobby for some CEOs

I hope that once the AI bubble bursts and people realise it only burnt money and did never have a ROI, that all the managers and CEOs that pushed for it get fired and never get a management job again as they have less knowledge to lead a company than ANY of their employees do

The irony of this one is hilarious. That people, including this author, don't seem to realise NOT using LLMs is an option too, confuses me. it's like these people stopped thinking for themselves and can't fathom not using the bullshit machine arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

If bsky goes bankrupt, this thing no one asked for, that they apparently put all their money in instead of making the app better, is why. I don't think they are aware of how much people on here despise genAI

Big data companies make most of their money with ads. Since AI, advertisers can't be sure their ads get shown to real people. Hence ID verification is being pushed. If it was for the kids they'd just make exploitative retention techniques on social media illegal, but that would cause them to lose $

So this Anthropic study found that using AI coding tools made people learn less, debug worse, and didn't make them significantly faster at all. Funny how these supposed amazing AI benefits never seem to show up in studies.

Nintendo could easily make NDS games available for the switch 2 if they wanted. Just make an adapter that holds the joycons while the screen is flipped into a vertical position and split the screen virtually. Since it's a touch screen you can get all the functionality back as well

I think Pombon's final evo will be inspired by the New Guinea Singing Dog, its closely related to the Dingo (Fire Fairy maybe?). Gecqua I think might be Water/Psychic and I hope it gets a turban idk why. But I can imagine it having one. And Browt might turn into a Cassowary inspired one #pokemon

Now that Steam quietly changed their AI policy, using a "Non Gen AI" seal like polygon treehouse's @kanaratron.bsky.social seal is gonna be even more important for Indie Game Devs. Being public about not using AI slop, even if it's "just" in the code, is gonna become a very important distinction

I think it's a shame when games try to add eldritch horror bosses and then go on and over explain their lore and existence and background... that's not eldritch horror, that's just a creepy tentacle themed boss now. Eldritch horror is supposed to be hard for mortal minds to grasp & unexplainable

The more AI-slop floods the internet, the more I think there needs to be a new network that somehow manages to ban all this bullshit, and only allows human created stuff and somehow also bans data scraping by AI corpos. Because the current internet is turning into a rotting corpse.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

Why can't it be treated like books, where if you publish a book you give a copy to the national library etc? They'd rather have old games die than anyone dare to enjoy a product they no longer make money with
