“A potential reason some players might tolerate generative AI is the perception that a lot of media has already lost its heart,” Darrah added. He suggested that when art is squeezed through a purely commercial lens, the “grit, soul, and spirit” are often sanded away. If the final product feels manufactured, consumers might start asking: “Why not just have a robot create it?”
Darrah was careful to clarify that he doesn’t personally endorse this view, but he believes it explains a shift in consumer attitude. Nevertheless, resistance to AI-generated content remains high among gamers, as evidenced by the sharp criticism Larian Studios faced when it was revealed they were investigating AI tools for the *Divinity* franchise earlier this month.
The CEO of Witchfire developer The Astronauts recently defended Larian, stating they are “definitely not evil,” while acknowledging that the pushback stems from a fundamental human desire to connect with other people through art.
