Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

Right. The far bigger problem is how trash of an engine Unreal5 is, and all the forced processing making things look and run like shit. But that's not just a Clair Obsur problem.

    Can I say I agree, very disappointed when I loaded up the game that I had to change so much to make it essentially playable on a high refresh rate 2k monitor. After disabling all the filters and turning off upscaling, I have it working fine but wow its like they made something beautiful and have no idea how to allow people to see it.

    After all the comparisons to Larian, I thought I'd see a more competently assembled package with Clair Obscur, but at least everything else is great besides the game engine and graphics settings.
