Clair obscure paid real artists. We have yet to see if these guys are doing so and not just using tech bros that think an ai prompt makes them and artost

    And if they do have artists, this is fine - yeah? Like Clair Obscur? Or are you just saying words recreationally?

    In any case it seems fucking insane to suggest the studio that made Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey in 2019 may not contain any true Scotsman, sorry, I mean real artists.

    It seems insane to suggest you stop caring.

    Also that game was pretty garbage. It's art direction was present.

    > record-breaking award-winning artsy-as-fuck game about art's art direction was garbage

    I no longer respect your opinion. Good day.

    What record?

    Was nominated, did not win awards except a small local award. Wasn't artsy at all, enjoys a solid 6 on metacritic.

    Don't worry, I was prepared to not respect your opinion from the outset. I also don't much care about the opinions of fools.

    Ohhh, you mean Ancestors, not Clair Obscur. Okay, that's significantly less what-the-fuck stupid.

    Nevertheless Ancestors obviously employed real artists doing real art since it came out before these tools existed. So it's complete nonsense to scoff that 1666 must be made by, like, WallStreetBets redditors.

    And meanwhile Clair Obscur still used these tools, and its Metacritic scores are "universal acclaim," and my god would it be nice if words meant anything here.
