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.

No, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy and nonsensical nature of such rules. GenAI is not allowed for giving an "unfair" advantage, but engines with a lot of tools and automations don't? It's just an arbitrary line.

If you don't like the competition then don't participate in said competition. Other people don't agree with you that it is an arbitrary rule and that's okay.

Yea, and those people are wrong and dumb. To completely disqualify a game for simply using placeholder AI art work is idiotic. You're welcome to disagree as well, but I'm gonna call a spade a spade.

I'm going to call a spade a spade.

In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.
