Hardest is getting removed from Steam by the developer at the end of the month, as they say "AI is bad" and "AI is evil" - oh my. Never heard of it until it was pointed out on Mastodon to me.

In a Steam announcement the developer mentioned they made the game in a few Summer months using AI "because in university there is so much brainwashing on students and all the tools are given for free". Now they have "realized the AI is not actually free, and it has a major effect on the economy and environment." and that some AI companies "can use this game just existing as a reason the get more investment for their AI companies, that benefit no one, but rather suck resources from the economy from hard working people".

Great PR move.

Never heard of this game or dev and now I've seen multiple articles about it.
