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".

Why? He claims there is no benefit yet wouldn't have his own game without it.

Hindsight can be a powerful thing Just because something seemed beneficial or good in the moment, does not mean it actually was. And even if it was, if the guy reflected on it and decided he didn't support it anymore, that's his choice to make.
