It's conflicting because the commitment to no DRM and the preservation efforts for old games, keeping them running on modern systems, are tremendously valuable in the current consumer-hostile gaming landscape.

you’re right, that’s why i think an organized boycott with a clear demand would be the best, instead of just going around saying "don’t use GOG they use AI"

i want GOG to stop using AI, i don’t want GOG to disappear

Not wanting them to use ai is wanting them to disappear. It's quickly being obvious no company will be able to avoid using ai in some fashion because every tool is having ai shoved into it.

And companies can't make all their own tooling. It's physically impossible.
