Huh? I’m not saying the past was better, I’m saying the present is better. Stardew Valley is still #25 on the Steam top seller 100. Balatro, Factorio, Rimworld, Baldur’s Gate 3, Clair Obscur, all proper no ai/nft/blockchain grift products by decent studios in the top 100. The top 2 spots are free-to-plays with various monetization schemes: Counter-Strike 2 & Dota 2. Not my cup of tea, but nevertheless: they’re from Valve. Valve is not exactly known for embracing genAI. It’s simply not gaining traction in the gaming world at the same speed it’s creeping up into Ubisoft & EA.
