Either one pretty much always happens and are just as bad as the other.

I’m not to sure either on the “not using it is a form of losing to it” considering there’s still plenty of other game devs and artists that are doing just as good without having to resort to the slop machine.

I would rather him stop making games if this is the route that they’re gonna be taking, I say this after following the series and anything related to it for a long time.
