To the schmuck who wrote the article, specifically the line about translations:

ai use is hugely more egregious for everything what are you talking about

How nice of PC Gamer to piss on translators.

have to wonder how many used it and *didn't* disclose it

Fuck of with that "some things are less egregious than others" bullshit. There text of a video game are one of the first impressions someone will have with it.

My Walgreens put the tidepods behind a plexiglass case. They did not put all the other pod like brands behind a case. Did people not swallow all mighty pacs or Arm & Hammer power paks?

Does Steam have allow searching Or filtering by AI? That is I want to know which games not to get before I am in the checkout with them because of bad rec or a sale and miss the qualifier. I’d like to block all games with ai assets. I also want to leave bad comments on the developer’s social media.

Unfortunately it already has its foot in the door, but that just means we need to slam the door harder.

PULL UP

With how big my backlog is atp, and grossly inflated prices for hardware required to play a good chunk of newer AAA games, I'm having a really easy time avoiding these.

If you're using AI to translate a game, ALL your future games go in the ignore bin. PAY YOUR TRANSLATORS.

120 slop products I can save money ignoring.

You have to be a special kind of evil saying it less bad when other pieces of the games are made with AI. Go. Fuck. Yourself.

AI-slop is the bad guy in our game! store.steampowered.com/app/2783280/...

and thats 120 games I dont even need to bother looking at to know I dont want them.

It isn't.

...338 games out of thousands every year...easy to avoid then

The writer showing he holds translators to be valueless people should end his career as a writer. Every single translator is more important to the industry than you are. I'd rather see a thousand games "journalists" out of work than a single translator. You're a bad person, Shaun.

Hate to see it, but at least I know what games and devs to avoid :)

hell they’re green lighting THEIR job being replaced by it

Are you ready to actually argue why it's worse to use AI for music and textures and rather than using it just for translation? It seems not.

That's 120 to avoid!

Generative AI translations are not ok, have never been ok, and never will be ok Kindly go fuck yourselves

AI translating games is less egregious??? Huh??? I read the highlight first and thought this was going to be about code which is still wrong but that's insane. I don't want to read text in a game that a human didn't even bother to write fuck off.

Thank you to all the slop mongers for making it easier for me to stand out as a real developer.

That's a huge jump. It'll be interesting to see if players actually care about the disclosure or just the gameplay.

Tell me you've never played an AI translated game without telling me you've never played an AI translated game

Just means I know what games not to purchase.

Boy that is fucking BLEAK. Almost as bleak as whatever hack wrote this piece trying to sane wash the slop. Please SUCK LESS, pc gamer

You're not winning the Gamers any better reputation jsyk

Is Monster Hunter Wilds one of them, lol?

When I looked at new releases a couple weeks ago I opened every single page and expanded all the sections to make sure, to the best of my ability, I was not supporting or wishlisting a single game which used any genAI in any capacity. It took forever -_-

So what you mean to tell me is only 218 games released last week

And they ara all slop

@sushi.jogabilida.de

Tell Shaun his article sucks

All of these developers are going to be wondering why their games bombed and why the layoffs are happening

So, only 218 games were released.

Tell them I hate them!

That means the other 180 games are the one worth paying attention.

Sounds like only 218 games released on steam last week

Your job is next, you know? The goddamn nerve of some people! This is one of the most obnoxious, reality-divorced takes I have heard coming out from the hallowed halls of gaming journalism. Do you even understand... idk, words? What a short-sighted thing to write.

At least we know that AI could replace article writers at PC Gamer in particular.

This sucks.

I feel like studios that get caught lying about that deserve a lifetime ban from the platform... Granted I think studios that use it at all deserve a lifetime ban.

Please educate yourself. locdandloaded.net/2025/05/13/h...

Less games to worry about is always good.

Guess y'all wouldn't mind if your articles got machine translated then, huh? Either way, I have a backlog comprised of several years of gaming, plus lots of stuff I constantly revisit. I don't need this and I can wait until the bubble pops.

To be clear : those 100 bucks AIslop games are 100% a money laundering scheme.

So, only 218 games released is what this is saying.
