The amount of game review requests I am receiving by eMail has gone up considerably the past few weeks... ...also nearly all of them have been made with GenAI... ...and yes, they all LOOK the part but don't seem to have any substance... Beautiful on the outside, hollow on the inside. :(

There's a metaphor here that I'm having trouble articulating... Notions of things being "skin deep", or how celebrity culture pushed men and women (ESPECIALLY women) to reach nigh impossible standards of appearance at the cost of everything else. That's GenAI gamedev right now. :|

I'm kinda fortunate that the vast majority of unsolicited games in my inbox aren't AI — a testament to how the adventure game sphere has (mostly) rejected the slop allure. But there is a CONCERNING amount of tools and ports for old Sierra games that are slopcoded.
