One Game Publisher Is Pushing Back Against AI Art With Contracts That Ban It: ‘It’s Cancerous’

"It has made my life more difficult in many ways…suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn't," Bender said. "It is now written into our contracts if we're publishing the game, 'no fucking AI assets'."
Talk is cheap but damned if this didn't make me look into what the studio has done...
And I'll point out that Workers & Resources is on a historical sale. For those of us boycotting American goods, it is an American company but you can at least buy it on GOG which, as I understand it, is Polish. (Unsure with the recent sale but he's Polish so...)
GOG is still headquartered in Poland. As far as I understood, the sale was to spin it off on it's own, so it had it's own focused staff/company entity. Before it was part of CDPR, the devs of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077.
I knew them primarily from having a better Civ game than the Civ series. I'd recommend Old World, now even more.
