I still don’t feel good supporting it, personally. If everyone else is enjoying it, that’s cool, but I’ve got plenty of other games that don’t dip their toes into areas I’m not personally comfortable with. So for me it’s a non starter.

I was really excited for this game until I find out they use genAI features.

Thank you for engaging the question more seriously but I still don’t care for you tone to me. Good day.

Why can you not give me a straight answer?

That’s not an answer to my question. What value are they getting from me?

Okay, as I said in my other replies, the videos are unlisted, not monetized, and I don’t pay for it. What is not free about that?

Except I do, because I don’t have off site storage. 3-2-1 my friend. If my house burnt down, without the cloud storage I’d lose everything. Separate local copies is good for defending against disk failure.

I mean, I do use YT as cloud storage for free. And before you say the “nothing is free line,” note my other replies.

If I’m using YT as cloud backup storage for hundreds of hours of video that is unlisted, unmonetized, how am I helping them trample rights?

They are all stored on local hdds, in fact I have two copies locally. I said it’s my cloud storage, my backup off site.

I have many hard drives, and none of the videos are monetized or even publically listed. As I said, it’s my cloud storage, my offsite backup.

Not just catalog for viewing. What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free? I have hundreds of hours of stuff uploaded there.

That’s great to hear about their implementation but sadly I just still cannot get behind it right now. It’s a tough one for me because I do like a Sims competitor coming out and hope they do well for other reasons. As for the woke stuff, that’s just the gaming sphere in general these days it seems.

So you just wanted to make fun of me, got it.

I never called it AI slop, and I agree that there’s nuance and it is actually that nuance that had led me to my personal conclusion.

When I say “I personally yadda yadda” and then someone says “that’s a you problem,” that’s not an honest attempt at a conversation. Because I know it’s a me thing, I said that already. And they didn’t bring up any nuance, or points. They were just trying to “dunk” on me.

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.

Cool false equivalence. Why do you have to be snarky about someone just posting their personal opinion? I didn’t even wax poetic about why no one should get it, just left my 0.02

I literally said “personal”. Yes, that’s the definition of a “me problem” and I was open about that.

I also said I can admit this is a cool use of it also, so I’m not entirely sure what your comment meant to accomplish other than being mean spirited.

I am opposed to genAI in its current form for a number of personal ethical reasons. I can still admit that it sounds cool, but in its current form I cannot support genAI.

I was totally stoked for this game until I learnt they use genAI then it was an instant no thanks from me.
