I appreciated this summary of the past ten years of other horrors that were inflicted on gaming:
In games we've lived through a decades-long onslaught of some of the worst influences: deep addiction loops, black box loot crates, outright gambling, predatory-flavored live service subscription models, dark patterns on children, blockchain play-to-earn, NFTs, metaverse. All these things reaping from the relationship between the game developer and the player, and now finally GenAI arrives to short-change them once more because now we don't even have to put the meaningful effort into making the thing at all.
