This was made almost a year ago fool

(+2)(-9)

But it's still here for sale and download.

Yet, it can be played fully on the web on itch.io. You don't need to pay for it, it is purely optional.

(+1)(-12)

But why making paying for stolen goods an option?

(+4)(-1)

ask itch.io we don’t know

(+1)(-13)

I have. They're strangely radio silent about it. It makes me wonder, because an innocent man doesn't withhold evidence that would exonerate him. Silence rings loudest.

He goes around doing this to every game using AI art

(+1)(-15)

Wow. AI techbros are all terrible people. This proves that.

Not every single dev is talented at making art nor has 10s of thousands of dollars to commission art. AI art allows indie devs to actually have visually pleasing art in their games. If you have issues with it's morality, then you need to take it up with your government.

The fact you think that it costs tens of thousands of dollars to commission artists and that theft from independent creatives is okay seem to indicate to me that you're extremely sheltered and morally deviant. Like you obviously are so sheltered that you never even bothered googling how much an artist on DeviantART charges for a commission. Do the police know you think it's okay to shoplift and commit larceny?

Dude, people do struggle with the creativity aspect of creating art like this. There shouldn't be a problem with someone doing that, yes they could be "stealing art" but it's not the same thing with literally taking someones whole peices of art and it becoming the biggest game in the whole world. They probably just wanted to create a game and maybe didn't have time to make their own drawings and art. Making art is extremely difficult to do, I would think you would know that as well, as there are other creators who make their own art and it takes years for them to finish and some people just can't find the time for stuff like that. Just let people do what they want especially for something so minimal as making an indie game like this.

Also, really? You're comparing this tiny indie game using art from something else to larceny and shoplifting? Those are different things compared to this. Maybe the art was just placeholders like a bunch of other games do until they either left the project or couldn't finish it anymore.

Dude, for one, not everyone goes searching about these specific things, I' not gonna keep arguing with you, but you also need to remeber, you are getting mad about somebody who made this game over a year ago. It doesn't matter about this game anymore, you proved your point, but yelling at people over it just makes you a jerk. Yes I have seen these things before of ai stealing art from other people, but you should just calm down about it dude.

I'm quite calm. Quite shocked at the sheer vitriol directed at me, bewildered that so many AI defenders act so unhinged in response to facts they don't know about their toy. I can be quite blunt in my wording, but I wouldn't call that "yelling."
